6MO Report (Part 1): Discovering Rising Artists on Chartmetric
In Part 1 of our new 6MO: Breakthrough Artists report, we discover rising artists making an impact on YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, Shazam, Bandsintown, Twitter, and Wikipedia.
This week, we released the second edition of our semi-annual 6MO report, where we decided to really double down on the idea of “breakthrough artists” and finding novel ways to discover them through data.
Across YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, Shazam, Bandsintown, Twitter, Wikipedia, and our own Cross-Platform Performance metric, we explicitly shined a light on who was bubbling up in popularity between July and December 2019.
Recently, Rolling Stone’s Elias Leight keyed in on TikTok as one of the major new sources for breaking artists — a takeaway that has proven itself over and over, with Australia’s Tones and I, the United States’ Arizona Zervas, and US/Europe’s Ashnikko all riding the TikTok wave. Our new report helps illuminate that dynamic in the second half of 2019.
