FAQ
What platforms do you offer?
Currently, we specialize in music marketing on four major platforms: Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, and TikTok.
How long does it take for my song to be placed on a playlist?
Upon ordering, our team of music marketers and data analysts will review the answers you've provided to the quiz. Additionally, they will analyze your Instagram account (if provided) and Spotify profile in order to gather information about your fans. We then utilize the data we gathered to find the perfect audience for your track.
This process is always completed within an hour after ordering, immediately after that we begin pitching your music to our curators (or influencers, if the campaign is a TikTok influencer promotion). From that point, it can take anywhere up to 48 hours for your song to be placed.
If preparing for a song release, we recommend placing the order ahead of the release so your campaign will begin close to the release.

How many streams can I expect?
Streaming results vary from artist to artist, it depends on a variety of factors; the quality of your song, how you engage with your fans, your re-targeting strategy, your brand positioning, etc.
However, all of our clients see an increase in streaming that correlates to the number of followers on the lists they are added to. The more followers you get exposed to, the more streams that you can generate.
Typically our artists see that around 34% of the followers who are exposed to their music end up streaming, so based on your package’s reach, this can be an easy calculation. Please keep in mind that these are estimates.

Are the streams organic?
To ensure each campaign is successful, our team frequently verifies the Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud playlist curators within our network to ensure they don’t use any malicious techniques to generate their listeners. We strictly prohibit them from delivering inorganic traffic to our artists.
Some steps we take to ensure the playlists in our network are organic include:• Using Chartmetrics we analyze the historical data of each playlist before we accept it into our network. If we notice any red flags such as unrealistic follower growth, inconsistent daily stream amounts, presence of pulled songs on the playlist, etc.. Then we do not allow the playlist into our network. • We interview each playlist curator over the phone before deciding to work with them or not. If we feel they don't have artists' best interests in mind, we will not work with them. • We listen to each playlist once before deciding whether or not to work with them. If a playlist has no unifying features, whether it be genre, mood, or vibe, then we do not accept it into our network. In our opinion, if a playlist is comprised of completely random songs then there is no realistic audience that would listen to it, and therefore the playlist is probably inorganic.
For TikTok, we have a similar vetting process for any influencers that wish to join our network. Our data analysts comb through their TikTok followers to ensure that the influencer is not utilizing "bot" followers.

Are the streams generated eligible for royalties and payments?
Yes.
For Spotify promotions the streams we deliver will come through your Spotify for artists account and are thus eligible for royalties. Make sure you are registered and you will be set for your payday.
Similarly, views gained from our YouTube promotion will be monetization eligible on the YouTube platform. Additionally, the views will be collected by Nielsen SoundScan and reported to Billboard, so each view will count towards billboard charts.
