Key Metrics Labels Analyze
-Monthly listeners and streams on platforms like Spotify &
Apple Music.

-Playlist placements on major curated playlists (New Music
Friday, RapCaviar, etc.).
Fan engagement—how often people comment, share, and
interact with your music.

Pro Tip:
Get your music featured on playlists to increase streams.
Encourage fans to save and share your songs—it boosts
algorithmic visibility.

Live Performance Ability
With the decline of traditional album sales, live performances
are more important than ever. Labels want to sign artists who
can sell out shows and deliver unforgettable live experiences.
