Songstats – Powering the Next Generation of Data-Driven Artists
In the music industry today, talent alone isn’t enough—artists need insight. Understanding how, where, when, and why listeners engage with your music can be the difference between a viral hit and a missed opportunity. To combat these modern challenges, Songstats offers a groundbreaking music analytics platform for artists, labels, and producers who want to take control of their data and amplify their reach.
Originally developed as “1001Tracklists for Artists,” Songstats was cut from the same cloth that made 1001Tracklists: a hub for the electronic music community. For years, 1001Tracklists has served as an invaluable resource, letting producers see which DJs were supporting their tracks in clubs, festivals, and radio shows worldwide. As the music industry has evolved within platforms like Spotify, TikTok, and Instagram, it’s become clear that artists across all genres need to adapt to the digital world.
“All of the tools we’re building come from the artist level up,” said Oskar Eichler, Songstats’ co-founder and CEO. “Every feature is something I’m genuinely excited to use myself.” Eichler’s dual identity as half of the DJ duo DONT BLINK and label owner of LOW CEILING means he’s uniquely positioned to understand what modern artists and labels need. He has years of experience in music technology: from producing his own music as a teenager, to founding Arcane (a YouTube licensing network for DJs) as a young adult, to helping develop 1001Tracklists into the definitive track database for electronic music.
Songstats aggregates data from over 14 major digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Shazam, Beatport, and more. Whether someone’s an independent producer or managing multiple artists, Songstats provides a clear overview of one’s global performance, giving artists everything from chart placements to who’s playing their track on the radio.
For labels, the benefits multiply. Signing up as a record label account unlocks the ability to track all artists under your management, providing a complete overview of your label’s network. This means A&R and marketing teams can instantly identify breakout tracks, analyze audience engagement, and plan promotions more effectively.
“Songstats is like a manager in your pocket,” said Eichler. “You get notified the moment your song hits a new playlist, charts, or reaches a milestone. It keeps you motivated, and it shows the results of all your hard work.”
One of the most innovative additions to the platform is Radiostats: a feature that tracks music across more than 50,000 radio stations and TV channels. Previously, global radio monitoring was expensive and often reserved for major-label artists. Now, thanks to advancements in AI and Songstats’ technology, anyone can access highly accurate, real-time radio spin data at an affordable price point.
“Radio is still one of the most important sources for audio consumption,” said Eichler. “It’s also a valuable source of income from publishing and neighboring rights. Visualizing where your music is being played around the world helps artists connect with those regions—maybe even plan their next tour stop.”
Beyond analytics, Songstats also empowers artists with actionable marketing tools. Its “Playlist Recommendations” feature uses an algorithm to identify playlists that best match an artists’ sound and helps target their promotional efforts more effectively. “We first built it internally to find playlists for our own music,” said Oskar. “It worked so well that we opened it up to everyone.”
The platform also includes creator and label recommendations—plus integrations with playlist-pitching platforms like Submithub, Groover, and Daily Playlists—making it a must-have for artist growth and exposure.
For many artists, especially those in the electronic scene, Songstats has become an essential daily tool. The app’s intuitive interface and instant push notifications mean artists are always aware of their progress. Whether someone has hit 1,000 Shazams in Brazil or landed a prime playlist in Germany, they’ll know the moment it happens.
Eichler believes that even the smallest wins can have a massive impact. “Up-and-coming artists often don’t realize they’re gaining traction across platforms,” he said. “Songstats makes sure no highlight goes unnoticed. You can use those early achievements to thank fans, share milestones, and build a real support network.”
Turning Numbers Into Momentum
In a landscape where algorithms and analytics often feel overwhelming, Songstats transforms raw data into clear, actionable insights. They help artists stay focused on what matters most: the music. For DJs, producers, and labels navigating today’s fast-paced digital world, it gives them a leg up in the ever-changing music industry.
