If you’re an artist, music manager, or label looking for ways to increase your Monthly Listeners on Spotify, you have come to the right place. Growing your Monthly Listeners isn’t a hard task when you know how the Spotify algorithm works. As of 2021, it is estimated that no less than 44% of all streams come from playlists. So understanding the algorithm and taking advantage of available tools are key in growing your fan base and getting more people to listen to your music.
The Spotify algorithm gives each individual track a score from 0-100 known as a popularity score. When you hit 40/100 or more, Spotify tends to push that track more using its algorithm playlists like Radio, Discovery Weekly, Release Radar, and more. It’s important to note that this number is dynamic and constantly changes based on listener engagement with the song. If a song has a steady stream of listeners over time and they stay engaged with it (skipping less), then the popularity score increases which helps boost playlist placement opportunities.
