Collectively they show that, even for virtually unknown clients, inclusion in official Spotify playlists leads to both a spike in streams and a significant amount of lasting interest. 

**Below is data for two artists, Guordan Banks and Michael Brun.**

Kobalt tell [TechCrunch](https://www.recode.net/2017/3/28/15079992/spotify-playlist-awal-michael-brun-gourdan-banks?ref=hypebot.com) that they generally see a boost of 50-100% after artists are added to official Spotify playlists. Even after the spikes wear off, the artists usually see a 20% increase in streams.
