HighlightsBeatport’s Top 100 chart keeps highlighting the latest music in the club world, and today, we’re doing aSpecial artist deep-dive into a Norwegian producer who found streaming success in a far-off land called...SeattleMissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Friday March 29th 2019.ChartsBeatport.com is the go-to electronic music marketplace for professional DJs around the world so they can make people dance. With over 60K suppliers and labels, 450K customers and 35M unique annual visitors, Beatport is a B2B business at its core: providing high quality downloads so DJs can fill their sonic arsenal.It also provides a weekly Top 100 chart that essentially becomes an up-to-date soundtrack to what clubbers are getting down to globally.For the week ending March 22nd, “Inside My Head” by UK-based duo Audiojack took the #1 most purchased download for the second week in a row spending 10 days on the chart. Spinnin’ Records had the most tracks with 4, including a David Guetta and Tom Staar track, while legendary London-based Ministry of Sound Recordings had 2.While you may see some familiar Top 40 names such as Childish Gambino in the #3 spot or Calvin Harris & Rag’n’Bone Man at #5, the Beatport Top 100 is really an anti-pop serum: nearly half the chart’s tracks have 4-minute-plus run times, zero tracks directly releasing into the chart and nearly ⅔ of the list spending less than a week on the chart themselves...meaning lots of track turnover, and lots of opportunities for emerging artists with great dance music.Artist Highlight in the NewsHere’s an interesting case of streaming’s global nature at its finest: Norway-based house producer Simon Field found unexpected attention in Seattle upon the release of his track “Shake the Tree” on January 25th.Field, who sports a 53 Spotify Popularity Index score and 385K monthly listeners despite having only 10K followers, is an example of an emerging artist that organically over-indexes their stream count in a particular city for an unknown reason.Upon “Shake the Tree”’s release, it found a snug spot in the #62 position of the 90-track New Music Friday playlist for that week, which then seemed to feed playlist adds within 24 hours on no less than 20 mid-tier playlists ranging from 10 to 80K followers.While Sony-owned playlist curator Filtr UK’s “Dance All Night” was among these lists, Field had no major label support in the release, and yet from Feb 21st to March 20th saw a 455% increase in monthly listeners in Seattle, peaking at 7.4K.Virtually mirroring Field’s rise in Seattle however, a certain mid-tier playlist called “CloudKid” by the curator of the same name added “Shake the Tree” with 98K followers…..adding the track on Feb 16th, and removing it on March 21st, after which day Field saw an immediate decrease in Spotify listener growth in Seattle after a month long increase.Coincidence? Possibly, except for the fact that CloudKid is an influential electronic music label & curator who came up on YouTube, with a channel influencing 2.9M subscribers with over 906M total views.While the connection between Seattle and CloudKid’s audience is still unclear, the data suggests at the minimum an appreciation of mid-tier, five-digit follower count playlists helping propagate new music.And at its best, Field may have a unique case of cross-platform success where a veteran YouTube curator’s side hustle (or here, a Spotify playlist) gave an unknowing artist streaming success thousands of miles away.Playlist Round-Up (none)OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Friday March 29th 2019.

HighlightsJ Balvin and French rapper Ninho takeover Deezer’s Top Worldwide chartAtlanta artist Lil Nas X embodies a viral artist on the rise, and“Selección Editorial” is Deezer’s #2 most followed playlist MissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Thursday March 28th 2019.ChartsParis-based streaming platform Deezer updated its most-listened-to chart yesterday called Top Worldwide. It functions similar to a playlist, with 367K fans following the top tracks chart.Collecting streams from the 187 countries Deezer operates in, Top Worldwide has 100 tracks with French rap duo PNL in the #1 spot with “Au DD”, whose YouTube video released less than a week ago and has 21M views as of yesterday.Besides PNL, the rest of the top tracks looks quite familiar with Post Malone, Ariana Grande and Daddy Yankee all showing up in the top 10.Leading the Deezer chart with the most entries however, were two artists tied at six tracks each: Colombia’s J Balvin and France’s Ninho.Interestingly enough, both rappers’ got there in very different ways: J Balvin’s tracks were all multi-artist collaboration tracks either on someone else’s album or one-off singles, while the Congolese-French Ninho has six of 18 tracks off his new album release “Destin” (des-TAHN) getting its fair share of attention on Deezer.Artist Highlight in the NewsThe viral, genre-defying track “Old Town Road” by emerging Atlanta rapper Lil Nas X made news on Tuesday when Rolling Stone reported that Billboard removed the country-themed trap song from its Hot Country Songs chart.Loaded social issues aside, Lil Nas X’s music data profile at this moment is a fascinating study in what viral status looks like.With only 19K Spotify followers, he has managed to pull 5.7M monthly listeners, giving him an unworldly 300 listener to follower ratio.Currently on Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits playlist in the #12 spot and Apple Music’s Top 100: Global playlist in the #1 spot, Lil Nas X has managed grow a total playlist follower reach of 314K just one month ago, to a playlist follower reach over 55M.In only the past ten days, he’s more than doubled his Instagram follower count to 92K, so Billboard Country chart or not, this cowboy sure won’t be by his lonesome.Playlist Round-Up “Selección Editorial” is currently the #2 Deezer playlist on the platform at 6.6M fans. It’s ran by their editorial team in México, who typically change the tracks on Saturday.This week, there’s 149 tracks with “pop”, “Latin”, “tropical”, “reggaetón” and “edm” being the most common genre tags.The current artist roster surprisingly is 43% from the US and UK, with 29% of them from México, Puerto Rico, Spain and Colombia.Selección Editorial caters to frontline material, as ⅔ of the tracks were released within a week of its release, however it changes at a glacial pace: it’s 28-day add ratio is only 5%, meaning that in the last month only 5% of the playlist got refreshed with new tracks.Additionally, over 87% of its historical tracks lived there from one to six months, so while your new release has little chance of getting on Selección Editorial, the chosen few do get to spend quite some time on it.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Thursday March 28th 2019.

HighlightsTwo Egyptian artists top the SoundCloud New & Hot chart this weekTwenty One Pilots get announced as one of three headliners for San Francisco’s Outside Lands festivalApple Music’s “Best of the Week” playlist keeps things lively with 67 tracks in the US storefront  MissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Wednesday March 27th 2019.ChartsSoundCloud’s Top 50 weekly chart features what most Westerners would expect: a who’s who of the SoundCloud rap scene, what might not be expected is who’s on SoundCloud’s “New & Hot” weekly chart: half of the New & Hot Top 10 tracks are Egyptian.Sitting right alongside Western rappers like A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and NLE Choppa are two Egyptian artists: Tamer Ashour and Mohamed Ramadan. Singer and composer Ashour comes away with #1 trending track for this week with the soft ballad “Oloolo Samah” which was released six days ago on his latest album, while actor/rapper Mohamed Ramadan is in the #2 spot with his banger “Virus Song” where he channels a very familiar hip-hop machismo, rapping about how his flow is like a virus.The popularity of SoundCloud in Egypt is not entirely new: in February of last year, the Vulture covered the success of Hamza Namira’s “Dari Ya Alby” as a voice for the Arab Spring, to the tune of 67.5M SoundCloud plays.But this week, Ashour’s new album takes 4 of the top 10 spots, with Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock taking the #3 spot with “I Like Girls (feat. Lil’ Skies)”.Artist Highlight in the NewsColumbus, Ohio natives Twenty One Pilots got announced as headliners of the Outside Lands 2019 lineup in San Francisco this August, they’re top-lining the Bay area music festival with Paul Simon and Childish Gambino.“The Skeleton Clique”, which is the Twenty One Pilots fandom, must be prepping themselves for tickets sales tomorrow, and are likely behind the 14K daily new followers that the group regularly sees on Spotify. With just under 12.2M total followers, the two-man band is currently on 248 Spotify editorial playlists, 50 Apple editorial playlists, and 20 Deezer editorial playlists.About to kick off an 8-city Latin American tour including three dates on the Lollapalooza Global circuit, Twenty One Pilots will be busy visiting Buenos Aires, Santiago and São Paulo, surely riding a wave of YouTube success that levitated them to 3.8B YouTube views, which hopefully, is not stressing them out. #skeletoncliquePlaylist Round-Up Apple Music’s “Best of the Week” editorial playlist is billed as having “some of the world’s most exciting new music”.Updating every Friday, the US version currently has 67 tracks, with over 60% of them coming from American artists.The top five genre tags are pretty diverse: pop, Latin, reggaeton, tropical and indiepop.“Patience” by Aussie Tame Impala, “Tempo” feat. Missy Elliott by American Lizzo and “Te Robaré” by puertorriqueños Nicky Jam and Ozuna are a few of the tracks you’ll find on Best of the Week as of today if you’re in the US.47 of the 67 tracks on the list are at Echo Nest Energy ratings above 70 on a 100-point scale, meaning the curator (Apple Music Pop in this case) is working hard to keep the playlist tone lively.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Wednesday March 27th 2019.

HighlightsCountry rules the US iTunes charts yesterday with 38 track tagsDiana Ross celebrates her 75th birthday with over 102M YouTube viewsSouth Asia gets down with the leading Desi playlist, “Desi Hits” at 241K followersMissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Tuesday March 26th 2019.ChartsCountry fans love their downloads, or at least they did yesterday.On Monday for the United States storefront in the iTunes download marketplace, there were 38 tracks in the Top 200 list with the genre tag “country”.These genre tags are non-exclusive, meaning that a track can be tagged with multiple genres by Apple internally, but it makes quite the impression when the genre “pop” came in with 36 and “hip-hop/rap” at 32.The 38 country tracks are well-distributed across the 200, with the romantic ballad “Beautiful Crazy” by Luke Combs at the #13 spot.What’s interesting is despite the genre’s track influence on the iTunes chart, there are no country artists in the top 10 most frequently occuring artists. For example, Motley Crue had the most tracks on yesterday’s iTunes chart with 11, due to their Netflix biopic “The Dirt” releasing on Friday sparking nostalgia for some and curiosity for others.Or Queen continues to benefit from their five-month-old “Bohemian Rhapsody” biopic with 10 tracks still on the iTunes chart.But fear not, the #1 iTunes track yesterday actually was country: “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from yet another music film, A Star Is Born….it just got coded by Apple as “soundtrack”, and is just another quirk in the music data world.Artist Highlight in the NewsHappy birthday to American legend Diana Ross, who turns 75 years young today!Yesterday, Rolling Stone published news of her live concert film “Diana Ross: Her Life, Love and Legacy” releasing for only two days today and Thursday, showcasing her epic 1983 NYC Central Park show.Ross has healthy numbers in the streaming world, with a 68 Spotify Popularity Index rating, 792K followers and a steadily growing monthly listeners count at 4.2M, growing from 2.9M only a year ago.The ex-Supremes member is still rocking her Instagram account at 319K followers, posting lots of throwback footage and glamorous shots of own career, and mostly to fans her junior: over 126K IG followers are 18-24 and 97K are 25-34.Though Ms. Ross only sports 6K subscribers on YouTube, her long career of epic music has earned over 102M YouTube views, which, given her low amount of subscribers, shows how much active search and recommended video algorithms keep her music alive. Happy birthday, Miss Ross.Playlist Round-Up With Spotify’s recent launch in India about one month ago, attention is likely turning to the playlist “Desi Hits”, which is Spotify’s leading South Asian playlist at 241K followers.Growing followers at 6% over the past month, and changing about a quarter of its tracks every month, “Desi Hits” is the closest thing the platform has to the region’s version of “Today’s Top Hits”, which is at 22M followers.While “Desi Hits” obviously has some ground to make up for, keep in mind that India alone is home to over 374M smartphone users, and 1.3B people overall. For comparison, the US market has 251M out of 326M. Or better put, a market penetration rate of only 27% compared to the US’ 77%, showing lots of potential for growth in India.The playlist “Desi Hits” is dominated by the giant music and film company T-Series, with 35 of its tracks in the 86-track list coming underneath its banner. You may have heard of the company through its on-going YouTube subscriber battle with YouTuber PewDiePie, as T-Series is now within only 4K subscribers at 91,317,xxx subs.“Desi Hits” has virtually all of its tracks in the upper half of the Echo Nest Energy chart, promising lots of danceable beats coming from a set of artists who are 52% from India, but 20% from the UK due to the Indian diaspora.Whether looking for bhangra beats or Bollywood mega hits, “Desi Hits” likely has a lot of followers coming its way.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Tuesday March 26th 2019.

The Chinese tech conglomerate leverages QQ with its social network WeChat (which has over 1B users- that’s billion with a “b”) to provide the majority of its revenue in social media advertising, live-streaming virtual gifts and premium memberships along with traditional song sales and subscription-based revenue.QQ updates a 100-song Western music chart every week with their listeners’ most-streamed tunes, and Greyson Chance got 10 tracks off his newly-released 12-track album “portraits” on the list.The AWAL-backed crooner’s top 4 Spotify cities by monthly listeners are all in Asia, specifically Singapore, Quezon City in the Philippines, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.Not the only Westerner with an Asia-conscious strategy, the #1 spot on the same week’s QQ chart went to Bulgarian-Russian singer Kristian Kostov, who is currently competing in the Chinese TV singing competition series, 我是歌手, or translated, “I Am A Singer”. Artist Highlight in the NewsMusic Business Worldwide reported on Thursday last week that LA-based Billie Eilish racked up 800K plus album pre-adds on the Apple Music platform, showing a strong engagement with her audience looking forward to the March 29th release date.Looking at the phenom’s Instagram follower demographics as of last month, the majority of those pre-adds are likely are coming from American females under 25.Her IG handle, @wherearetheavocados, has likely racked up over 15M followers by the time you hear this, and has earned an average of 2.4M likes and 33K comments per post.A little over 73% of those followers are female, with 64% of them under the age of 25. 3.1M of the female followers fall into the 13-17 year old age range, while 5.3M of them are in the 18-24 range.Just over a third are based in the US, with New York City and LA being the two most popular, but São Paulo pulls into the #3 spot.Some of her notable IG followers are Kendall Jenner at 107M followers and Katy Perry at 77M, and maybe they’re among Eilish’s Apple album pre-adds as well!Playlist Round-Up “Les titres du moment” is the most followed playlist on Deezer, with 9.8M fans following the platform’s version of Today’s Top Hits on Spotify or Today’s Hits on Apple Music.The #2 Deezer playlist is “Selección Editorial” focusing on Latin content, but it’s far behind at 6.6M fans, leaving the top playlist lots of room to enjoy its leading status.“Les titres du moment”, or literally “Titles of the Moment”, currently sports 70 tracks that are mostly frontline-focused and featuring a 37% track add-ratio in the past month.Unlike other top playlists on other platforms, this playlist regularly adds and removes tracks throughout the week, mostly from Tuesday to Saturday.Almost ¾ of its historical tracks have remained on the list for one to six months, showing that it’s willing to host its more successful records for longer periods.Currently, the #1 spot goes to electronic-tinged Belgian singer-songwriter Angéle, the #2 spot to the UK’s Sam Smith & American Normani, and the #13 spot goes to Puerto Rico’s Daddy Yankee...so if you’re looking for an internationally-focused, multi-lingual top hits playlist to mix things up, look no further.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Monday March 25th 2019.

HighlightsMaluma and Metallica lead in Shazam chart presence in Mexico City yesterdayJay-Z’s album “The Blueprint” is missing from Spotify and Apple Music, but gets added to the US National Recording RegistryApple Music’s “This Week on the Voice” continues to refresh its catalog-focused playlistMissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Friday March 22nd 2019.ChartsColombian reggaeton artist Maluma and iconic American metal band Metallica find themselves in the same sentence for probably the first time in history, as both had two tracks in the Shazam Top Tracks chart for Mexico City yesterday.Shazam updates a 50-track chart daily for each city the music recognition app operates in, and the two artists led in having the most tracks in the short list.Maluma’s record “HP” which released last month on Feb 28th is accompanied by his collaboration with fellow Colombian Karol G on the romantic song “Creéme”, which released back in Nov 2018.However, that’s not quite as throwback as Metallica’s two tracks “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “Orion”, which respectively released in 1984 and 1986.Seeing such different tracks being Shazamed so much in various bars and clubs across Mexico City may come as a surprise, but then again, maybe to be expected from a cosmopolitan city that Spotify called last November the “World’s Music Streaming Mecca”.Artist Highlight in the NewsOn Wednesday, Brooklyn’s legendary rapper Jay-Z put another notch in his Yankee cap when his 2001 album “The Blueprint” got added to the US Library of Congress National Recording Registry, which designates "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" recordings in America.Despite the accolade, the classic album is missing from two of America’s biggest streaming platforms, Spotify and Apple Music, presumably due to Jay-Z’s involvement with the Tidal streaming service and its focus on exclusivity.So how does one track the Hov in the music data world? YouTube and terrestrial radio might work: Mr. Carter has 1.9M YouTube subscribers and over 678M total views on the platform, which for the past two years has shown a very consistent “weekend bump” pattern, and revealing one way in which his fans still consume his material. In the past month, his work week views would bottom out to about 1M daily views, while his weekend views would spring up to 1.3M. Terrestrial radio is another place, though Jiggaman might be surprised that his beloved New York City doesn’t play him the most in all of America. In the past six months, Detroit and Milwaukee have given Hov an average of 1435 radio spins, while NYC comes out to 1,056.Playlist Round-Up The American singing competition series “The Voice” is currently in its 16th TV season, and you might not know that the producers also maintain an Apple Music curator account aptly titled, “The Voice”.With it, they currently maintain 96 series-related playlists, with “This Week on the Voice” being its most long-running and maintained one.In the US Apple Music storefront, the playlist runs parallel with that week’s music performances. The curators usually add tracks over the weekend on Saturday, while the episodes this season have aired on Monday and Tuesday nights in America.A mostly catalog-focused playlist, it is that rare breed that also features a 100% track add ratio in the past month, due to its unique synchronicity with an ongoing TV series whose songs completely change on a weekly basis.The current track list runs as far back as 1967 with the Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody”, and as recent as last year with Luke Combs’ “Beautiful Crazy”.A mishmash of karaoke-worthy hits, be sure to add it to your Apple Music app if you want to re-live the episode all the way through to the weekend.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Friday March 22nd 2019.

HighlightsYNW Melly’s “Murder on my Mind” hanging strong in the #2 spot on the YouTube Tracks chart in the USNew York City-based producer Yaeji is announced as part of the 2019 Lollapalooza lineupSpotify’s “Rock Classics” playlist grows steadily at 3% in the past monthMissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Thursday March 21st 2019.Charts“Murder on my Mind”, a track from American rapper YNW Melly has been a mainstay on the recent YouTube Top Songs chart, which consists of 100 tracks that are updated every week.The Florida-based rapper released the YouTube video in Aug 2018, and it currently stands at 148M views, with 12.8M of them occurring for the week of March 8th to the 14th. It sits in the #2 spot on the Top Songs chart.This particular YouTube chart differentiates itself from the YouTube Top Music Video chart however, since tracks can also be uploaded by other users in what’s called user-generated content, or UGC. YouTube Content ID, the system that automatically detects audio, will then attribute any UGC views to the same track, which is why “Murder on my Mind” has 12.8M views on the Top Songs chart, and only 8.2M on the Music Video chart.Last month, news broke that Melly was arrested for murder charges in Miramar, Florida, which likely was a major factor in keeping the track popular in YouTube views, given its suggestive title and subject matter. “Murder on my Mind” continues a 29-week run on the Top Songs chart, which thus far peaked on February 20th.Artist Highlight in the NewsYesterday on Instagram, Lollapalooza announced its 2019 lineup, which will take place in Chicago’s Grant Park on August 1st to the 4th.On the official Lolla lineup poster, on 13th line down, is Queens-born, Brooklyn-based DJ/producer Yaeji, whose low-key banger “raingurl” is currently on 265 Spotify playlists and 59 Apple Music playlists.She is featured on Spotify’s “Soultronic” playlist, which has 130K followers, as well as one of Apple Music’s premiere “A-List” playlists, entitled “The A-List: New Artists”.Yaeji’s underground electronic sound has a smaller audience than some of her Lollapalooza peers, but it’s a loyal one: with 135K followers on Spotify, and 627K monthly listeners on the platform, that gives her a listeners to followers ratio of 4.6.So while Lolla headliner Ariana Grande has a 2.0 ratio and fellow headliner Childish Gambino has a 2.5 ratio, Yaeji’s 4.6 suggests her smaller fanbase seems to keep coming back for more listens...and will probably get some Lollapalooza tickets to boot.Playlist Round-Up Who says rock is dead? Spotify’s premiere rock genre playlist entitled “Rock Classics” hangs strong as the 11th most followed playlist on the platform at 5.3M followers.Over the past 28 days, it’s gained 164K followers (or 3%), recently passing up Hot Country in 12th place and hip-hop playlist Get Turnt in the 10th spot.Rock Classics is a personalized playlist, so the song selections and positions may differ on your profile, but you can find tracks the in the ballpark of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and home of one of the most iconic American guitar riffs, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns and Roses.The playlist tends to be energetic with the majority of the 150 tracks rating a 90 or higher in the 100-point Echo Nest Energy scale, so it should be good for parties and taking the car out for a spin.It’s obviously a catalogue-focused playlist, so don’t think of pitching any new music here, but if you work with classic repertoire, this might be one to shoot for before they update, which usually happens on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Thursday March 21st 2019.

Their top countries by YouTube views are also the same: Mexico, Colombia and Argentina. But according to their Instagram demographics, their gender split is the mirror opposite: ¾ of Karol G’s followers are female and ¼ male, while Anuel AA’s followers are ¾ male and ¼ female. And all that data adds up to a great way to pack their next stadium.Playlist Round-Up Deezer Music, the #5 most used streaming service worldwide by subscriber count, wedged between Tencent Music at #4 and Google at #6, is getting the Brazilian traction they wanted with several new playlists.“Vem pro Sertanejo” leads the pack with 48K new followers (or 4% growth) over the past month totalling at 1.2M, which highlights a popular domestic genre that loosely parallels the Brazilian version of American country music. “Funkadão”, a high-energy playlist focused filling dance floors, is the 2nd fastest growing playlist at 39K more followers than the last month, totalling at 1M. Serving as evidence that Deezer’s domestic repertoire-first approach is working there, Deezer’s third fastest growing playlist is “Sertanejo Apaixonado”, another sertanejo genre list with 6% follower growth in the past month, totalling 554K followers.According to Music Ally, a whopping ⅔ of the $90M streaming market in Brazil were subscription-based in 2016, so it looks like they’ve been onto something. OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Wednesday March 20th 2019.

HighlightsAriana Grande continues her month-long domination of the Spotify Top 200Jonas Brothers hit 20M Daily YouTube Views upon release of “Sucker”The Spotify playlist “Songs to Sing in the Car” eyes #5 top playlist with crazy follower growth rateMissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Wed March 13th 2019.ChartsThe track “7 rings” from American pop queen Ariana Grande continues to be the most played track globally on the Spotify Top 200.The trap-influenced flex track, since Jan 30th (12 days after release), has maintained the coveted 100 point score on the Spotify Popularity Index (or SPI). If you’re not familiar with SPI, check it out on our Help Page, but it’s a backend metric from Spotify that is applied to artists, tracks and albums to communicate popularity on their platform. It’s normalized between 0-100 and changes at least once daily.Bonus data point: In our RadioWave dataset, which aggregates 300 of most influential radio stations across the US, “7 rings” is most popular in San Francisco with 573 spins, Seattle next with 495 spins, and Chicago at 392.Artist Highlight in the NewsThe Jonas Brothers make their comeback with their release of their mid-tempo pop track “Sucker”, releasing their YouTube video on Feb 28th, which currently sits at 67M views.Debuting as a group in 2005, they now scored their first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with the new release. During the week prior to the video, the brothers had an average of 140-150K Daily YouTube Views across their repertoire...but once the “Sucker” video released, they hit a peak of 20.9M views in one day, adding to their cumulative YouTube views total to over 177M.Interestingly, on March 5th, Indian fans beat out the rest of the world in their love for the Jonas Brothers by showing a 29K% increase in YouTube views to 388K, and beating out the next country, which was the UK at 274K. It certainly doesn’t hurt that superstar Priyanka Chopra features in the video and married Nick Jonas last year.Playlist Round-Up If you’re a train commuter, you might not be aware, but Spotify’s #6 most followed playlist is “Songs to Sing in the Car”, at 7.5M followers.Made up of pop hits from Cardi B all the way back to Destiny’s Child, it is ahead of the #7 playlist, “All Out 2000s” at 5.9M followers, and nipping at the heels of “Baila Reggaeton” at 9.1M.However, “Songs to Sing in the Car” is growing at a voracious rate of 6% in the past 28 days, which comes out to about 439K followers per month.If Baila Reggaeton doesn’t raise its current monthly growth of 85K per month, then it will be overtaken by the car singalong playlist by August 2019.Pro tip: “Songs to Sing in the Car” is a personalized playlist that shuffles rank and song selection for each individual Spotify user, so what you see in your playlist, might differ from your buddy’s.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Wed March 13 2019.
