Understanding your Statement CSV Export

Here's what each of the headers in your CSV export mean.

Updated over a week ago

Whenever a new royalty statement is available, you can view a summary in your Spare Music account. You’ll also have the option to download a CSV file that breaks down each individual sales line contributing to that month’s revenue. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the columns

  • ID: An internal Spare Music ID used to track a specific sale. Use this if you have questions about an item in your royalty statement.

  • Sales Date: The date or approximate date the sale occurred. For example, if a stream took place on May 3rd, 2024, this might show as the end of May, as stores usually report data monthly.

  • Transaction Date: The date the royalty was credited to your account. This often differs from the Sales Date since stores report royalties for past activity at different times.

  • Release ID: The ID of your release within Spare Music, which also appears in the URL when viewing the release on our platform.

  • Label: The label associated with the release. By default, this will show as “Spare Music” unless you’re using Artist Pro or Label plans.

  • Release Code: The UPC or EAN for the release.

  • Release Title: The published title of your release, which may also include any version descriptions if reported by the store.

  • Release Artist: The artist(s) associated with the release. If there are multiple artists, they will be separated by the “&” symbol.

  • Track ID: The ID of the track in our system.

  • Track ISRC: The ISRC under which the track was released, also visible in your Library.

  • Track Title: The distributed title of the track.

  • Track Artist: The artist(s) listed for the track.

  • Territory: The region where the sale occurred.

  • Type: The type of royalty, typically “Streaming.”

  • Quantity: The number of units (streams/sales) on this line.

  • Currency: The currency the sale is reported in, with all royalties in USD.

  • Net Amount: The net amount credited to you after any admin fees or collaborator payments have been deducted.
