Recent Updates to Chartmetric
🗞️ In the News
We've added "In The News," which aggregates press about an artist so you can easily see which publications have mentioned them recently. We pull our data from 61 distinct news sources on a daily basis. For example, for Khalid we show up to 100 recent articles that mention him, ranging from sources such as Rolling Stone, Variety, The New York Times, Pitchfork, Complex Magazine, and many others. Now you can get all your news in one place!
Artists' Gender and Pronouns
As part of our company's broader initiative to raise awareness about gender equity and equality in the music industry, we've introduced Gender and Pronouns into artist profiles. Developing this new database was a highly nuanced process, but we are proud to now have 454,445 pronoun-differentiated artists. Read more about our process and initiative here.
Moreover, we offer an easy way for anyone to submit a request to update this information. Help us get things right!
🎵 TikTok Country Charts
We've made TikTok Country Charts available on the global Charts tab, as well as on each Artist Page > Charts section. You can now get a sense of what's trending in each location and build more personalized and effective social strategies.
📸 Instagram Audience: Brand Affinity and Interests
We added a new "Audience Interests" section, which analyzes an artist's IG followers' post captions, @mentions, #hashtags, and location tags, thereby calculating their likelihood of interest in certain topics (or in the case of Brand Affinity, specific brands.) Also new, instead of displaying Brand Affinity and Interests as percentages, we are showing them as multipliers. All of this can help you determine the best brand partnerships and advertising opportunities.
📈 Cross Platform Performance (CPP) Improvement
CPP is our proprietary metric we use to rank artists across all streaming and social platforms. Read more about it here. It's an extremely powerful, though new, metric and we've now made it even more useful. We added CPP Rank by genre and subgenre to the About Artist Summary section. This breakdown can give you a better sense of where your artist stands among peers, not just globally.
