Chartmetric: What’s Behind the Playlist
As discussed previously, we’ve built Chartmetric in response to the growth of playlists as a dominant listening format. Chartmetric does a lot to synthesize diverse data into a coherent picture of the playlisting world, so we figured we’d unpack some of the platform’s most salient features and functionality to get you started.
The playlist landscape
We’ve built our landing page to give you a snapshot of where listening growth is occurring in playlists right now. Without having to dig deeply into tables and numbers, this initial view introduces and reintroduces you to the playlists that are currently seeing traction.
Beyond this quick look at the playlist landscape, we also offer concrete charts of top playlists with intuitive sorting features. In an instant, you’ll understand which playlists, artists, and songs are driving listening and which playlists are blowing up.
Stop by once a day to stay in the loop, or click on any specific playlist for a deeper dive.
Playlists: one-on-one
For tens-of-thousands of playlists and rising, Chartmetric provides rich metadata, including: followers over time, popularity, songs, and song attributes (like “energy”, “danceability”, and “liveness”). By examining the details of playlists, you’ll discover what dimensions are most valuable in growing a listening base and how playlist curators respond to their audiences.
The artists and songs within
Playlists wouldn’t exist without tracks, and tracks wouldn’t exist without artists. This is why we also provide insight on a track-by-track and artist-by-artist basis, allowing you to see where tracks and artists are featured and how they are performing.
All networked together
Whether it be the forest of playlists or the trees of individual tracks, Chartmetric gives you the tools you need to understand the world of playlists at-large and at a granular level. We understand that playlists are made up of many living parts (artists, fans, curators) and that you shouldn’t be limited to data on singular elements. This is why we’ve made it so that anywhere you are on the platform, you’re always only one click away from a deeper view.
By combining breadth and depth, Chartmetric is the only place you need to visit to keep your finger on the pulse of playlists.
