What Is Apple Music for Artists?

Apple Music for Artists explained: claim your profile, view detailed streaming analytics and promote releases on Apple Music.

Apple Music for Artists is Apple's analytics and profile management tool for musicians. It shows detailed streaming data, lets you claim your artist page, and helps you understand your audience across Apple Music.

Claiming your artist page

Claiming your page lets you add artwork, bio and links, and gain access to performance analytics. Verification requires your catalog to be live on Apple Music.

A claimed, complete page converts more browsers into listeners and makes you look professional.

Apple's analytics

The dashboard provides plays, song details, listener geography and engagement data. Unlike some platforms, Apple provides per-song play counts and a breakdown of play sources.

Use the 'Fan Trends' and listener insights to shape your promotion strategy on Apple Music.
