You can now benefit from Chartmetric’s wide database to create artist one sheets in a matter of seconds — with information always remaining up-to-date and accurate.
The following comes from Chartmetric, a company DMN is proud to be partnering with.
For those accustomed to working on new releases, the concept of a ‘one sheet’ will sound familiar. Historically, the quick summaries have been shuttled to record stores, magazines, radio stations, and other outlets. The purpose: to give a glimpse into an artist’s career and new releases for partners and clients to place orders.
Historically, anyone potentially interested in an upcoming album or artist would receive this one sheet. This all went away with digital: nowadays, it’s all about submitting tracks to streaming platforms directly with each account. But there’s still a strong industry need for quick summaries on artists, albums, and other projects.
With that in mind, Chartmetric is bringing back these artists sheets, (re)creating an easy way for any music professional to share a digital page about a band or an artist. The company acquired the appropriately-titled Onesheet in October of 2022. Just a few months later, the company is relaunching the platform with Chartmetric data powering the summaries.
How to create digital artist pages with Chartmetric data
Once an account is created on Onesheet, any user can create a digital page by simply searching for a name in the 9 million artist database provided by Chartmetric. All the necessary information will immediately appear on the page. It’s all ready to be shared, from bio to metrics on streaming platforms and social media.
These metrics will be automatically refreshed every day, keeping all digital pages updated at any time. Looking for an artist that’s not in the Charmetric database? Add the link to their Spotify page and Onesheet will generate the page anyway. In addition, Onesheet is integrated with Bandsintown to automatically sync live shows. It’s also tied into YouTube to add videos, and the broader web to pull in images found online.
Once the sheet is created, all categories can be edited (includes text, images, and videos). Finally, once the page is saved and published, any person with the link will be able to view the content online without having to create an account.
Announce your release on your Onesheet
More than giving all required information about an artist or band, Chartmetric’s new service allows for one key feature: Spotlight Release. Let’s say you have an upcoming or a current priority release to share, even if those haven’t been distributed yet. You can add your SoundCloud / YouTube / Audiomack / Vimeo link in your Onesheet, which will create an embedded audio/video to play directly in the artist’s digital page.
Even if it’s not released, you can put it on Onesheet to make your promotion strategy more efficient.
There it is: within a few minutes, any user can create a full page for an artist and announce a release to come. The page can also be completed with contact info (name, company, contact) at the bottom to use as a presskit.
Anyone from the music business is now able to create a page for their artist. Promotion is just a share click away. By the way, the URL never changes, meaning that data will always be updated thanks to Chartmetric, and the link will always be working, up until you decide to close the page.
