Every artist in your lane is running a blueprint.Opah hands you theirs, then tells you what to do next.

Major labels keep people whose whole job is working out what the competition is running. Independent artists have been guessing. Opah studies the artists you choose across five platforms and turns what it finds into a working template for the whole operation: how they market, what they post and how often, how they brand it, how long they keep a campaign running, which cities they buy, how they promote a tour. Then it runs the same models on your own artists and names the next move.

6 of 6
share Sydney

Point the first test budget at Sydney and Melbourne. Every artist in this lane has measurable listeners in Sydney; only 2 of 6 do in Los Angeles.

150
days and still live

Copy the ad that survived, not the newest one. 626 of these 1,124 ads were switched off inside a week. The 15 that passed 90 days are the only creative this lane has actually proven.

480 vs 86
tickets vs listens

Lead with the show, not the single. Ticket and travel calls-to-action outnumber “Listen now” more than five to one across this lane's campaigns.

Then it turns the same models on your own artists

  • YouTube26% of audience, 3% of output
    382,000 following, 2 posts in 90 days

YouTube holds 26% of this artist’s audience and receives 3% of the output. Nobody sees that by opening three apps in turn, because each one only ever shows you itself.

Also read, on your own catalogue
  • Track affinity
    Which song to put the budget behind, not which one is biggest.

    A track's share of your catalogue's current popularity divided by its share of lifetime plays. One track with 739 million lifetime plays scores 0.17: demand has moved on. Scores above 1 are pulling more than their size predicts.

  • Popularity and listeners over time
    Whether you are actually accelerating, not just large.

    Spotify popularity from 0 to 100, monthly listeners and world rank, kept as a time series so velocity is visible rather than a single number on a page.

  • Market openings
    The cities to move on next.

    Where the artists in your lane have measurable listeners and you do not. City level, which is the honest unit of what streaming reports.
