As an artist it can be important to know who’s listening to your works of art. Pandora’s new Audience section takes artists on a deep dive into their fans new and old.

Pandora have just announced the addition of 2 new insights for their Next Big Sound Artist Profiles to take artists deeper into the audiences of their music. The new Pandora Audience section introduces insights into exactly how many times an artist’s music has been streamed and who the fans that are coming back for more and more are.

The new Pandora Audience page will feature two sections of analytics for artists to dive inside their listeners:

Unique Listeners: The number of people who heard any song by this artist on Pandora in the last month.

Streams: The total number of times a song is played anywhere on Pandora, across all tiers of service, encompassing both Pandora Radio Spins and Pandora Interactive Plays.

When artists check out their streaming data they will be presented with two graphs for streams and unique listeners showing clearly how much love their music is getting and how it compares over time. Pandora want artists to share how well they are doing with all around the world so for once they are making their Pandora Audience section publicly available to anyone with a Next Big Sound account.

Pandora note that this availability of streaming numbers will be a massive asset to the industry for venues, publicists, managers, labels, and more. It will provide an easy insight to the engagement and popularity of artists that they can use to sell themselves or figures can use to find artists they know have an audience. As well it can help labels and artists strategise releases and campaigns with knowledge of exactly how their actions reflect in listeners.
