Artist statistics, analytics and dashboards are multiplying like rabbits...

Bruce Warila Artist statistics, analytics and dashboards are popping up everywhere.
- ReverbNation
- SoundCloud
- TuneCore
- SonicBids
- ArtistData
- EchoNest
- Trendrr
- MySpace (read the latest blurb on HypeBot)
- Band Metrics
- Last.fm
- RockDex
- The Orchard
- BigChampagne
- Next Big Sound
- MusicMetric
- Etc.
Over eighteen months ago I wrote a post about how the music industry is going to become a data-driven business (compared to the auto recycling industry - I have cleaned up this post considerably).
When competitors work to provide the best tools and information to artists...artists win.
Over the next 2 to 3 years, we should see a rush to consolidate data, tools, services and access to consumers under larger entities that compete to attract the best/most artists.

Data is a valuable asset and needs to be treated as such. We just launched RockDex Pro in private beta, another one for the list. Let me know if you would like an invite to check it out. http://www.rockdex.com
I think if their was a service that mirrored Big Champagnes but was priced fairly for indies, that would be ideal.
