Look behind the Spotify stream count!

Soundcharts distinguishes between different types of playlists so that you always know not only the artist’s Spotify stream count, but what is driving their Spotify performance: longtail user engagement or high-volume editorial playlists.

Track official Spotify playlists

Spotify’s editorial team can offer huge exposure — and so the artist’s presence on editorial playlists is a crucial metric to assess the impact of playlist strategy. Soundcharts provides a full overview of an artist’s performance on Spotify editorial playlists, including Discover Weekly, Release Radar, Today’s Top Hits, New Music Friday, Rap Caviar, Mint, ¡Viva Latino! & many more.

Monitor major-owned playlist brands

Major Labels are a huge part of the industry landscape. Accordingly, major-owned playlist brands are a vast promotion channel in the playlist world — and a key indicator of an artist’s involvement with the most influential players in the business. Review the artist’s presence on major-run playlists, including Topsify, Digster, and Filtr.

FAQ about Spotify data and artist insights

How does Spotify impact artist visibility and success?

With 675 million monthly active users and 236 million paying subscribers, Spotify is the single biggest digital music consumption platform. However, Spotify is not only a way to monetize your music. Spotify also offers a way to reach new audiences, promote your music and build your fan base. 

Why Spotify for Artists and Spotify Analytics isn’t enough

Of course, Spotify proprietary data tools, like Spotify for Artists and Spotify Analytics, can provide more detail on the artist’s performance on the platform — if you have access to the artist’s Spotify profile, of course.

  • The Spotify for Artist tool, for example, stretches far beyond the data analytics, allowing you to submit unreleased songs for playlist consideration, set up your artist profile, and more.
  • Then, Spotify also offers a data tool called Spotify Analytics, designed specifically for labels that want to track the performance of all their artists on Spotify, providing functionality to Spotify for Artists, but scaling it to the entire label's catalog.

However, if you want to assess the artist’s performance across the board, Spotify is just one line in the long list of music industry platforms and mediums you have to track. To have a complete outlook on the artist’s career, you need to gather and aggregate the data across dozens of sources.
