Our Growth Timeline
About This Data
All statistics on this page are derived from real campaign data collected by PlaylistsForYou between 2023 and 2026. This also includes our old Fiverr account, clients from Instagram direct messages, and of course the website. Stream increases are calculated by comparing listener counts before campaign start and after campaign ending, averaged across a subset of selected campaigns. Acceptance rates represent the percentage of curators who accepted a track out of the total number of playlists being pitched to. Ratings are aggregated from verified reviews on Fiverr and Trustpilot. We update these figures yearly, unless we notice a strong deviation before that.
