What information will I receive from the Spotify integration?
This article lists the metrics the Spotify for Podcasters integration provides. Note that charts and downloads from Spotify will populate in your Chartable dashboard without this integration. More information on where the data on your dashboard comes from can be found here.
The Spotify for Podcasters integration is available for all users. Learn more about publisher pricing information here.
Confirmed Plays
A confirmed play is when a user listens to at least 60 seconds of an episode in the Spotify app.
On the Overview page, confirmed plays for the podcast as a whole is shown graphically over time.
On the Episodes page, confirmed plays for each episode are listed. By clicking on a specific episode, you will be able to see the confirmed plays for the episode graphically over time.
Episode Consumption
You'll be able to see episode consumption (listen-through) rates for your listeners who are using the Spotify app.
On the Overview page, you can view consumption graphically across all episodes that Chartable has data for. This data is shown as the percentage of users who are still listening to your podcast throughout the average episode. The percentage of listeners is on the Y axis, while the percentage of the episode completed is on the X axis. Example below.
On the Episodes page, consumption is shown as a percentage of the episode that at least 50% of Spotify listeners completed. So, if at least half of listeners on Spotify played the whole episode, the consumption percentage will be 100%. If at least half of listeners on Spotify played 80% of the episode, the consumption percentage will be 80%. Example below.
By clicking on a specific episode, you can view the consumption graphically as the percentage of users who are are still listening your podcast throughout the episode. The percentage of listeners is on the Y axis, while the timestamp of the audio file is on the X axis. Example below.
Spotify Demographics
The Spotify for Podcasters integration provides individualized demographics including gender and age, which can be found on the Audiences page. More information can be found here. Without the Spotify integration, the Trackable RSS feed prefix is able to provide US household demographics.
