HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 24, 2025 -- Chartmetric has integrated chart data from NetEase Cloud Music, one of China's largest and most youth-driven streaming platforms. The move gives global music professionals structured access to regional listening trends, helping bridge the data gap between China's music ecosystem and the rest of the world.
NetEase Cloud Music is the home of music streaming for China's youth, whose userbase includes 90% of users aged under 35. The platform plays a central role in music discovery among younger Chinese listeners, especially for international and independent artists.
Chartmetric now tracks three key NetEase rankings:
- China Hot 100 Songs Chart (weekly)
- International Hot 100 Songs Chart (weekly)
- International New 100 Songs Chart (daily)
These charts reflect real-time listening behavior within mainland China and are now available through Chartmetric's dashboard, enabling users to:
- Monitor performance across China's streaming ecosystem
- Compare regional trends with global benchmarks
- Identify breakout moments and audience shifts as they happen
The integration is part of a broader initiative to make China's music data more accessible through platforms already used by labels, managers, and distributors. As streaming continues to globalize, regional insight is increasingly critical for artist development, marketing, and long-term planning.
NetEase Cloud Music commented:" We are glad to partner with Chartmetric, one of the most respected music analytics platforms in the world. This collaboration connects their global artist, label, distributor, and industry clientele to China's vibrant music ecosystem through our charts — expanding visibility and fostering new opportunities for discovery and collaboration. "

It works with a range of talent including Demxntia, Jordann, Bbno$, Stephanie Poetri, Hua Chenyu, as well as legacy acts.
