The range of the results was not as big as in case of the listener/stream ratio for me (1.7 to 4.8), but nevertheless, it showed me certain things about some of my beats I didn't know (and didn't even expect)!Īnd this is pretty much all the extension can do for you, at least for now. With quite a self-explanatory name, it only shows you how many times did one unique user stream a given beat (in the average of course, the formula is "total streams / unique listeners). This second metric is more like just a little bonus I added after I finished my main goal. It's important to use the number of unique listeners there as using the total amount of streams would produce skewed results with extremely low percentages in some cases (and generally, it's only logical to have the save count related to the user rather than to the stream itself). The formula I'm using to get to this percentage is "saves / (unique listeners / 100)". Then it's up to you if you decide to use those data for your advantage (eg when choosing which tunes to pitch to playlists or push more on social media), or you will just check it out sometimes to see how your beats are doing compared to each other. It can give you some pretty interesting insights for your music catalog - I was quite surprised that some beats with low play counts I though nobody cares about much have actually very good listener/save ratio, whereas my by far most popular tune Pink Flamingo is barely touching 10%. This metric shows you the percentage of how many unique listeners who heard a certain tune saved the tune into their library or some playlist. However, it will show you two more interesting metrics you would have to crunch yourself otherwise Its functionality is quite basic (as the only data it can work with are those which are already present on the stats page) and it's a bit quirky sometimes as Spotify For Artists works on AJAX, therefore it's really tricky to catch the right moment when all the data gets loaded. So after a bit of reading, experimenting and tweaking (and a little bit of cursing, of course) I finally successfully managed to finish the first working version. Once I get excited over an idea, it usually escalates quickly - and so it did this time. The other day I was trying to work out the listener/save ratio of my tracks, counting it manually from the data on saves and unique listeners Spotify For Artists gives you, and when I crunched the numbers for good three dozens of tracks, an idea struck my mind - why not try to develop a Chrome extension, that would be doing it for me, automatically and effortlessly every time I open the stats page? As some of you may already know, I work as a frontend web developer and from time to time, I love to code myself some little fun side project when I get some interesting Idea.
