Spotify continues to enhance its artist dashboard with tools designed to give creators deeper insight into their audience and performance. The latest updates — including expanded mobile analytics, location insights, home-screen metrics, and audience growth tracking — help artists understand who is listening, where, and how that audience evolves over time.
Here’s what’s new and why it matters.
- Audience Segments Now Available on Mobile; One of the most requested features has arrived: audience segmentation is now accessible on the Spotify for Artists mobile app.
Previously, detailed audience data — such as fan engagement breakdowns and listener behavior clusters — was only available on desktop. With this update, artists and managers can now:
- View fan segments on the go
- See engagement trends directly from a phone or tablet
- Use audience insights while touring, collaborating, or planning releases
Mobile access makes it easier than ever to stay connected with your fanbase, wherever you are.
- Monthly Active Listeners: Know Where Your Fans Are; Spotify for Artists now shows where your monthly active listeners are located — a major improvement for global strategy planning.
This means:
- Precise geographical breakdowns for listeners tuning in over the past month
- Ability to identify core markets and rising regions
- Insights that can influence touring plans, marketing spend, and promotional focus
Whether you’re an emerging artist or a seasoned pro, knowing where listeners actively engage with your music empowers more effective decisions.
- Enhanced Metrics on the Spotify for Artists Home Screen; The artist dashboard home screen has received a design and data boost — offering key performance metrics at a glance.
Instead of diving deep into separate tabs, artists can now quickly see:
- Recent listener trends
- Top tracks by performance
- Notable changes in engagement
- Immediate indicators of how releases are performing
This streamlined overview helps artists stay informed without the need for analysis paralysis.
- Track Audience Growth Over Time; Perhaps the most exciting update for long-term planning is the ability to track audience growth over time.
With this feature, artists can now:
- See how fan numbers have increased (or shifted) across weeks, months, or years
- Identify spikes tied to campaigns, playlist additions, or releases
- Make data-driven decisions about timing future drops
This historical perspective moves analytics beyond simple counts, offering narrative context that can shape strategy.
What This Means for Artists
Collectively, these updates signal a major shift in how artists can use Spotify data:

| Audience Segments on Mobile | Insights on the go, wherever you work |
| Location of Monthly Active Listeners | Smarter touring & marketing strategy |

Whether you’re a DIY artist or a touring act supported by a team, these analytics enhancements make it easier to understand your audience holistically and in real time.
