The Bedrock of Trust: Our Data
At Chartmetric, we’ve moved beyond the realm of mere numbers. Our data is a trusted companion for creative decision-makers in the music industry.
This trust in our data is not merely a feature, but a promise we fulfill every day.
It guides decisions, uncovers opportunities, and most importantly, fuels the growth of countless music careers. We have a rigorous process of data verification using automation and human insights, eliminating the plague of duplicate entries and providing you with a single, authoritative source of truth for every artist.
The 360-Degree Digital Footprint: Informed Decision Making
Our platform captures a panoramic view of an artist’s digital presence on a global scale. Instead of visualizing an artist’s performance on one platform, you have the power to connect the dots across multiple platforms and unlock a holistic understanding of an artist’s reach and influence.
We tap into a wide array of sources, that encompass both popular and niche platforms. We delve into the content from renowned streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, as well as dominant social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. In addition, we also factor in data from less mainstream but equally significant platforms such as Line Music and Melon.
Our reach extends beyond these platforms, taking into account radio airplay and the buzz generated across online media. We analyze an assortment of metrics to create a holistic representation of performance and reach, gauging factors like user engagement, the number of streams, and views to ensure comprehensive insight into the popularity of various content.

Comparing similar artists
If you’re an artist, understanding the careers of artists with a similar career stage, genre and fanbase is key to foster your own growth. Our Neighboring Artists section allows you to see artists in the same genre with similar Chartmetric ranks to a specific artist, providing you with a quick view of who are the immediate competitors–or possible collaborators. The Artist Comparison Pro tool lets you choose up to 10 artists at the time and compare them based on a specific metric while our Artist Comparison Report tool gives you a summary of all the most important metrics for up to three artists.
Grow an artist's visibility
Playlists are one of the main ways that listeners find new music these days. There are many small playlists by independent curators that serve as discovery hubs for larger playlists so knowing what playlists to pitch is crucial for any artist’s growth. With our Playlist Journeys section you can see exactly what smaller playlists are feeding the larger playlists you want to be in. Beyond playlists, brand partnerships are a great way to increase an artist’s visibility and grow their fanbase. With our Brands page, you can see the Instagram audience overlap between an artist and major global brands in all sectors to identify partnerships that can benefit both the artist and the brand.
