Chartmetric rank and score change over the last 6 months

- Visibility spikes do not consistently convert into durable baseline growth
DSP and Social Media Cross-Platform Snapshot
Data as of Dec. 19 - Jan. 16, 2026
Big Picture:
- Overall visibility is trending up, driven mainly by YouTube performance and modest Spotify follower growth
- Discovery is outperforming retention, meaning people are finding RIXXIA, but not all platforms are converting that attention into sustained listeners yet
- Short-form social is underperforming relative to long-form video, signaling an opportunity gap on TikTok and Instagram
Key Takeaways:
- Top-of-funnel awareness is strong (especially on YouTube)
- Mid-funnel conversion is weak (Spotify listeners dropping)
- Bottom-funnel loyalty is inconsistent evidenced by engagement trends on social media and User-Generated-Content (UGC) platforms
Platform-level Snapshot: YouTube
YouTube subscriber trends over the last 6 months
Summary:
- Sustained 34% subscriber growth over six months confirms strong content-market fit and algorithmic reach
- Consistent releases are driving sustained subscriber growth (i.e., release pasing = consistent algorithm re-activation)
Key Takeaways (In-Context):
- In context, YouTube subscribers are growing faster than streaming listeners and social followers, signaling funnel leakage rather than weak demand
- Cross-Platform performance suggests scaling impact will come from tightening cross-platform conversion systems, not reinventing content direction

Spotify engagement trends over the last 6 months
Summary:
Spotify popularity is stable-to-soft, not accelerating
Fan conversion efficiency is improving meaningfully
Monthly listeners peaked, then retraced
-
Spotify Popularity Index: 46/100, down 2.1% over six months

Monthly listeners peaked, then retraced

Spotify sits in the middle of the funnel:
- Stronger than social (IG, TikTok) at conversion
- Weaker than YouTube at retention
