Viewing your music’s stats

To view stats for a song or release in Spotify for Artists, search for the artist on that song/release, then go to their Music tab.

Tip: On the Spotify for Artists mobile app, tap the avatar in the top-right, then scroll down to Search artists.

In the Music tab you only see data for songs and releases that your label owns.

Data in the Playlists and Audience tabs is aggregated and may include streams of songs that your label doesn’t own.

Note: It’s not possible to see an overview of your entire catalog.

Missing artists or music

The catalog you see in Spotify for Artists is based on the distributor and label names in the metadata of your releases.

If you can’t find an artist, song, or release in your catalog, it’s possible that your team’s catalog permissions are incomplete.

Editing artist profiles and pitching songs

Depending on your access level, you may be able to edit an artist’s profile and pitch their upcoming songs.

Note: Label team members can only edit an artist's profile if your label is responsible for that artist's latest or upcoming release.

Split rights

We often receive multiple versions of the same song, e.g. clean and explicit versions, single and album versions, or market-specific versions.

Each version has a unique track URI in the format spotify:track:

We group tracks with identical - or very similar - audio and metadata together into a recording group. In Spotify for Artists, we call this group a song.

We then determine your label’s level of access to a song:

• Full rights: Your label owns every track within the recording group.
• Split rights: Your label owns some but not all of the tracks within the recording group. These tracks are marked with a icon.
• No rights: Your label doesn’t own any of the tracks within the recording group. These tracks are greyed out in Spotify for Artists.

When you have split rights, you only see data for the tracks in the recording group that your label owns.

• My label owns 100% of the rights to this song. Why is it marked split rights?

  This typically means that another label has released this song on a compilation.

  If this isn’t the case and you’re sure your label owns 100% of the rights, contact us.

• My label has worldwide rights to this song. Why is it marked split rights?

  This is typically due to compilations or collaborations:

  • Another label has released this song on a compilation.
  • The song has multiple artists, and each artists has released the song through a different label.

• Takedowns and catalog acquisitions

  When determining rights, we only look at the tracks in the recording group that are currently live on Spotify.

  If all of your label’s tracks in the recording group have been taken down, you won’t have the rights to view that song’s historical stats.

  If your label has acquired the rights to a song and redelivered it, and the old label has removed all their versions, you’ll have full rights - including to historical data. If the old label’s versions are still live, the song will be considered split rights.

Artist teams

Artist teams are designed for artists and their managers.

We don’t grant label employees access to artist teams. If you want access to an artist team, ask the artist to invite you.
