Audiomack, the global music streaming and discovery platform known for championing independent and emerging talent, just unveiled a major update for Audiomack for Tastemakers, its growing global curatorial program. The global streaming service now provides professional analytics to genre pros around the world to help Audiomack listeners be among the first to discover the next big sound.
The latest version of its iOS app now gives select curators professional-grade analytics tools to better track and optimize playlist performance, expanding on the features previously available through Android.
Audiomack Global Tastemaker Program Empowering Curators Worldwide
With this rollout, Audiomack’s Tastemakers, curators handpicked from scenes around the world, can now access advanced metrics like Stream Impact, Save Impact, Finish Rate, Engagement Stats, 30-second Stream Rate, and detailed seven-day performance snapshots. These analytics give curators the ability to study listener habits and adjust their playlists in real time to spotlight what resonates most.
It’s a move that reinforces Audiomack’s mission to keep human curation at the heart of music discovery. From dance halls in Jamaica to underground collectives across Africa and vibrant city scenes throughout the world, Tastemakers bring local authenticity and community-driven influence that algorithms alone can’t replicate.
A Platform Built for Discovery
“I started Audiomack because I’m a music fan and passionate about discovering music,” said David Ponte, Co-Founder and CMO of Audiomack. “As we’ve grown and helped break new artists around the world, we’ve found that a common trait of an Audiomack listener is that they, too, want to lean in and be a part of discovering the next big artist or sound. By providing our listeners with carefully curated playlists from our Tastemakers, we ensure they always have their finger on the pulse of new music and emerging artists.”
Since launching the Tastemakers beta in late 2024, Audiomack has accepted more than 350 playlist curators into the program. Each Tastemaker receives a verified badge, and their playlists get boosted visibility across the platform, helping them reach wider audiences while highlighting new artists across genres.
Building a Culture of Curation
The Tastemaker network recognizes the importance of storytelling in music discovery. These curators often serve as the first bridge between rising creators and global listeners, curating playlists that define culture before it trends. The company’s investment in professional-grade tools not only strengthens that bridge but also ensures data and creativity work hand-in-hand.
Aspiring curators can apply to join the Tastemaker program by visiting the company’s official application page, which provides step-by-step details for entry and verification.
