ecco2k in the background hahahha
got added to release radar and i feel blessed in general. 47 playlist adds in one day went to bed last night with 24 monthly listeners woke up to 274 and ik itll update to more tomorrow. meanwhile i invested in a yougrow package that hasnt even kicked in yet
Anyone else who had to witch from spotify to YouTube music and missing the discover weekly folder as new discovery spot for music you likelike in spotify weekly I liked 75% of the shjj that was in there where or how can I make YouTube music algorithm the same as my spotify
My new single which I released last week is on release radar getting a few hundred streams per day from it which is great because I've never had that many streams from RR before, so it's literally the first time Spotify feels like it's actually helping for once.
I use facebook ads to get the algorithm going on small artists that dont have the fans to jumpstart it themselves. I think this works because people that dont want to listen to the song, wouldnt click the ad, they can hear the song there, it filters out the least interested people and only those that actually care to give the song a shot or immediately like it end up on your spotify. Facebook ads dont pollute the algorithm (I agree its obviously not as good as just having a proper fanbase)
Perspective changer 🖤🫶
What are some of the best ways as an artist to connect with people in photography and film to make promos and music videos? I find it easy to connect with musicians because I’m in the music space, but not so much in the film space in the city I live in.
Hey Jesse! I just found out about not putting your music on playlist you pay for 😭 Iv done that a couple times now, do you think I need to delete my music and create a new account? Or can I still have hope if I no longer pay for playlists? I would appreciate your help
Dude sick let it enfold you plaque. Thanks for all the information you provide 🙂
Is there a step by step course you have for personally helping an artist available? Love your stuff bro 🙏
Interesting video – I have just seen the analysis this researcher has done about the PI, it s really interesting how he describes the details of what spotify is doing, have you seen it? https://youtu.be/g6cmU8LTyHM
This actually worked for me. But the thing is, im actually in the small percentage of people who actually got release radared more than 3 weeks into the release lol
Jesse can you let me know if the songs on my Spotify list is trash 🙂 thanks.. I'm in the kids space 🙂 Cheers .. Thanks for your million dollar advices. LOL you content is serious and relatable lol. Cheers keep up the great work..
your humor 😆 also, thanks for GREAT info
So if I have 8 singles out and the popularity score is down low across them all, is it better to delete all of the previous material or just create a new artist page? Thanks
Loving your channel❤️🔥
I love your videos, but. Just about everything requires some popularity to try any of these. Ive been releasing music for two years and my best spotify popularity score is 1%. I dont have a big following anywhere to push my music along. Im a good sport about it but damn, I just dont know how I can do any of these things you talk about.
independent artist here who released her first single looking out for good advice, thank you :)))
My songs are all actually really good mmmm
4,650 streams in 13 days so far with popularity index of 25%
Got it on some pretty solid independent playlists, so still hoping it might get picked up by Discover Weekly 🤞🏼
just dropped my album 5 days ago and you're literally the music mentor i needed for this rollout and music marketing strategies to apply, thank you Jesse!!
I can't believe u listen to Bladee :0
Nice tool. Thanks
what if my music publisher handles adding my music into Spotify, do I have a chance to make it onto those playlists?
how do we get on discover or radar if the music is not released in the past month?
Thanks Jesse. Is the fierst day really that crucial to feed data for later ? or its more a sliding scale over weeks ? Where is the sweet spot to informfans via multiplatforms over that short period of time ? eg Posting message to BCamp, Youtube, FAcebook, mailouts etc etc in 24 hours means spam or overkill if they are multi-subbed. So surely better to space out a bit ?
‘Hey ya’ may be the perfect song. It’s indie for people who like rap, it’s rap for people who like indie. Can be played in a variety of settings.
I play local artist's music on repeat. I wonder if it helps their discoverability.
using ecco2k as an example in your other video? the flag is raised on spotify in the background? you have my undivided attention sir.
What if you don’t have a starring fan base
You are golden
My 2nd release is at 23% popularity score, what do you see is the normal for getting on editorial playlist ?
We get all our songs on Release Radar, but only got a few songs on Discover Weekly. We had one song on and editorial playlist, however our goal is to get the Fans Only Like.
so new releases dont get into release radar until after at least a week if not more?
Hey Jesse, thanks for the amazing info. I just released my first song on spotify and so far it's got 1100 streams in 3 days. Streams/listeners engagement ratio is around 4 and I have got 50 followers all organically. Do you think the song is doing good and does it have any chance of getting in discover weekly?
Always interesting listening to this stuff with the new knowledge you gave us – 80% of spotify uploads have less than 5k plays haha
Hey, so my new song „legendary“ has been out for 7 months, has a popularity index of 38 yet only gets maybe 2-4 streams per day from spotify radio or your daily mix… so although the index is high Im not getting any algorithm… any ideas why and what to do?
My new song „
Fragile“ has a popularity index of 26 got few thousand spins of release radar but has just been out 2 days so lets see how it continues.
TIKTOK is not available in india 😔
Hey Jesse thanks for the info! When you talk about "the algorithm" do you mean both release radar and discover weekly? Do you think those playlists have different popularity score thresholds?
Jesse this is the most valuable vid you've put out yet IMO – this has truly changed the way I look at promoting my songs, literally such a big lightbulb moment
Based music choice jesse
Thanks for all your videos Jesse – your points on getting into Youtube playlists was a new angle to consider and I think one of the main kick-starting elements of how one of our singles has had a large amount of plays and is more-or-less on autopilot via discover-weekly, gaining higher weekly plays each subsequent week a year after release
