📊 Monitor and examine Spotify performance through time.

The analytics for each Artist are designed to give you a quick overview of their overall Spotify popularity, going back years. Section by section, you can dig into the more detailed breakdown of all the key metrics: how many Spotify followers they currently have, what their Spotify popularity score is, and what the listener-to-follower ratio is.

To put things into perspective, the numbers are also compared to their own metrics 12 months ago and to the industry average in that category.

💿 Overview tracks and the Spotify playlists they are included on.

Spotify is all about tracks and how successful they are. Our easy-to-use overview displays each Artist’s top-performing tracks and their release dates, and lets you sort the list by the number of streams and Spotify popularity.

You can also see if and how playlists are driving this performance. Examine tracks that have landed on influential playlists, evaluate these playlists by their subgenres and reach, monitor how many active playlists are currently featuring these tracks, and oversee the positions the tracks landed on. This can help you calibrate any playlist strategy.

Check out the “Popular Playlists Together” section to see how various Artists are connected in terms of appearing on the same popular Spotify playlists. This will give you interesting insights into their musical similarities and industry ranks.
 

👏🏽 Get to know the audiences by city and country.
