TikTok Analytics overview
TikTok Monitoring is a Data Music analytics section on Backstage dedicated to analyzing the performance of your tracks on TikTok and the ensuing impact on your streams.
The objective is to answer 2 major questions for artists:
- Is my music performing well on TikTok?
- How does that impact myglobal streaming performance?
Please keep in mind that we receive data on your TikTok performance on D+1, while data on streams is available on D+2.
This new feature consists of 2 pages:
- An overview of your whole catalog’s performances on TikTok
- A focus on a given track you select from the overview
You may also click on this icon 
for more insights on each page of your TikTok analysis.

At the top of the page, you may filter and restrict the analysis to 7, 28, 90 or 365 days.

Questions you may ask
Is Douyin data available on the platform?
Yes, Douyin is available in TikTok Analytics.
How fresh is the displayed data?
Acquired data on streams has a 2-day delay while acquired data on TikTok has a 1-day delay. Therefore, the curves do not end on the same day.
How is my catalog monetized in TikTok ?
TikTok monetizes the video creation, not views.
What is the difference between UGC & PGC?
When uploading a song to TikTok, you select a specific extract for that song that will available for users when creating videos through playlists. All videos created with the extract you provided are Playlist-generated content (PGC).
However, a user can choose to use another part of your song. As TikTok fingerprints your whole song, it is able to link the audio of the video to your song. This is User-generated content (UGC).
UGC can represent between 5 to 100% of the content created with your music.
Do I analyze UGC or PGC in the TikTok Analytics page?
In the TikTok app statistics, you will only see the PGC related figures.
In the TikTok analytics page in Backstage, we display a mix both UGC & PGC.
I don't see the same number of video creations between Backstage and the TikTok app. How can you explain this gap ?
The gap can be explained by 2 factors:
- We display PGC & UGC, when the TikTok app only displays PGC;
- The number that you see on the TikTok app is the number of videos that are currently live and public on the platform. This number does not include private or deleted videos. However, the number you see in Backstage is the sum of the number of videos created each day. It can include private videos and videos that have since been deleted.
