What is Chartmetric?
Chartmetric is a music analytics platform that collects and analyses data from streaming services, social media, and other music industry sources. It helps artists, labels, managers, and music professionals understand how their music performs across different platforms and audiences. The platform pulls information from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, and other major services, presenting it in dashboards and reports. You can track chart positions, streaming numbers, fan growth, and social media engagement. The free tier gives you basic access to your own music analytics, whilst paid plans offer more detailed insights, competitor analysis, and features for managing multiple artists.
