7. Tracking DW Performance in Spotify for Artists

Part 2 • Discover Weekly (DW) as a Long-Term Quality Test

Your Spotify for Artists dashboard provides detailed insights into your Discover Weekly performance. Under the "Playlists" tab for your individual tracks, you can see how many times your song has been added to DW, how many streams it has generated, and a breakdown of the listener demographics. This data helps you understand the reach of your music and identify new audience segments. A consistent presence on DW indicates your track has passed Spotify's long-term quality test.
