What this means

Proof that the algorithm finds artists at any size

Jann Klose's 12-month chart is the clearest before-and-after in the portfolio. Months of near-zero activity. Flat lines across every metric. Then the algorithm caught the music, and everything changed. Listeners up 126.1%. Streams up 129.6%. Saves up 218.6%.

The most recent 7-day snapshot captures the acceleration in real time. Personalized playlists surged 234.5%. Artist profile visits doubled. Listeners jumped 161.9%. These numbers show what happens in the first week after the algorithm locks onto new music.

South Africa and Kenya appearing in the top locations shows truly global algorithmic distribution. The algorithm doesn't just serve US and European markets. It finds listeners wherever the taste profile matches.

If you're a smaller artist with quality music but near-zero streams, Jann Klose's story matters. The algorithm found an artist with 2,700 followers and multiplied their reach by over 100%. Size doesn't determine discovery. Engagement signals do.

Algorithmic discovery

The algorithm isn't just aware of Jann Klose. It's actively pushing their music.

Radio leads with 1,861 listeners and 2,363 streams in just 7 days. For an artist coming from near-zero, having Radio generate nearly 2,000 listeners in a week is transformative. Discover Weekly adding 600 more means the algorithm has committed to ongoing discovery, not just a one-time test.
