Backstage Insights provides detailed analytics for individual tracks, albums, and artist profiles. Unlike the Producer Dashboard which shows aggregate data across your entire catalog, Backstage Insights lets you drill down into the performance of specific content.
Audience: Track owners and collaborators. You can only view insights for content you own or are credited on.
