The Earnings dashboard shows how much money you've actually earned and received from all stores for each of your released tracks. The stream and download numbers shown here only reflect paid activity — meaning you’ve already been compensated for those plays.
The Trends dashboard, on the other hand, shows near real-time data from platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer, updated almost daily. This dashboard gives you a preview of your performance, but it does not reflect finalized earnings.
Because royalty payments have a 2–3 month delay from the time a stream or download occurs to when it’s paid out, it's normal to see higher numbers in your Trends dashboard than in your Earnings dashboard. The discrepancy simply reflects the difference between real-time activity and finalized revenue reports.
