How to see your top Listeners and Fans on Spotify

Best Websites to Check Your Top Listeners on Spotify
There are multiple options for artists and spotify users to check their progress and stats using different third party options. I will mention a few of those:
Stats for spotify:
It is a free website which can help you to see your top songs, listeners and artists. You will have to connect your Spotify account with this site for seeing important stats. Once you have connected your account with the site it will import important data from your account history to show you.
Spotontrack:
This is another option for you to see your Spotify stats including top listeners and their geographical details along with their engagement stat. It has both free and premium plans for users.
Followerwonk:
this website can be used to cross reference your twitter followers and Spotify listeners to find the top Spotify listeners. Generally speaking, it is a tool for seeing Twitter stats but it can also be used for Spotify.
WhoSampled app:
“My top Fans” feature of this app can help you in getting what you are looking for. This app works by exploring the interconnection of different music tracks and artists. Once you connect your Spotify account with it then you will be able to use its “My top fans” feature.
Fan Insights app:
this app will provide with the detailed analytics for different musicians. It has multiple features like top listeners, demographic metrics, and engagement stats. You will need to have a CD baby account for using this app.
Public playlists on Spotify
You can make a public playlist on Spotify and share it with the public. You can guess who are listening to your playlists by looking at the playlist followers. This method is not much accurate and the reason is that some people may follow your playlist without listening to your tracks.
Ask your listeners
If you have small number of fans on Spotify then you can ask your fans directly by running a campaign to “Ask your listeners”. The other option is to make a poll on Spotify to collect informational insights. You can create a poll by accessing the interact tab on Spotify.
Discover What Percent of Listeners You Are on Spotify
Spotify only shows you the number of plays and listeners for each track but it does not give any option to see what percentage of listeners they are for a specific track or artist. However, you should not worry because there are number of ways to guess your position on Spotify:
- Number of streams: it’s easy to see how many times a song or artist has been streamed on spotify. If there is a huge number e.g in millions then you can assume that this track or artist has more listeners percentage.
- Popularity score can be helpful: Another option which can be used to see how much popular a track is going on Spotify. Spotify shows popularity score in front of song name or artist name. This score is counted on the basis of number of streams and recent plays.
- Spotify charts: you can check Spotify charts for top tracks and artists. These charts are shown weekly in various countries. If you are listening to an artist who is in the chart then you can assume to be the part of large community who has big listeners percentage on Spotify.
How to find Top Listened Songs and artists on Spotify and Improve Your progress
Experiment newly released tracks:
Experiment with the new releases that align with the preference of your listeners. You can test different lyrics, genres and tracks to see what resonates and gives better results. I think a guess based on data is more valuable than making random guesses.
Make a comparison test:
You can run a comparison test using charts and playlists stats on Spotify to compare your top listened songs and tracks in your genre with other artists.
Demographic report:
Spotify for artists feature again: once you have made an account as an artist on Spotify then you can claim hidden stats using this feature and easily trace your progress.
Check the trends:
You can analyze the Spotify data to see the trends. For example, certain lyrics and genres perform well when compared to others. You can use such information to tailor your future releases.
