Thanks for the shout out for Musicstax! Glad you find it of use 😊
You’re doing god’s work! Keep up the great work I use it everyday to show musicians things
Spoiler: it all has to do with consistency and making quality music people will add to their playlist. Every release I drop now gets thousands of streams from release radar since I’ve built up about 10k followers on Spotify. I get every release on discover weekly as well but the numbers fluctuate, they push some releases more than others. I’ve had my music on these algorithmic playlists as well as radio for years, and I only recently started submitting to editorial. So submitting to editorial doesn’t change anything. It’s all based on user behavior and listening trends. Make good music that targets your audience, stay consistent and Spotify will start to throw you into the algorithm. I’ve released 50+ songs (1-2 per month) consistently on Spotify for years. Some people will reach broader audiences than me with this type of consistency. I never once did paid playlist promotions or anything of that nature btw. Spotify likes when you’re consistent, similar to TH-cam but it’s a bit more rewarding in my opinion. That’s just my personal experience as an artist with no label funding team etc. if you’re an artist reading this, be ready to commit to make a career out of music. It doesn’t come easy and takes years and years unless you somehow have really good connections
Agreed about the consistency
Amazing information thank you for sharing this I will try this and I like what you said. You submit every song for consideration
Thank you for taking the time to share this comment.
it's great to hear that you are growing consistently in this way, i have similar experiences and this is a great reminder for upcoming artists, thank you Yng Hstlr! - LaynoProd
Bro I'm curious if you drop a song how many streams do you normally get from release radar and then how long does it take before you then get into discover weekly. And then lastly, how many streams do you get from discover weekly?
Thanks for all your videos Jesse - your points on getting into TH-cam 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
😎
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!!
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
😎
Hey Jesse! I finally got my first few songs on Release Radar and other playlists! Thanks for your insight and tips.
Hell yeah
Dude sick let it enfold you plaque. Thanks for all the information you provide :)
i was waiting for this honestly
Hell yeah
This is gold. How am I just now hearing about this
🤷♂️
Nice tool. Thanks
Always interesting listening to this stuff with the new knowledge you gave us - 80% of spotify uploads have less than 5k plays haha
🤷♂️
Amazing info!! Thank you
🕺🏼
your humor 😆 also, thanks for GREAT info
Holy crap.. Musicstax is pure gold... thanks for the tips!
It’s really good
This is gold 😂😭🔥🔥🔥
🕺🏼
The man is a legend
😎
Thanks Jesse
Hell yeah
Is there a step by step course you have for personally helping an artist available? Love your stuff bro 🙏
You are golden
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 🤞🏼
How did it go?
@@leadsfurnace1349 we’re sitting at almost 20k monthly listeners; over 50k on that release and over 20k in the last month our or most recent release
@@TrentonFletcherMusic nice work man, my stats are similar. So that release you dropped like 3 months ago when you posted this comment went from 4.6k > 50k, that's dope. How many of those streams were algorithmic? My song i dropped 5 weeks ago has like 40k and popularity score of 40% but hasn't got any algorithmic love...
I really appreciate the time you take to share this awesome info. I jumped the gun on my first release, didn’t pitch it or do any pre-promo and missed out on the opportunity for a release radar placement. I did manage to get my popularity score to 43% via playlists and Facebook ads. My song got on discover weekly, but didn’t get much streams and fell off after a week. I’m wondering if this is salvageable. Is discover weekly sometimes an off and on thing?
its salvagable, discover weekly is purely based on pop score. So if you get it back up to 43 it will get back on DW, it might take a few weeks though before it happens. If you hit the algorithm a few times, but it keeps falling off, it means that the song is either not strong enough or you didnt target it correctly.
It’s more like after it’s there it’s all about how much people engage and that has a lot of variables
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.
Based music choice jesse
😎
‘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 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)
Yo Jesse, unrelated to this video, but what is your opinion on twitch streaming, specifically for solo artists who've decided that they don't want to tour? I've heard mixed things, some people swear by it, some say it's not worth your time. It would be sweet if you could make a video on the subject!
But can we get a tutorial on Facebook ads ? Fire emoji x 5... Love these Jesse , never stop being the chillest music marketing teacher 🤙 been here since 3 setups ago 💚
Lol hell yeah
@@Musformation yes please 🙏🏾🔥
Andrew Southworth has the Facebook ad tutorials. I know how to do them but it’s a little hypocritical for me to do one seeing as I say not to use them
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 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..
Really good content always on point 👌 what is the best way to find my niche?
I have a whole video to find that on how to find what you sound like
@@Musformation I would like to see that video and learn more about that
Highly amused to discover that Spotify have given basically my entire catalogue at 4% 'postiveness' rating...anyway, this was very useful, thank you!
🤷♂️
God damn lol, i average about 40/60% but it is interesting to see
@@Darwinedm apparently my music is just really miserable?
@@jdrobertsambient thats fine tho, there are fans for every type of music out there
@@Darwinedm Oh absolutely, compoletely agree with you there, I was just surprised, because I see my music as calm, rather than depressing. It's ambient, not emo, y'know?
Have you talked about what to do if your just started a band? Like no one knows you exist.
Release music with no fans? Play show with no music Released ??? Just ordered your books . Cool stuff man love you
Yeah a few weeks ago I made that video
@@Musformation fuck yeah!!! just found it music project from scratch goat
Great video, my only issue with Spotify, most of my artist followers and people in her community are Apple Music listener. When they go to Spotify, they hate the free platform because they can’t choose the artist song, and get random plays from other artists.
Tip send free users to a playlist that has all your songs on it. When free users play that, they will 100% get one of your tracks and not random artists.
Yep
Thanks Jesse! Fun fact: Kid Laroi's "Stay" has 97% pop index lol
Wow!!!!
I think everything you said is right on the money when it comes to Discover Weekly OR being put into the Release Radar of someone who doesn't follow you.
However, from my own anecdotal data, I'm fairly certain that if you submit your song early enough to Spotify's editors then it will be put in ALL your follower's Release Radar. This doesn't mean they will all listen to it but it will at least be in the playlist. From there, if the song does well it will start to show up in non-follower Release Radars to fill in the gaps if that listener's followed artists didn't have enough releases in that week.
😎
i’ve watched this 3 times now ahah
Hell yeah
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?
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
HERE'S COMES THAT FEELING YOU SHOULD NEVER LET IT GO
🕺🏼
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.
My latest video may help
@@Musformation Thanks, just watched it.
How would you suggest increasing your score for songs that are already released?
TikTok but also watch my video on back catalog marketing
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❤️🔥
my popularity score is 38 and still barely any algorithm love. plus, i pitched my record 5 weeks in advance. there's truly no correct answer for how the algorithm works, it's weird.
Interesting I think unfortunately it’s often about how crowded the genre is at the time.
My advice is to keep the popularity score high and wait. Sometimes it can take several weeks for DW to kick in. I knew someone who had a massive DW after his song was out for 1 year, even he said it was pretty random.
I keep hearing Tik Tok is the way, but after creating daily tik toks getting only 200 views each, its no longer a platform I care anything for. I got my algorithm up solely by using ads, which I know is something you frown apon.
🤷♂️
Ads work great, it's really weird he's against them but he promotes using playlists which are terrible for getting actual fans. Ppl just passively listen to playlists.
I got over thirty listeners a day for the past three days running one ad for six bucks daily
@@wormsali the official reason is the wrong "type" of fan, which is partially correct because those people who are going to like and listen are going to do that with lots of artists. But agree if you target properly you can ride DW and RR algorithms with ads, get "real" listeners who love your music and save your song, which I seem to be doing now on every release.
Dope video! Question: If a popularity score and first day engagement is what gets us on DW and RR, this could bolster the argument for posting snippets of songs. I.e. if people ALREADY enjoy the song from the snippets they're much more likely to listen to the song all the way through and add to playlists when it drops.
You’re saying snippets post release or pre release? Also why post a snippet when a link to the song is more effective?
@@Musformation 1) pre-release (I know you advise against it), because if people hear it 1+ times before it drops, they will know if they want to play it or not when it drops. 2) snippets give people an idea of the song before they stream it. this will send more engaged listeners to your song, theyll listen longer and save it. With a liink, people don't know what to expect, and are thus more likely to skip the song before it ends.
Everything pre release is a missed opportunity you can just do it afterwards. A snippet in a IG story or grid sure obviously on TikTok but twitter or FB just Link the song
@@paretomusic7495Lol this is exactly right. I mean look at the underground.
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.
independent artist here who released her first single looking out for good advice, thank you :)))
I play local artist's music on repeat. I wonder if it helps their discoverability.
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
what if my music publisher handles adding my music into Spotify, do I have a chance to make it onto those playlists?
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.
Go to my channel page and watch the guide on how to find your community. That covers it
My 2nd release is at 23% popularity score, what do you see is the normal for getting on editorial playlist ?
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.
What if you have a song that is older and all of a sudden starts doing better? My band has a song that we released back in September. It was completely ignored and had six (yes six) streams up until February … it has gotten almost 2,000 streams since then and popularity score is 17% (which is the highest we’ve ever been). Should we try to promote it or just try something else due to its age?
Yeah that’s a good sign look at your analytics and see what’s getting attention and double down
@@Musformation Yup! Not for nothing, that was also the around the time I started seriously watching your channel and tailoring it to what we do. Started making themed playlists on Reddit and including a track or two of ours in there . Helps to have 20 years of back catalogue lol ! My daughter/bandmate said we should do a few covers and put them in there. Boom that did the trick . Now our originals are doing well. Went from instrumentals to songs with vocals. I’m almost 44 and had 2 strokes, never been a singer, went from using loops to learning keyboard and bass. Then all of a sudden the stuff we did in the 2000s that was too “weird”starts getting plays. Crazy times. Point is, you never know . One thing I do know…certainly didn’t happen from Facebook ads !
Hell yeah
my baby don't mess around ...because she loves me so ...this I know fo sho .... lol...
Lol
Hey, my second release is doing “pretty well” right now. The release is about 1.5 months in and the track is at 11.5K streams and a 31% popularity score. For the first time I hit discover weekly last week and this week but only for a total of 40 streams. Any idea if there’s any hope of getting a more significant push this late into the release? Thanks for the great video man!
Plenty of things you can do to keep pushing go to my channel page and watch the guide on how to get people to notice your music
Perspective changer 🖤🫶
Thanks so much!
I’d like to know what you think about Damien Keyes’ last video where he contradicts at least two things you said (and for the record I take your word over his), and they are 1) Damien Keyes says the artist is more important than the music and 2) artists should focus more on new fans than ones they already have… again, I take your word over his because I simply think you know more what you’re talking about, but would like to hear your response
I’m sure the research assistant that writes his videos for him after they google things and paraphrase from other peoples books really believed that after the few hours they took writing the video for him. But i cant say I watched the video to totally refute it but it sounds as bad as the normal analysis over there.
@@Musformation thanks for straightening that out for me!
Anyone else who had to witch from spotify to TH-cam 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 TH-cam music algorithm the same as my spotify
If you need more personalized advice go to my website and email us
@@Musformation I'm good it's just a hassle making the switch you know I got way to used to the algorithm
Would love to set up a call!
There’s a link in the description
so new releases dont get into release radar until after at least a week if not more?
Not totally the case but more often than not yes
how do we get on discover or radar if the music is not released in the past month?
Only way you a to up your popularity score
I can't believe u listen to Bladee :0

Thoughts on Crest overall bro?
Some real amazing moments but falls off as it goes
@@Musformation Yeah TFIR is a great opening but it just kinda trickled down and then off towards ending
ecco2k in the background hahahha
awesome
I have no problem getting in discovery weekly. My problem is STAYING on discover weekly
😎
I commented earlier on this, to stay you need to keep your pop score high over a longer period of time. If you get DW, your pop score can still eventually slip below 30. You need to keep that fire burning. Also, Ive seen artists get on DW after many weeks of trying, then not see it again for a few weeks and then it randomly comes back.
My songs are all actually really good mmmm
hmmm...both my songs are >30% in popularity but still am not on algorithmic playlists!

I just dropped a song with Coi leray and it’s got almost 20k in 2weeks from release radar, and i submitted it a few days before it’s released
I wanna reach out to you so we can talk about the track privately
Hey there I just released my song called Electro and it says that it is in Spotify’s algorithmic playlist….I don’t understand how it got there..,could u pleas help me?
What if you don’t have a starring fan base
Hi
🕺🏼
This is completely unrelated to the video but... Is making relatable tweets and posting them on other social media sites to connect with my tribe, corny?
Nooooo it’s what younneed to do watch my guide to telling stories around your music. It’s on my channel page
@@Musformation I will do that and study it like gospel lol
@Musformation // Jesse Cannon Hey Jesse! How does posting a visualizer help retain audience attention? I'm wondering if I should make a visualizer or a lyric video or do both and post it on TH-cam. Thanks for reading!
It’s a reason to call attention to yourself. If your song has lyrics do a lyric video of not visualized.
TIKTOK is not available in india 😔
I made it to Release Radar what should I do nexr
Watch the playlist in the pinned comment
using ecco2k as an example in your other video? the flag is raised on spotify in the background? you have my undivided attention sir.

Find your community is crusial nothing work out till U done this part.
That’s right
1% popularity AHAHAHAA FUCK work needs to be done
🤦♂️
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, TH-cam, FAcebook, mailouts etc etc in 24 hours means spam or overkill if they are multi-subbed. So surely better to space out a bit ?
