Concert stats decoded: what your gig diary is actually saying

Top artists, cities, venues, and ratings from a concert diary tell you more about your taste than Spotify Wrapped. Here is how to read them.

Top artist is who you paid to see, not who you streamed

If your streaming top artist never appears in the gig diary, you like the records more than the tours. If a live favourite barely scrobbles, you show up for rooms, not playlists.

Radar’s stats are built from logged shows. That is why they disagree with Spotify — and why they are more useful if you care about nights out.

Cities and venues beat genre labels

Cities and venues beat genre labels in Radar.

A year of “indie” on streaming can be 40 nights in the same three rooms. The map shows whether you actually travel or just have a local habit.

Venue repeats are a taste signal. Ten gigs at the same 400-cap room says more than a genre pie chart.

Ratings only work if you are mean sometimes

If every gig is five stars, the stat is noise. Rate relative to your own year. The 3-star Tuesday is still worth logging.

Concert Wrapped in Radar Pro turns the year into slides you can share. The underlying numbers stay on your profile all year, not just in December.

FAQ

Common questions

Where can I see my concert stats?
Radar shows totals on your profile as you log. Radar Pro Concert Wrapped summarises the year for sharing.
Why don’t my gig stats match Spotify Wrapped?
One counts streams. The other counts nights you attended. They should not match.
