In his post he published some stats that show that his songs with the highest save rates are the songs that get featured in Discover Weekly most. This 10% figure seems to be backed up by singer.songwriter Steve Benjamins who posted this excellent blog post on how he earns $400 a month from Discover Weekly playlists. During my years of studying stats for hundreds of artists I typically see save rates of between 3% to 7% on average. What makes a good save rate then I hear you ask? Well Spotify don’t publish any guidelines here but I’m going to go out on a limb and say anything above 10% as being “good”. If you divide saves by listeners (25.3k / 258.6k) then multiply by 100 you get a save rate of 9.78%. So in the Spotify for Artists dashboard screenshot above users have saved a particular song 25.3k times and has had 258.6k listeners during the same period.
