However, this kind of in-depth analytics is only available in your Spotify artist portal for the first seven days afternoon content has been updated. Spotify has begun to add new algorithms behind the scenes, promoting a real-time stream count solution that’s supposed to provide detailed analytics for new release updates on a 1.5 second basis.

This is because if you release brand-new content at say 7 PM Eastern Time you won’t get any new data whatsoever until your music has been on the platform for more than 24 hours – which can really hurt new artists wondering if they are getting the bump in listenership they were looking for. While that might not seem like a big deal on the surface the fact of the matter is that the timing of your uploads for new content as a huge impact on whether or not you’ll get noticed by the Spotify community and whether or not you have any chance of breakthrough success on Spotify the way some other new artists already have.

This has to do a lot with the fact that Spotify plays and listener figures are only ever updated once every 24 hours at right around 3 PM Eastern Time. You see, while Spotify does a fantastic job when it comes to helping new artists get discovered by listeners all over the world – and also does a great job when it comes to promoting new content – the analytics that they provide can be a little bit hit or miss. We are going to be honest with you here for a second – trying to measure the activity on your Spotify account (particularly when it comes to accurate play and monthly listeners figures) can feel like a real uphill battle if you’re only going off of the analytics that Spotify provides in-house to all artists.
