If your music is on Spotify you got sent and end of the year recap about how many people listened to your music this year, which song was most popular, even which day your music was listened to the most in 2019. And a bunch of other stuff complete with really hip graphics.
It’s pretty cool. Numbers are fun.
Right now its especially fun because you’ve only seen your own numbers. And your numbers plus cool graphics makes you feel good. It helps you focus on and celebrate what you have done.
BUT…
Starting tomorrow lots of artists are going to post their numbers. And then it’s different. You’ll be able to compare numbers. Which helps you focus on what you haven’t done.
You decide how to read.
***These end of year numbers can actually be very helpful. It’s way more information and metrics than is available through the Spotify artist portal most of the time. I’d love to see this much information be available to artists and their teams everyday. What say you, Spotify?
