An all-in-one music insights platform for artists on TikTok

TikTok, already a key player in music discovery, is taking things a step further with the launch of TikTok for Artists, a dedicated platform for musicians looking to optimize their presence on the app. Currently in a testing phase across five countries (Australia, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea), this new tool offers artists advanced features to promote their music, analyze the performance of their tracks, and strengthen engagement with their community.

A platform designed for artists

TikTok for Artists follows in the footsteps of services offered by Spotify and SoundCloud, providing artists with tools for analytics and promotion. Key features include:

Insights Dashboard

• Real-time measurement of plays, shares, and completion rates.
• Demographic segmentation and cohort analysis with retention curves.
• Pre-save landing page generator (Spotify, Apple Music) with customizable CTAs.
• Management of tracking pixels and multi-channel attribution (UTM, conversion tracking).
• Tracking activation rate and ROI by campaign.

Artist Verification Process

• Automated verification pipeline (minimum 4 tracks published)
• Profile completeness verification (bio, photo, official links) and press documentation
• Granting the “Artist” badge on the profile

‍

Access to these tools requires the creation of a verified artist account, available through the website artists.tiktok.com, even outside the countries currently included in the launch.

A bold music strategy

With this launch, TikTok reaffirms its ambition to become a central player in the music industry. Following the introduction of SoundOn, its music distribution platform that allows artists to release their tracks while retaining their copyrights, TikTok continues to develop solutions to support independent and emerging musicians.

A key opportunity for musicians

For artists, this new platform represents an opportunity to better understand their audience, optimize their promotional strategies, and strengthen their presence on TikTok. By combining creativity and analytics, TikTok for Artists offers powerful tools to turn a digital presence into true musical success.

With TikTok for Artists, the line between social network and virtual label is becoming increasingly blurred. The question remains whether artists will seize this opportunity to take control of their careers — or to reinvent the rules altogether.
