On February 16 Chartmetric (mega-data music aggregator) released their Year In Music report with the stats and sounds of music in 2023.

A Summary:

• Chartmetric has data on 103,861,101 tracks from 31,940,249 albums.

• 81% of artists have less than 1K monthly listeners.

• Chartmetric classify artist career stages as: 1 - Legendary, 2 - Superstar, 3 - Mainstream 4 - Mid-Level 5 - Developing & Undiscovered Artists.

• Only 0.05% of all Undiscovered artists broke into the Mid-Level, Mainstream, and Superstar Career Stages. The majority, or 87.6%, remained in the category, while 12.3% transitioned to Developing
