Few would argue that Spotify’s dominating presence is an indicator of artists’ success on streaming and social platforms — critical components of the upward momentum in today’s music industry. The company’s Spotify For Artists offering has evolved into a powerful tool for artists to understand their Spotify data. However, once you master Spotify’s analytics tool, there are many services available to take this data further and expand your scope to include market-level data, for example.
