Methodology: 

  • Our analysis of the most popular and highest-earning artists in 34 US major cities. Artist fan bases were calculated per 10,000 of a city’s local population size.
  • The number of fans per artist in each city was sourced from Spotify’s Ad Studio. By targeting the maximum possible reach for fans of specific artists, we were able to discover the estimated size of each artist’s fan base in each major US city, according to Spotify listeners.
  • The total estimated earnings each artist makes per year from their fans in each city is based on the following calculation:
    • The average Spotify user in Europe streams 99 minutes of music per day.
    • 99 minutes divided by the average length of a song on Spotify (3 minutes 19 seconds) equals 29 songs.
    • A fan streaming 99 minutes at least once per month listens to 348 songs a year.
    • 348 streams multiplied by the number of fans per location equals the number of songs listened to in one year per location per artist.
    • That figure multiplied by Spotify earnings per stream equals total artist earnings per city.
