🎯 The Truth About the Spotify Algorithm (That No One’s Telling You) Everyone says Spotify’s algorithm is a mystery. It's not. It's math. Psychology. And timing. And once you get this — your next release could be 🎵the one that changes everything. 📈 Spotify ≠ TikTok. But They’re Closer Than You Think. Both platforms reward one thing: concentrated engagement from the right audience.But here's the critical difference... - TikTok tests content immediately in small batches. If it works, it expands. - Spotify does the same thing — just with a 30-day delay. So if your first listeners are the right listeners? Spotify takes it from there. 🔥 The Hack: Don’t Just Get Streams. Get the Right Streams. Forget begging people to “check out your new song.” That’s outdated. Instead: 1. Target fans of artists who sound like you.Make alternative R&B? Go get The Weeknd’s fans. Not your cousin’s gym buddies. 2. Run smart ads.A few hundred pounds behind a laser-focused campaign can bring in 2,000 engaged listeners — enough to trigger Spotify’s radar. 3. Crush your first 14 days.Use pre-saves and ads to flood your release with activity from Day One.Why? Because early traction = signals to Spotify = algorithmic snowball. 4. Watch your song enter Release Radar, Discover Weekly, Radio, and more.If your popularity score hits 30+, you’re in the game.And if your stream-to-listener ratio is strong? Spotify keeps pushing. 5. 📌 The Bottom Line - You don’t need a viral TikTok. - You don’t need a record deal. - You just need a good song and the right strategy. Run ads with purpose. Drive targeted traffic. Let Spotify do the rest. 👉 Want to stop guessing and start dominating your next release?

W'S IN THE CHAT PLS🔥 This is How I Helped an Artist Go From 0 to 1.5M Streams On Just His Second Song Let me break this down real quick. I helped this artist go from literally zero monthly listeners to over 1.5 million streams on the second song he ever released. I’m gonna walk you through exactly how we did it — and I want you to save this video if you can’t watch it now, because this is real game. Free. When I met Alex, he had done nothing yet. I helped him put out his first single, but the journey really started from scratch with this next one. No buzz, no fanbase, nothing. And within a few months, we built something crazy. 1. Good Music First. Always. First thing I’ll say — and I’ll die on this hill — if the music isn’t good, nothing else matters. No strategy, no budget, no marketing trick can save a bad song. The music has to be at least palatable, if not great. I don’t even work with music I think is mid. I value my time and taste too much. 2. Budget Myth: You Don’t Need Loads of Money Too many artists think you need a massive budget to make things move. False. If anything, I start campaigns small to test what works — split testing, A/B testing — to find the best-performing content and audience. You’d be surprised what we can do with just $5 a day when the content hits. 3. Build Content Around Strengths Alex lived in LA, had a good voice, played guitar, made heartfelt acoustic music. I told him: go outside, set up a tripod, film yourself lip-syncing and playing guitar. That’s it. He did it. I took the footage, put it in CapCut, sped up the song slightly, added zooms and lyrics. Done. We tested ads using that simple content, and his first real single, Simple Highs, ended up getting around 50K streams. Not crazy viral, but amazing for someone starting from zero. 4. Test, Learn, Repeat Then he brought me his second track, Beautiful Lies. I said: “We’re doing the exact same thing.” Same style video, same process — but this time, with a small listener base already built, the results were even crazier. That’s when we really started to fly.
