Satellite radio channel lineup with genres, categories, channel numbers across platforms, and real-time play-by-play track history across SiriusXM music channels.
The SiriusXM dataset on Rebrowser is free — but GitHub has file size and storage limits, so this repo contains a limited sample. For the full dataset (59.9M records, updated daily), visit rebrowser.net/products/datasets/siriusxm.
This dataset contains 2 entities, each in its own folder: Radio Channels (channels), Channel Plays (channel-plays). See below for a full field breakdown, sample counts, and data distributions for each.
