On Wednesday, Spotify released "Found Them First," a new microsite that shows you which artists you knew about before everyone else.

The site tells you not only the number of artists, but shows you the date you first listened to each artist:

For the purposes of the site, the top 1-15% of listeners are considered "early listeners," and will be able to see the ranking. The site only pulls "breakout" artists, defined as those who have 20 million streams and a growth rate of 2,000% over the past two years.

Of course, for those who don't have that many artists in your "Found Them First" site, you can always claim you just discovered them on SoundCloud.
