SNKHOL - Chicago Artist Rankings

How We Rank:

Artists are ranked by Spotify weekly monthly listener gains/losses and streams from the last seven days and split into two tiers based on Spotify followers (<10K and 10K-100K followers). Only artists with 2+ Chicago live shows in the past/next 6 months qualify. Future reports will show ranking changes vs. previous week AND make the 'live show qualifier' 3+ shows.

THIS WEEK'S ARTISTS OF NOTE

<10K FOLLOWERS John Medeski - 116K streams this week - would have actually had him placed 34th in the <100K list.

<100K FOLLOWERS Advance Base - incredible 4:1 stream-to-listener ratio this week. (As an emotionally stable adult male I can confirm that I have NOT weeped listening to Your Dog in the last seven days).
