The sound of the market
A market’s mood, read through what it plays.
What it is
The music-led mood read. The single signal no other intelligence vendor ships as portable intelligence, and the one with peer-reviewed backing as a mood proxy.
How it's built
260,000 chart entries (2019–2026) decomposed into tempo, key and home-grown share, then validated against consumer confidence. We read the domestic layer separately from the full chart, because imports dilute the local mood.
What you get
- Position-weighted tempo, major-key share and valence, monthly.
- The domestic layer: how the home-grown repertoire feels, stripped of international hits.
- Validated, receipted correlations with the macro mood.
From the data
In our published France validation, tempo tracks the savings-intent sub-index at r = −0.52 and major-key share tracks consumer confidence at r = +0.43.
