The Data Behind the BET Awards 2019-06-25 · 04:00 Sho Madjozi – guest , Rutger – host @ Chartmetric , Mary J. Blige – guest , Burna Boy – guest , Lizzo – artist , Nipsey Hussle – guest HighlightsSunday’s BET Awards had winners, losers, and everything in between. Here’s the data behind the biggest moments. Mission Good morning, it’s Rutger 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, June 25, 2019.The Data Behind the BET AwardsNow that the dust has settled from Sunday’s BET Awards, let’s look at the data behind the ceremony’s bright spots.One of the evening’s most special moments happened when the award for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist went to Nipsey Hussle, who died tragically on March 31 in Los Angeles. The rapper also received the Humanitarian Award, which his grandmother graciously accepted.While Nipsey’s star was already on the rise before the tragedy, immediately following the news of his death, fans undeniably pushed his work onto the world stage, bumping him from an estimated 2.2 million monthly Spotify listeners to an April 26 peak of an estimated 11.8 million monthly Spotify listeners.His posthumous feature with John Legend on DJ Khaled’s “Higher” continues to make its presence known on Apple Music’s African and Caribbean Top 100 playlists, in addition to Hip-Hop A-List playlists as well.Speaking of, this year’s Best International Act Award went to Nigeria’s Burna Boy and the Best New International Act Award went to South Africa’s Sho Madjozi.Burna Boy is currently on 21 Best of the Week Apple Music playlists around the world, and he also finds himself at the top of Spotify’s Hot Hits UK, African Heat, and Afro Hits playlists.Sho Madjozi, meanwhile, only finds herself on four editorial playlists on Spotify but on six Best of the Week Apple Music playlists throughout Africa and a number of Top 100 Apple Music playlists in various African countries.While she’s largely regional now, Madjozi’s BET recognition indicates a growing potential for overseas visibility.Now, can we talk about how much Mary J. Blige and Lizzo owned the stage?Blige is a living R&B/hip-hop legend, and her performance on and off that stage proved it.Instead of losing followers and listeners as her music ages, she continues to gain them.In 2016, Blige’s followers sat just under 500K, but today, she’s at an estimated 1.9 million on Spotify.While the change hasn’t been quite as drastic for her monthly listenership, her shrinking listener to follower ratio and her growing follower conversion (she’s gaining at least 1K Spotify followers daily) indicates she’s still got it.Her YouTube views bolster this point by sporting a strong “weekend bump” every Friday through Sunday, suggesting people still party down with the queen of hip-hop soul.Lizzo meanwhile, can apparently twerk and play the flute all at once, but she’s got a ways to go when it comes to follower conversion.Unlike Blige’s 3:1 listener to follower ratio, which makes sense given the longevity of her career, Lizzo’s is at 36:1, meaning 17.5 million people might be listening to her a month on Spotify, but if she wants Blige’s longevity, her 500K followers are going to have to start snowballing to catch up.A high ratio for an emerging artist is usually a promising sign, however, so Lizzo has plenty to look forward to.All numbers and names aside, the real winner here was the awards ceremony itself.

2019-05-20 // New Music Friday Monday: Amazon’s Brand New Music playlist 2019-05-20 · 04:00 Jason Joven – host @ Chartmetric HighlightsAmazon Music’s Brand New Music playlist features a few new Friday releases similar to Spotify and Apple, we’ve got the quick rundown for youMission Good 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 Monday May 20th 2019.New Music Friday Monday: Amazon’s Brand New Music playlistIt’s New Music Friday Monday and we’re looking at Amazon’s Brand New Music playlist that updated on Friday before the weekend.Brand New Music is essentially the tech giant’s version of Spotify’s New Music Friday, currently featuring 70 tracks from big stars to legacy acts to up and comers.In the #1 playlist position is the DJ Khaled’s latest track featuring John Legend and the late Nipsey Hussle on “Higher”. Halsey’s “Nightmare” pulls up in the #2 spot while The Black Keys make their comeback with the new single “Go”, coming into the #3 position.The three major labels have the most singles on the list this week, with UMG having 14, Sony at 11 and Warner Music at 7. However, there is no shortage of independent labels on the list either, with 4AD, 300 Entertainment and AOMG all representing with one track each.Genre-wise, about 30% of the playlist’s tracks feature the “pop” genre tag, the most out of all genres, with Madonna, Mark Ronson and Charli XCX feat. Lizzo in that group. “Hip-hop/rap” takes 2nd place with another 20% of the list’s sound with none other than Wu-Tang Clan debuting a new record to accompany their recently-released Showtime documentary series.EDM and rock have 6 and 5% of the tracks respectively to round things out, with Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum and Maddie & Tae contributing to the “country” genre tags for a total of 4% of the list.Brand New Music’s artists this week are mostly from English-speaking countries, almost 85% of it, which fits in nicely with the fact that 72% of the smart speaker market last year was solely based in the US and the UK.Between Spotify’s top 10 tracks on the New Music Friday and Brand New Music’s top 10, only 4 of the tracks overlap, coincidentally in the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 7th position.And if we throw in Apple Music’s equivalent playlist- Best of the Week- we have the 1st and 2nd position in common with the other two.So if you pulled up all three Global Release Day playlists on any of the platforms, you’re guaranteed to hear DJ Khaled and then Halsey, in that order.In all three, you’ll also end up hearing Lana Del Rey’s Sublime cover of “Doin’ Time” before you hit track 6.There seems to be some slight experimentation going on: for example, you’ll hear Tyler the Creator on all platforms, but his track “WHAT’S GOOD” on Spotify and Amazon, while hearing “EARFQUAKE” on Apple.On the Latin front, Colombian rapper Maluma debuts a purely Spanish track “11 PM” on Amazon, while he shows off both Spanish and English vocals on another track, “Tu Vecina (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)” on Apple Music.Check out some of these interesting playlist differences for yourself before this Friday comes around!OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Monday May 20th 2019.

2019-04-02 // Apple Music Top Songs chart, NAV on the Billboard 200 album chart and Spotify's "mint" playlist series 2019-04-02 · 04:00 Jason Joven – host @ Chartmetric HighlightsLil Nas X, Billie Eilish and Nipsey Hussle top the Apple Music Top Songs chart yesterdayPunjabi-Canadian rapper NAV rules the Billboard 200 album chartRegional mint playlists tap the dance floors around the worldMissionGood 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 April 2nd 2019.ChartsApple Music’s Top Songs chart yesterday was dominated by three narratives: the viral psuedo-country hit by Lil Nas X, Billie Eilish’s new album “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?” and the untimely shooting death of LA rapper Nipsey Hussle.Of the Top 100 songs that charted, LA-based Billie Eilish came away as the most frequently occuring artist on the chart at 16 tracks total. Two of her older songs “lovely” and “Idontwannabeyouanymore” joined all 14 of her new album’s tracks in an impressive show of force on Apple Music.Atlanta rapper Lil Nas X, still managed to take the #1 spot on Apple’s Top Songs chart yesterday, probably in part thanks to the Billboard country chart controversy. Released on Apple only since March 13th, it’s already spent 10 days on the Top Songs chart.Finally, the work of LA artist and community activist Nipsey Hussle, after his fatal shooting in front of his clothing store in South Los Angeles, experienced a surge in listening.Six of Nipsey’s tracks, including collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Puff Daddy, made it into the Top 100 songs chart from positions 18 to 76. Five of those were from his last 2018 album “Victory Lap”, which was Grammy-nominated for Best Rap Album.Nipsey was 33 years young. May he rest in peace.Artist Highlight in the NewsPunjabi-Canadian rapper and producer NAV nabbed his first #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart announced on March 31st.The Toronto-native, who has tracks with The Weeknd, Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert, also has 1.2M Spotify followers and 8.9M monthly listeners, giving him a very impressive listener to follower ratio of 7.This bodes well for NAV since this suggests repeated listening despite having a relatively lower follower count.NAV’s hometown of Toronto takes fourth place in his most listened-to cities on Spotify, though his rap sound resonates most stateside: namely LA, Chicago, and Dallas. His Instagram at 1.5M followers is growing at approximately 2.8K daily.His follower base is currently ¾ male and very strong in the 18-24 age range, with Nicki Minaj, Drake and WorldStarHipHop being among his most notable IG followers.If you want to check out NAV’s work, you can find him in the #42 slot on Today’s Top Hits with his track “Price on My Head” (feat. the Weeknd).Playlist Round-Up If you’re into electronic music, surely you already know about Spotify’s mint playlist at 5.4M followers and the 9th most followed playlist.But do you know about mint Latin? Or mint Canada, mint BR (Brazil), or mint India?Mint Latin for example has 1.8M followers and features “the new wave of Latin Electronic producers and DJs”. It currently has 50 tracks and an average track popularity score of 42 out of 100.If 42 sounds a little low, our Jan 2018 Medium article on the mint playlist discussed how dance music exists in a different space that is more about the hours-long mix, making any single artist or track, well, not as important.Surely this is made clear as mint Latin is a pre-mixed playlist just like its big brother: meaning if you listen from one track to another, a DJ has already made smooth transitions to give you one singular listening experience.So if you’re looking for a frontline-oriented playlist featuring dance sounds from certain regions of the world, look no further.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Monday April 2nd 2019.
