We’re thrilled to announce The Taxonomy of Artists, the latest music industry research report from Next Big Sound.
Call it taxonomy, classification, even organization — it is what we use to make sense of almost everything around us. We build systems and put things in logical, labeled boxes that help us comprehend the world.
Why shouldn’t the same be true for the artist?
Use our new interactive benchmarking tool to understand how your artists perform compared to their peers.
