Additionally, RouteNote has unveiled 'RouteNote Trends,' a tool that provides real-time data on music performance, including streaming numbers and audience demographics. This will help musicians make informed decisions to boost their reach and engagement[5].
TikTok is also making waves with the soft launch of its 'TikTok for Artists' platform.
