world and learn more about their journeys to the top of the charts,” said Rebekah Zabarsky, Executive Producer of the
awards and Marketing Director at Parrot Analytics. “We are looking forward to tuning in alongside audiences and fans to
celebrate the stories that kept us all company as we sheltered-in-place for most of 2020.”

resonates with people in 100+ markets around the world, across all platforms. The company captures over 1 billion new
data points each day across the consumer activity spectrum, including video consumption (streaming/downloads), social
media engagement (hashtags, liking, sharing) and research actions (reading about shows, writing about shows, etc).
