About
Launched in 2009, Next Big Sound is the leading provider of analytics and insights for music, book publishing and brands. We merge tens of billions of data points (social media, press coverage, events) for hundreds of thousands of artists and authors with our customers' proprietary sales and streaming data. We cover over 70% of the global recorded music industry and use our data to forecast the next big selling artist. Next Big Sound powers the Social 50 and Next Big Sound charts for Billboard, artist analytics for Spotify, and has raised $7.5m in venture financing from Foundry Group, IA Ventures, SofttechVC, and a handful of angel investors.
