With over 75 million users and 1.7 billion hours of listening each month which adds up to 20 billion listening hours a year (and growing), Spotify has the largest, most engaged audience in the world. This high level of fan engagement opens up a big opportunity for artists to understand their fans more deeply. We’re constantly looking for ways to bring artists and fans closer together and we’ve worked closely with artists and their teams to understand the most useful insights we can provide. Fan Insights helps artists better understand:

• Who their fans are, including demographic information.
• Where their listeners are in the world and how this audience is evolving and growing over time.
• How their fan base is listening and their other music preferences.
• The level of passion and engagement of fans and how these behaviours differ between passionate and casual listeners.

We’re excited to get additional feedback from more artists as we continue improving the product. Our ultimate goal is to help artists make more informed decisions about how to establish meaningful connections with their audience. We’re just getting started. The limited beta of Spotify For Artists is rolling out today on desktop computers and a basic version is available on mobile. We have plans to open up broader access in the coming months; artists interested in learning more can request access here.
