Buy Spotify Monthly Listeners

The number everyone in music checks first

Monthly listeners is the headline stat on your Spotify artist profile, and it's the first thing labels, playlist curators, bookers, and fans look at to size you up. It's a rolling count of how many unique people played your music in the last 28 days, which makes it a live read on your momentum rather than a lifetime total. An artist showing 300 monthly listeners is easy to dismiss; one showing tens of thousands gets a second look and a lot more benefit of the doubt.

Growing this number changes how the industry and new listeners perceive where you're at.

How it works

Because monthly listeners is a rolling 28-day figure driven by unique plays, it's built up over two to four days across your music. Share your artist profile link and pick a package - from $15.

How monthly listeners are counted

Monthly listeners is the number of unique listeners who played your music in the last 28 days, shown in large type on your Spotify artist profile. Because it covers a rolling 28 days, it rises after a release or a playlist add and falls when activity drops. Labels, bookers and playlist curators read it as a measure of current momentum, not of all-time reach.

Choose a market

• Argentina, Australia or India: $15 for 1,000.
• Worldwide or USA: $17 for 1,000.

Price and delivery

Monthly listeners are sold in blocks of 1,000. Argentina, Australia and India start at $15 per 1,000, Worldwide and the USA at $17, and Canada at $21, with France and the UK also available. Larger orders are multiples of 1,000 with a package discount that grows with the order: 5% off two or three blocks, 10% off four or five, and 15% off ten or twenty. Delivery takes two to four days.

Which link to use

Monthly listeners belong to your artist profile, not to one song. Open your profile in Spotify, tap the three dots or Share, and copy the link. Artist links look like open.spotify.com/artist/… Use that link, not a track, album or playlist link.

Why the number moves

Spotify counts unique listeners over the last 28 days, and updates the figure regularly. It is a rolling number: listeners from a month ago drop out as new ones are counted. That means monthly listeners rise around a release and fall when you go quiet. Ordered listeners follow the same rule, so time the order for the window when the number matters most.

When to order

• Around a release, when your profile gets the most visits from fans, playlists and press.
• Before pitching a label, booker, festival or playlist curator, who will check your profile.
• Before announcing a tour, so promoters see an artist with a current audience.

Choosing a market

Spotify for Artists shows the cities and countries your listeners are in, and anyone looking at your profile can see your top cities. Pick the market that matches your audience. An Argentinian or Indian artist gets a consistent picture from listeners in their own country; an English-language artist aiming at the US, UK or Australia should choose that market. Worldwide suits releases aimed at everyone.

Keep the profile consistent

Labels and curators look at more than one number. A profile with 50,000 monthly listeners and 200 followers, or songs with a few hundred plays each, looks odd. Pair monthly listeners with Spotify followers on your profile and plays on your main release, so the numbers tell one story.

A worked example

An indie band from Buenos Aires is about to send its new EP to festival bookers. Two weeks before the pitch, they order 5,000 Argentinian monthly listeners ($67.50 with the 10% package discount), add followers to their artist profile, and update their artist photo and bio in Spotify for Artists. When the bookers open the profile, they see a band with a current, local audience, and the top cities match where the band plays.

Keep expectations honest

Monthly listeners make your profile look current. They do not get you onto editorial playlists, and they should not be treated as a way to earn royalties: Spotify can remove plays it considers artificial. Treat them as one part of a release plan, alongside real promotion.

The number also falls naturally after the window ends. Plan around the moments when people will look, rather than trying to keep it high all year.

Many artists order a block a week or so before a release and another before a big pitch or tour announcement, and let the number settle in between.

That rhythm matches how real listening works.
