At what point does spotify make a "radio" for a band or single musician

[Thetwopercent]

Wondering how spotify makes and when they get around to making a band a radio. For instance our band has around 39 followers and 52 montly listeners. I know amaetuer numbers but I have seen bands with less with radio. Is it a time thing, stream thing, or follower thing.

Hi there @Thetwopercent, thanks for posting in the Community! 

The radio is based on tracks or artists similar to your band. 

If you currently don`t have any, thats the possible reason. 

Don`t worry, with the time there will appear similar artists on your artist page.

You can look for more info, on Guide for Artists and Fan Insights 

Wish you many fans and luck in future!

How long does it take for spotify to group you with similar artists?

Hey @Thetwopercent,

To improve the quality of data used in the algorithms that generate your 'Related Artists,' Spotify always recommends establishing and maintaining a social media presence, getting people and press talking about your music online, and encouraging fans to listen to your music on Spotify. 

I'm unable to provide you any info about when you will see Related Artists on your artist page but i'm sure you'll see them sometime soon.
