⚠️ Caveats

A roster’s popularity on Spotify is a simple but imperfect way to rank management companies. It doesn’t take into account revenue, record sales, tickets, creativity or a myriad of other important aspects. It also favors companies that represent genres that "stream better" & in larger markets. It is, however, based on data, not opinion. 🚫 No publicists were consulted in the making of this list.

Genre Contributions

The previous genre chart looked at data on a company level. This one analyzes genres across all artists signed to any of the top 100 companies. ⭐ Unsurprisingly Pop contributes by far the largest audience. ⭐ But if you switch to the average artist size tab, you'll see that Latin artists are the biggest pound for pound contributers.
