Product Updates

You asked, we delivered — our genre system just got a major upgrade! 🎶

After extensive research and expert input, we’ve added 103 new subgenres, bringing the total to 18 main genres and 229 subgenres. We also revamped the existing genre structure to better reflect today’s music landscape, standardizing the wild variety found across DSPs.

What does this mean for you?
• Easier discovery of trending music within your genre of interest
• A clearer path to uncovering emerging artists in niche or hybrid genres

Plus, we’ve made the genre filter on the Artist Chart more intuitive:
No more picking a main genre first — now you can freely combine any genre or subgenre with just one click.

We’re excited to launch the Weekly Track Insights Report — a new weekly email that keeps you updated on the performance of all the tracks you follow. 

Each report highlights key changes in your tracks’ channel metrics across Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, and more. You’ll see detailed updates on Spotify streams, active playlists, YouTube view growth, TikTok trends, and a summary of your latest playlist adds on Spotify and Apple Music. It also includes a breakdown of YouTube view distribution and trends over the last 7 and 30 days.

This report helps you stay on top of every important movement, spot growth trends early, celebrate wins, and react quickly to new opportunities across platforms — making it easier than ever to manage and grow your music presence.

We’re taking artist tracking to the next level! Users have already been able to follow artists and get their data synced daily. Now, with Artist Lists, you can create custom lists and add artists to one or multiple lists for easy monitoring.

With Artist Lists, you can:
✅ Group artists into multiple custom lists for better organization
✅ Filter the main artist chart using your lists for focused insights
✅ Easily export data in CSV/PDF format for any custom list

When comparing artists, you can now choose between two options: you can still use the Performance Report to compare the social media and streaming stats of any two artists, or you can use the new Trend Tracker feature to compare performance trends of up to five artists. The comparison can be done in three different timeframes (1 month, 3 months and 12 months) using different metrics, such as Spotify streams, YouTube views, TikTok likes, radio spins, and more.

You'll find the Trend Tracker option at the top of the Compare Artists page.

Our Artist PDF reports got super comprehensive!

We made PDF reports even more informative. Chart positions are now followed by a general career health overview, top tracks and videos, yearly Viberate Rank trend, fanbase breakdown, individual DSP and social media channel stats, engagement, lists of top tracks by streams and video views, audience geo-location and demographic info, playlist analytics, social media content performance, radio airplay stats and live performance overview.

Updated PDF reports provide an instantly available, easily understandable, comprehensive and shareable overview of an artist’s performance that can be used as an effective pitching tool for bookings, signings, collabs, or brand partnerships.

We’ve upgraded our Label Analytics!

We’ve completely revamped our Label pages. A general, Spotify-based overview is followed by a list of signed artists and track performance, accompanied by Beatport stats.

You can now monitor Spotify streams, identify top signed artists and check geographic distribution of a label’s audience.

Under the Artists tab, you can find all signed artists and sort them by their Spotify stats, and under the Tracks tab, you can monitor track performance and compare tracks by different parameters.

Our Weekly Reports on your followed artists are not reserved only for account holders anymore!

Now you can add two more report recipients that will be receiving the same weekly reports as you.
You can add the recipients in the Notifications tab of your General Settings.

We've made it easier to explore our Festival Pages. They're still accessible through our one-of-a-kind Festival Chart, but all Festival details, including analytics, can now be monitored on one single page. 

No need to switch tabs - now you can check out the current lineup, genre distribution, YouTube and social media performance together with festival highlights and amenities. 

Our artist page got a new tab for an artist’s events.

It contains both past and upcoming events that you can filter by type (events, festivals), country, venue type, and size.

You can find the events tab in the right side dropdown menu of every artist page. If events are important to you, move it to the main navigation bar by customizing your shortcuts.

We’ve made access to city level analytics much easier.

Now you can aces city pages through our new dedicated landing page, or just use our main search bar.

No matter how you get there - our city pages will equip you with loads of insightful information about the city’s music scene.

We’re expanding our entities list to playlists! From now on, each playlist will have its own detailed analytics page. 

A general playlist overview is followed by playlist followers growth, its audience geolocation, the distribution of labels, track and artist stats, and tracks currently on the playlist.

Playlist analytics is extremely useful to identify and analyze playlists worth targeting, and to assess an artist via their playlist placements.

You’re now able to find playlist pages via Search or the Playlist Chart.

To expand our database and at the same time provide faster sync times, we developed a system that allows you to follow artists and tracks to get their daily refreshed stats straight to your home dashboard. This enables you to get the most accurate data as fast as possible and keep all the relevant entities in one place.

Follow artists or tracks by clicking the Follow For Daily Sync button. You’ll find your followed entities under the My Artists and My Tracks sections. To get access to all your followed entities, head to your Home dashboard by clicking the icon at the very top of the navigation bar.

We've moved our main navigation to the side, which makes access to all our pages and features even easier.

You’ll find your followed entities in the top part, and all our entity sections below. To get access to all your followed entities, click on the Home icon at the very top of the navigation bar.

We've updated our Track pages. Like with our other entity pages, you can now get all the relevant information in one place.

Daily track engagement is followed by all-time track stats, Spotify playlists info, Youtube views and likes, and radio spins.

This update makes track monitoring easier and more efficient. If you require more detailed track stats, follow the track by clicking the Follow For Daily Sync button.

By providing a Spotify link, users can now get stats for any track available on Spotify within 15 minutes. 10 requested tracks are included in the Premium plan, with the option of purchasing additional credits.

You can find the track submission form on your Home dashboard or the Track Chart. When the sync is complete, you’ll be able to view the requested tracks on your Home dashboard. The stats for requested tracks will refresh daily.

This highly requested feature is still in development, with several updates to it launching in the near future.

Since there were quite a few different sections dealing with Fanbase and Engagement on our Artist Overview, we’ve decided to make things clearer by replacing those with a brand new section called Engagement and Fanbase Metrics.

The first part of the section allows you to focus on either an artist’s Fanbase or its Engagement by toggling the button in the top left corner. You can also narrow down on a specific time period by changing the chart’s timeframe. By hovering over the chart, you can get a detailed view of the fanbase size or engagement at a specific point in time.

The second part now displays Fanbase and Engagement metrics for different channels and in different timeframes. Each chart is accompanied by a few key metrics.

You can now identify trending tracks in a specific country based on Viberate rank, Spotify streams and Youtube views.
This feature is extremely useful to anyone looking for trending music for their content, such as playlist curators and TikTok, Youtube or Twitch content creators. It also helps A&Rs to easily spot locally trending tracks before they hit the global stage.

To make Viberate easier to comprehend, we've put together useful tutorials that will take you all around the website, explain individual features and help you perform role-specific tasks.

The tutorials displayed on your Home dashboard are selected according to your role, but you can always access all of them by navigating to the Tutorials section, or by clicking the question mark icon in your primary navigation tab.

A new section is available on the Artist Overview tab. Engagement Rate Comparison compares the artist's engagement to the industry average.

The section provides an insight into how the artist is doing compared to other similar artists in terms of engagement, which is undoubtedly one of the most relevant metrics. 

You can find the section by scrolling down the artist's Overview tab.

Artist Overview just got two new sections, namely Active Playlists and Artist’s Labels.

Active Playlists shows playlists currently featuring the artist and their reach, featuring top 5 playlists. Section is available for both Spotify and Apple Music.

Artist’s Labels section displays top 5 labels the artist has released on in the selected timeframe, together with the streams the tracks generated.

You can find both sections by scrolling down the artist’s Overview tab.

Signed to a Label filter, that was previously only available on the Artist Chart, is now also available on the Tracks Chart.

You can filter out tracks released by major labels, bigger indie labels and those released by a small indie or self-released.

We just launched Viberate for Artists! 🥳

Knowing artists often have very different data needs, we developed a product aimed directly at them. 

Viberate for Artists enables the latter to connect their first-party data sources, such as Spotify and Apple Music for Artists, and monitor their streaming stats together with social media stats already featured on Viberate Analytics.

Additionally, they can pitch their tracks for reviews and playlist placements and use their ready-made website.

Viberate for Artists is a budget-friendly alternative that focuses on the artist’s own stats and gives them all the information they need to advance their career.

We’ve upped our Spotify playlist game! 

We’re now tracking over 11M playlists. 
We’ve also updated the entire tab, which now includes the Adds & Drops section, that allows you to monitor the adds and drops to and from playlists on a daily basis. We’ve also added a Playlist Curators section - the list of curators that have featured the artist on their playlists.

No more plowing through search history - we brought it straight to the search field.

The expanded search field now features all your recently viewed entities.

To make filtering artists easier for the avid Spotify users, we’ve added genre filters corresponding to Spotify genres. 

However, if those are a tad too much for you, you can still use our proprietary genre filters.

We're now analyzing the artist's industry network in our brand new Network Tab. 

It’s now showing the artist’s network by top countries and genres, artist connections by popularity, notable followers, top industry mentions on social media, top music and label collaborations, artist’s biggest events and festivals, as well as the artists they were performing with.

The Network Tab is located in the in the “Templates” drop-down list in the top right corner of the Artist Page.

Finally, we’ve brought in THE feature a lot of you were asking for.

You can now filter artists on our Viberate Chart by the “Signed to” filter. You can filter out artists signed to major labels, bigger indie labels and those that are either signed to a small indie or unsigned.

This feature is especially useful for A&Rs.

*** This feature is still in beta and is currently available to our Premium users. After the test period, this feature will be a part of our higher-tier offer.***

The Audience tab on our artist pages now contains a Notable Followers module, where you can see the artist’s top followers on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

These are not limited to artists, but also include labels, other music industry entities, brands, and other notable individuals.

Knowing who the artist’s notable followers are can provide a guidance for future partnership within and beyond the music industry.

Next to the comparison of an artist’s tracks available on their artist pages, you can now compare tracks from different artists.

After searching for tracks of interest, you can refine the chart by defining the timeframe and channel metrics. You can temporarily hide tracks from the chart by clicking the eye icon or delete them completely by clicking the x.

You can access the track comparison chart through the Compare dropdown located on the far right of the main navigation tab, or by scrolling down through your Home dashboard.

Last but not least, venues too got their publicly available pages.

Next to all its basic info, such as location, opening hours and contact information, a venue page contains a gallery of venue's photos, a list of its highlights, an overview of its past and upcoming events, and a list of artists who performed there recently.

Venue pages are connected to Viberate's database and thus updated automatically. Venue owners and managers can use these neatly designed pages as a quick presentation of their venues or even to replace their traditional websites.

By popular demand, we added the option to export CSVs to several modules on different tabs of the artist page.

On the overview tab, you can now export CSVs of the artist’s Total Fanbase Distribution and Daily Fanbase Growth and Engagement. On the Spotify tab, you can export the Spotify Overview data, Streams, Follower Growth and Popularity, Monthly Listeners vs Followers data and Monthly Listeners by City and Country. You can also export Audience Overview data and Audience by Country and City from the Audience tab, as well as Active Playlists and Top Tracks on Playlists from the Apple Playlists tab.

Data can be exported by clicking the Export CSV icon located in the top right corner of each module.

Our Venue Chart is no longer displaying just the venues in your selected city, but now contains all venues in our database.

To narrow down your selection, you can now filter the venues by country and city. You can still use all other existing filters such as venue type and capacity, as well as the predominant genre of events held there.

As all our other entities, Events also got their publicly available pages. 

An Event page contains all relevant info, such as date, time and location of the event, ticket availability, venue information and highlights.

Every artist on the lineup is equipped with their own card containing their basic info.

It features genre’s biggest starts and hottest artists, most streamed Spotify tracks overall and in the past month, most watched YouTube videos, artists with the most radio spins, top Spotify playlists, genre’s signature festivals and a visualization of genre’s geographic popularity.

Genre pages can be shared with anyone and can be used wherever a demonstration of the state of music in a specific genre is needed.

You can now compare the performance of the artist’s tracks over time in one graph. The “Compare Tracks” section enables a simple way of replicating good practice. You find it in the artist’s “Overview” or Tracks” dashboard.

HOW TO USE IT: See which track was the most successful and assess the promotional efforts behind it. Or simply compare which songs best resonate with the fans on Spotify, YouTube and SoundCloud, which are the most playlisted and radio-friendly and which caught the attention of Shazamers.

1. Select the tracks you want to compare. A default view will show you the artist’s biggest tracks. To analyze other tracks, type them in and add them to the graph. By clicking the “X” button, you’ll remove the track. By clicking the “👁️” you can compare the stats without a specific track.
2. Set the timeframe. Compare the 12-month performance to see their long-term cycle or go for a shorter 1- or 3-month period to assess recent movements.
3. Select the metric. Compare the tracks by performance on different channels.
