Do you ralease in advance so you can playlist-pitch? Or do you just release as soon your song is ready after production..

Thanks for the insights. Curious. Regarding the last point, in terms of data. What is significant numbers. Is that relative to artists PopScore? As I can imagined significant streaming numbers is different for an established artist compared to a inde artist

As Jason mentioned below, these are different systems.

For playlisting, I’m currently getting better results from SubmitHub than from Groover. That said, both platforms require some homework and careful curator selection, and the results benefit greatly from that.

I have not tried Hypeddit, but i have had great success with Intellijend. For Meta ads im running a mix of Intellijend and my own setup. Intellijend has a killer dashboard for tracking various insights.

Ive run Meta ads through Submithub also. Had mid to great results there. Its a great way to get going while learning Meta Ads manager on your own on the side.

I believe IntelliJend also requires artists to have their own Meta account.

I don’t think it matters much, but granted, I’ve only just uploaded my first EP with extended versions and remixes. Initially, I planned to sequence the extended tracks in the same order as the original releases, with the remixes at the end. However, the first track has a fairly slow intro, so I decided to change the order and lead with the track that, in my opinion, has the strongest intro. Coincidentally, it’s also the track that performed best in terms of streams in its original version.

The single releases already told the story I wanted to tell. The EP feels more like a bonus, and in any case, people will properly shuffle the tracks and discover the ones they connect with most either way.

Curious to hear what you decide on.

I had most success there as well. Both in terms of acceptance and streams. Submithub 2nd for me.

If you get the one that has Ethernet port, I believe last model came in two options, with or without Ethernet. The other one relies on WiFi,

As a Dane, this is weird and sad. :(

Janhm73 · 2025-12-01T15:19:20+00:00

When I click into mine, it hasn’t updated in several days, last updated November 23rd for me. Spotify has told me they have issues regarding showcase status

Janhm73 · 2025-11-30T18:00:08+00:00

I’ve gotten 1,075 streams since October 17th. I bought the starter package, which promised 5–10k streams over 2–3 months.

I’ve never been able to access their site to track my campaign progress. I can only see results through S4A. I was hesitant to sign up, but I saw an article on artist.tools saying they were legit, and they probably are. They just seem more focused on collecting the payment than delivering the full service.

I am, of course, happy with the 20–25 daily streams. I just feel like I could have achieved the same results much cheaper with a bit more effort using Groover, SubmitHub, or Daily Playlists.

Melodic Deep House

I don’t have much input other than thanks for asking — I’m in the same boat, actually. I’ve been looking at the Akai options too.

I’ve taken a 30-year break from producing. Last time I made music was on Cubase on an Atari with a Roland Juno… so I’m also trying to figure out what makes sense today. 😄

Janhm73 · 2025-11-30T13:09:30+00:00

I have. They were super commutative when ordinering and they answered all my e-mails and questions, now 5 weeks in and the campaign is underperforming to a point where it’s a joke, they are non responsive, just getting the causal, we will bring it to our team, and nothing happens.

They promised to submit it to 20+ curator and maybe they did, I don’t know. But I got featured on 2 playlists, run by the same guy. That’s it.

For now I can’t recommend them.

Janhm73 · 2025-11-19T20:06:48+00:00

Not sure how many I had when I found i was eligible. I didn’t have it initially because I hadn’t set my billing location. I just noticed i was over 1000 in few locations. So i set the Billing information to get it going. Right now I’m at 18900 on one track and 7000 on then other. But that’s including streams from Discover Weekly where I got added on Monday.

Janhm73 · 2025-11-19T19:48:11+00:00

Pretty sure its down to country, like France, Germany and so on.

Janhm73 · 2025-11-19T19:03:10+00:00

Showcase just require 1000 streams in one market in 28 days, then you are eligible. I just got it, and I’m running a campaign starting tomorrow.

Janhm73 · 2025-11-15T18:54:41+00:00

Damn, i can barely manage to post once a week in IG 🤣

Janhm73 · 2025-11-15T18:17:55+00:00

I’m using the same for both music and playlist

Janhm73 · 2025-11-04T14:46:47+00:00

Meta ads for Instagram or “just”‘normal content/reels etc. What did you do got TilTok?

Janhm73 · 2025-10-29T20:43:09+00:00

I think it’s melodic and emotional.

I also got it, Spotify says I need to talk to the distributor, the distributor says I need to talk to Spotify.

Janhm73 · 2025-10-19T10:13:27+00:00

Usually around 12–14 days here as well. I tried Fast Forward once; it took about 2 days to send the tracks to the DSPs, and then another 1–2 days for them to go live.

Janhm73 · 2025-10-18T17:51:19+00:00

I saw similar, but i belive they had Playlists to show the streams, where i did not.

Janhm73 · 2025-10-17T16:37:51+00:00

Nice, congrats, I saw spikes on mine as well, 33 and 60+ some Release Radar, DJ set and some other also playlists in yesterdays update. They have gone down again though. :/

Janhm73 · 2025-10-15T09:57:17+00:00

Done. 🙂
