About Pitchfork
Pitchfork has reviewed music since 1996 and remains the most argued-about critical voice in the field. Its scores and its Best New Music designation move conversations in a way no other outlet's do, and it is read by musicians, labels and other critics as much as by listeners.
What the numbers mean for a feature
These figures describe the whole site. An individual article gets a share of that traffic, not all of it.
Pitchfork's influence is disproportionate to its traffic because of who reads it. A piece there is read by the people who book, sign and write about artists, and it carries into other coverage: critics read Pitchfork before they write. For an artist it is a position in the critical conversation rather than simply exposure.
