Monthly Artist Report · May 2026
Strong growth stalling at the follow-through — your reach is working, your conversion isn't.
You hit 47,200 monthly listeners this month — up 23% — but follower growth only moved 4%. Fans are discovering you and moving on. Your Melbourne ad campaign drove 38% of new listener growth. London is your fastest-growing market with zero activation. The opportunity gap is wide open.

Artist Health Score
Good momentum — conversion gap is the priority
Up 8 points from last month. Growth is strong but follower conversion is pulling the score down. Fix that one thing and you're at 85+.

June Focus — What To Do Next
Priority 01 · Urgent
Fix the follower conversion gap
23% listener growth but only 4% follower growth means fans are discovering you and not committing. Run a superfan activation — direct email to your 124 detected superfans asking them to follow on Spotify and join your Fan Hub list.
→ Launch Superfan Activation
Priority 02 · Revenue
Activate London before it cools
London is up 41% with 6,600 fans and zero activation. Run a targeted regional ad campaign now while the algorithm is in your favour. Estimated return: $14k show + $2k merch.
→ Create London Campaign
Priority 03 · Maintain
Re-pitch Glass Hours to editorial
Glass Hours was released on a Tuesday (Grade: D timing) and never got editorial. It has the same sonic profile as Hollow Ground which landed a placement. Re-pitch it with corrected positioning.
