The A&R Problem
A&R teams spend 40+ hours weekly manually scrolling SoundCloud, TikTok, and Spotify. 90% of breakout artists are discovered too late — after they've already been signed by faster-moving competitors.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Our proprietary algorithm analyzes five key dimensions: streaming velocity (35% weight), playlist momentum (25%), social signals from TikTok and other platforms (20%), organic engagement ratio (10%), and release consistency (10%). Each artist receives a score from 0–100, with higher scores indicating a stronger probability of breaking out in the next 30–90 days.
We ingest data from Spotify (monthly listeners, followers, playlist additions, streaming velocity), TikTok (sound usage, video counts, engagement trends), and SoundCloud (plays, reposts, follower growth). Our pipeline scans 2.4M+ artists daily and cross-references signals across all platforms for maximum accuracy.
Our backtesting shows a 94% accuracy rate — meaning 94% of artists who scored 85+ on our system went on to achieve significant growth milestones (100K+ monthly listener increase, major playlist placement, or label signing) within 90 days. We continuously refine the model with new data.

Yes! Every new subscriber gets their first Hot 50 report completely free — no credit card required. Join the waitlist and we'll send you this week's report so you can evaluate the quality of our intelligence before committing to a paid plan.
Traditional analytics platforms show you what's already happened. LabelIntel is predictive — we identify artists before they blow up, not after. Our AI-powered breakout scoring is specifically designed for A&R decision-making, not general music analytics. We focus on the signal that matters most: "Should we sign this artist?"
Pro and Label plans include competitor tracking. You can monitor which unsigned artists are gaining attention from rival labels, track A&R activity signals, and set up alerts when artists on your watchlist hit scoring thresholds. Label plans also include market intelligence on signing trends.
