Genre tags fuel recommendation engines, editorial routing, and ad targeting. DSP taxonomy rarely matches the marketing language on your one-sheet, so it is easy for catalog entries to drift away from the narrative you intend.

Pulling the exact genres Soundcharts stores for a recording lets you sanity-check how the market classifies the track before you pitch, license, or repackage it.

• Synch briefs and creative decks. Paste the three primary styles directly into project docs so supervisors know what to expect.
• Catalog QA. Flag tracks that were mislabeled (e.g., rock tagged as pop) and request corrections before the data spreads.
• Market analysis. Cluster releases by their actual DSP genre taxonomy, not internal assumptions.
