The numbers make the case on their own. According to Luminate, superfans make up roughly 20% of an artist's audience but spend 68% more money on music each month than the average fan, and they're 54% more likely to be the first among their friends to discover a new artist — meaning they're not just a revenue source, they're an artist's most effective (and free) distribution channel. The report goes on to cover the tools labels and artists are already using to identify these fans and turn that early enthusiasm into a lasting, two-way relationship rather than a one-off spike in streams.
