摘要：
We study the problem of measuring the popularity of artists in music streaming platforms. We uncover the space of popularity indices upon exploring the implications of several axioms capturing principles with normative appeal. As a result, we characterize several families of indices. Our characterizations might help to address the rising concern in the music industry to explore new methods that reward artists (from the revenues platforms raise by charging users) more appropriately. We actually connect our families to the new royalties models, recently launched by Spotify and Deezer.
