From charts to Radio Date: the music network I have built

From charts to Radio Date: the music network I have built

Every new song deserves more than one shop window. That idea led me to build, with the companies of Mantovani Group, a network connecting music charts, Radio Date and radio data. Today our work helps artists and new releases reach different audiences on sites people already use to discover music.

I am proud that Classifica Indie, Classifica Italiana and Classifica Radio have their own official homes and appear on many other sites in our network. Radio Date now appears on 18 sites, including Air Date. This year we have also opened up our experience to other businesses through Mantovani Group's White Label services.

Our charts tell different stories

Classifica Indie gives independent and emerging artists space to be found beyond the busiest channels. Classifica Italiana follows the releases and projects shaping the Italian market. Classifica Radio shows how songs are appearing across radio stations. Each has its own identity, and all three share our commitment to useful, current and publicly accessible pages.

Our three main websites are the starting point for this network. Each hosts its own chart and a dedicated Radio Date section:

Classifica Indie: the official chart and Radio Date.

Classifica Italiana: the official chart and Radio Date.

Classifica Radio: the official chart and Radio Date.

We also launched Monitor Radio this year, making airplay detections and statistics available to explore. On 18 October 2026 its homepage showed more than 44,000 artists, 128,000 tracks and 3.6 million broadcasts recorded. Those growing figures make me proud of my team. I would rather show what we do than merely talk about it.

A Radio Date that does not stay in one place

When an artist releases a song, its title, artwork, date and links should travel together. Our Radio Date pages appear across different sites: a listener can discover the release, an industry professional can find it, and a broadcaster can look it up. Each page creates another chance to connect and adds to the project's online presence. Search engines choose what to index, but a carefully built network gives music many more doors to walk through.

From these three sites, the work reaches across the network: Classifica Indie, Classifica Italiana and Classifica Radio are also republished on the other portals, in their music chart sections, alongside Radio Date. This brings our charts to different audiences and gives new releases more chances to be discovered. Here is where you can find them:

They include the charts and Radio Date on my own site. I like the idea that an artist can be discovered on a specialist portal, found again on a promotion site and then arrive here, with useful information about the project at every stop.

What happens behind the scenes makes me even prouder

A network like this takes more than duplicating pages. It takes people, investment, development, servers, well-organised data and daily support. Many businesses already use our music distribution, Digital Delivery to radio and radio monitoring services. Each new integration is another way to support the work of artists, labels and partners.

Those results are why I pushed to bring our White Label offering to market. I wanted other businesses to grow with tools that already work while keeping their own identity. They do not need to look like us. They need to offer an excellent service under their own name.

White Label: your business up front, our experience behind it

With Mantovani Group's White Label services, a business presents services under its own name, logo and domain. The customer keeps dealing with the partner, while we provide the technology and operations agreed for the project. I like this model because it helps other businesses become stronger without losing what makes them recognisable.

We can work on music distribution, from catalogue management to platform delivery; Digital Delivery to radio, for organising releases and promotional material; and radio monitoring, with accessible detections and reports. Charts and Radio Date can complete a coherent editorial presence. Each project is shaped around what the partner actually needs.

A label can focus on its artists. A promoter can add tools and data to its offer. A music business can launch new services without building every technical component from scratch. The brand and customer relationship stay with the partner. To me, that is the strength of White Label.

Let's talk about the next project

I have worked in music publishing management and distribution for years. I know how much visibility, data and relationships matter, and that no single approach fits everyone. The most interesting part of my work is finding what can make a real difference for an artist or a business.

If you run a label, promotion company or editorial project and want to bring charts, Radio Date, distribution, Digital Delivery or monitoring into your business, book an online meeting with me. We will look at your project, identify the tools that could give it more reach and control, and map a route towards your goals. It is the quickest way to see what our group could do for you.
