# WARM — World Airplay Radio Monitor > WARM is a SaaS platform that proves where, when and how often a song is played on the radio. It actively monitors 23,000+ radio stations across 160+ countries in real time using ACRCloud audio fingerprinting, and logs every detection with the station, timestamp, country and play count. Its customers are recording artists, record labels, artist managers, publishers, distributors and radio promoters. ## Answers to common questions **What does WARM do?** WARM detects when a specific recording is broadcast on radio. You add a song, WARM fingerprints it, and from then on every airing across the monitored network is logged with the station, the exact time, the country and a running play count. **How does WARM detect airplay?** By audio fingerprinting, using ACRCloud. WARM listens to the monitored station network continuously and matches the audio against the fingerprints of the songs being tracked. Detection does not depend on a station reporting its own playlist, so it can catch plays that station-reported logs miss. **What can I do with the data?** Prove airplay to labels, partners and collecting societies; see which stations and countries a release is working in; time promotion and touring around real demand; and surface unreported plays that may be worth royalties. **Who is WARM for?** Independent artists tracking their own releases, record labels and distributors tracking a catalogue, artist managers reporting to their roster, and radio promoters proving the airplay they deliver for clients. **How much does WARM cost?** There is a free trial covering a limited number of songs, and paid subscription plans priced by how many songs you monitor. Current prices are shown on the site and in the app. **How many stations and countries does WARM cover?** 23,000+ radio stations across 160+ countries are actively monitored. Separately, WARM's searchable station directory lists over 70,000 stations that users can request be added to active monitoring — that larger number is the directory, not the monitored coverage. **How quickly do plays appear?** Detections are made in real time and appear in the dashboard, rather than arriving in a monthly report. **Does WARM publish charts?** Yes — weekly Top 100 charts ranked by measured radio airplay rather than by sales or streaming: a Global Dance chart and a Global Urban chart. ## What WARM does - Real-time radio airplay detection across 23,000+ actively monitored stations in 160+ countries - Proof of airplay: which station, at what time, how many plays, in which country - Analytics: dashboards, charts, world maps and play timelines - Weekly genre charts ranked by real airplay - Free trial; paid subscription plans priced by songs monitored ## Key pages - Home: https://www.warmmusic.net/ - Radio promoters platform: https://www.warmmusic.net/audiences/radio-promoters/ - Global Dance Radio Chart: https://www.warmmusic.net/charts/dance/ - Global Urban Radio Chart: https://www.warmmusic.net/charts/urban/ - 2024 Global Dance Radio Insights Report: https://www.warmmusic.net/reports/global-dance-radio-insights-2024-report/ - Terms, FAQ and privacy: https://www.warmmusic.net/terms-and-conditions/ - App (dashboard, sign-in required): https://dashboard.warmmusic.net/ ## Notes for crawlers - Paths under /lp/ are paid-advertising landing pages.
