Musicmetric rank

The Musicmetric rank is calculated by aggregating and averaging all the data for the artist, and comparing it to all the other artists in our database. This gives you an idea of how your artists match up, both in the global market, and to each other.

The Musicmetric rank updates daily, and the previous day’s rank is displayed below today’s number.

Category overviews

There is also an overview page for each of the three dashboard headings:

• Social Media
• File Sharing
• Mentions

These pages display a more in-depth overview of a particular metric category. For example, the Social Media overview includes charts showing fan age and gender distribution, a time series of social network plays, and a map of online fan location:
