Cosign for Labels
Everyone finds most music late. Our panel does it less.
Not a forecast. Cosign scores listeners on verified, timestamped listening history — so we know who has a real record of being early. A label seat is a read on what those people are playing, how hard, and where they’re moving — before public numbers say anything. Spotify tells you who is popular. Cosign tells you who has real fans before they’re popular.
Twenty seconds of the real thing — the Nettspend read: the chart under a cursor, a song played without leaving the page, and the scouting list filtered to signable size.

Monthly listeners — our panel against Spotify's market
Lime is our panel (left axis); Spotify’s own count runs behind it on its own scale; the dashed cobalt line is the early cohort (right axis). This is the live chart — hover it.
Percentiles rank against the 6,242 artists with a publishable panel that month — one glance answers “is this a real fanbase or a passing trend?”
Ahead of the curve — the tape
Our early cohort was on him at 10k public listeners; 82 Cosign listeners by 30k, while the public curve was still on the floor. On this artist the cohort’s first plays landed under 30k at 4.6× the rate of typical listeners.
| Public reached | When | On | Cohort |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10k | 2023-08 | 30 | 7 |
| 30k | 2023-09 | 82 | 17 |
| 100k | 2023-12 | 216 | 28 |

Roster monitor — the early exit signal
Watch any roster for the early crowd walking away. The flag that matters: public numbers holding while our panel leaves — the market hasn’t noticed yet.

Real reads from the live monitor, measured 2026-07-27. Weekly cohort feeds show the same motion site-wide: what the early crowd is converging on, and what it’s leaving.
Not the artist dashboard
The artist plan shows one artist their own read. A label seat sees every artist — any-name lookup, the early-listener scouting feeds, rosters, and the weekly cohort motion. Artists tell you their story; seats tell you everyone’s.

Descriptive, not predictive: every figure is a dated fact about who played what and how big the artist was at that moment. Non-public listening appears only as aggregates over at least 5 people; private profiles and opt-outs are excluded throughout. Tastemakers who opted in to be found directly are on the scout directory.
