The primary mission for Next Big Sound at Pandora is to empower artists and their teams to make informed decisions using data from Pandora and major social platforms. At the heart of this mission is a powerful analysis platform that puts this data into context and provides meaningful benchmarks to help drive artists’ careers. 

In addition to the analysis platform, Next Big Sound offers engaging industry content — including in-depth, data-driven blog posts, as well as Billboard and Pandora Charts. These can be viewed and shared freely without creating an account on Next Big Sound.
