in november 2015, spotify introduced a "fan insights" panel in limited beta form, letting artists and managers access data on monthly listeners, geographical data, demographic information, music preferences and more. in april 2017, the panel was upgraded to leave beta status, renamed as "spotify for artists", and opened to all artists and managers. additional features include the ability to get "verified" status with a blue checkmark on an artist's profile, receiving artist support from spotify, customising the profile page with photos and promoting a certain song as their "pick".
