HOW THE CHART WORKS

ONE PUBLIC METRIC. NO MYSTERY MATH.

01

Austin check

An act must have been formed in Austin, be an Austin native, or maintain an active Austin-area base. Former residents do not qualify.

02

Listener rank

Rank is based on the monthly-listener number shown on Spotify: unique listeners across a rolling 28-day window.

03

Stream ballpark

Spotify does not publish artist-level monthly streams. Our range models 1.8–3.2 plays per listener and is not a reported total.

Apple Music and other major services do not publish a comparable artist-level monthly audience number, so they are not mixed into the ranking. Artists appear in one primary genre to prevent duplicates.
