Amazon Music continues to be an undeniable force in the world of music streaming and downloading. Just as the e-commerce giant did for books, home goods, clothes – and, well just about everything else – Amazon has established itself as a source of new music for its ever-expanding, global user base. With 55 million customers, each week fans of all genres flock to the platform to find new music from their favorite artists and discover their next favorite artists.

As one of the leaders in the streaming market, Amazon is stepping up its offering to independent musicians with Amazon Music For Artists, a mobile app-based portal that allows artists to claim, customize and glean more vital information from their profiles on Amazon Music.

• Access to near-real-time streaming data, providing artists with the latest streaming data across their entire catalog.
• A fan insights tab, which provides a breakdown of an artist’s most engaged listeners –Fans and Superfans – so they can focus on growing these segments over time.
• A custom date filter, so artists can choose specific dates, or length of time to track performance in near-real-time, including the last 24 hours of a release.
• Ability to update your artist image.
• Authentication with Twitch to bring your livestreams into the Amazon Music app.
