The statistics have been published since 2014, and in its current form comparable from 2008 onwards. The statistic can be compared with the organizations' own statistics. There may be some minor differences if the organizations make post-postings in deposits and withdrawals after data has been submitted to Statistics Denmark.
With regards to statistics on registered musical works in 2023, data has been corrected for the years 2000-2015. Thus, Statistics Denmark's calculation of the number of musical works differs from Koda's for the period in question. The correction is due to Koda changing its definition of what a Koda work is in 2015 (read more under Statistical processing).

Due to a reorganization within the statistical systems at IFPI, who supplies the data used for the table series MUSIK1, there is for 2021 not possible to subdivide revenue from the sale of recorded music into Danish and Foreign. The total is instead only available with regards to form of distribution.
One of the data suppliers has switched to a new accounting system between the data delivery for 2021 and 2022. The transition to the new accounting system has meant that it has not been possible to provide data for 2022 that corresponds to previous years. Due to deficiencies in the data delivery, it has not been possible to place amounts as precisely as previously. Where possible, some of data has been imputed based on 2021 data.
