Spotify Expands Music Video Push

Music Business Worldwide:

The Music Video Charts Global, which went live on Tuesday (July 21), ranks the top 50videos worldwide by daily stream count, according to the company.

It arrives as Spotify also, for the first time, lets artists pitch their music videos directly to its editorial team for playlist consideration.

Both features are part of an expansion of video across the platform, which now counts nearly 100,000 artists in a beta that lets them upload full-length videos themselves.

The chart sits within Spotify‘s Charts and Music Video Playlists hubs, and every Tuesday the company says it will spotlight the top 10 videos across its social channels.
