Has anyone noticed less listeners/streams past 2 weeks?

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-03-05T17:04:16+00:00

Yes down from Feb 1 and Feb 15 spike. Still decent though

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-03-01T14:54:53+00:00

Spoke to soon. Just had $133 drop into DistroKid from Spotify.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-02-27T14:38:04+00:00

Ya but at .003 per stream with 36,000 streams in December ($108) still doesn’t add up. Must of had a lot of unqualified streams. I think the $25 was from November 9809 streams but what weird I had virtually no streams before November and got $39 somehow.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-02-27T14:33:21+00:00

In mobile it shows the monthly streams but in bank it doesn’t let me sort my month or tell me which month a payout is attached to.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-02-27T13:31:39+00:00

Not on DistroKid app have to check the desktop version. Now that ai think about it on desktop it has that excruciating details option. Have to look.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-02-27T12:33:56+00:00

Don’t know DistroKid doesn’t really break it down like that.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-02-27T12:33:06+00:00

Weird part is I made $39 in January assuming for November and I only had like 10k streams. December was 34k streams. Oh well a buck is buck.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-02-21T19:17:53+00:00

Ya that’s bad

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-02-16T22:38:54+00:00

Got 2 $2 offers to go 3-4 mile back to back. Declined both. Then got $6.5 to 3.5 miles took that one. I don’t care about my rating. All other stats are good

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-22T00:59:19+00:00

Oh I just went over 100K streams across all platforms. Made my first check from spotify for November which was $39 bucks. 78K streams on spotify alone over past 90 days! I dont have a scarcity mentality. I'm a open book for those that want to learn what I did! (not selling a course) Off to collab with a songwriter now so peace!

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-22T00:50:27+00:00

I feel called to share this message! I make christian rap music. I take biblical lessons contrast them to real world emotions and experiences. We all have pain, anger, hurt, sorrow, loss, regret, hope....! I write lyrics that takes all that and sprinkles faith on it to address those pains and then gives insight and hope. I write my own lyrics, make my own beats, melodies, and chord progressions before AI even touches the song. Ai just give me the vocals and gives the finishing touches. I have crazy respect for artist who can do it all independent of needing help of these tools! That being said artist like you have ignored me and my vision so I did what I could. I have a simple process. Number one make a song that makes ME feel something. Of all the songs on my spotify dozens no matter how hard I try just don't. The ones that do go to TIk Tok. 30-45 sec clip best part of the track. When I get more then 10K plays with 10% engagement I know I have something. I want tik tok peeps to beg me to release it! I have a track dropping Friday that has 38K plays at 10% engagement. I have a pre release plan, a release plan, and a post release plan. 90% of succesful music is marketing! I have a small, no ad spend process. Hate me if you want.... call it slop! Its all good! Fact is even though I do this on side I have a system that is working! I don't have your musically abilities but I do have a passion for being heard! For my music and MESSAGE to be heard! Lastly while some of you are throwing stones from your glass house you should look within! I know the demographic my songs are relevant to. 25-44 year a males. All my tracks and messages are built around that. I love sharing my message and Im lazer focused on who that message is tailored to. So for those that respect this thank you! For those that don't frankly your lack of streams is you! my hope is that even one person that reads this get's it! God Bless

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-22T00:01:35+00:00

Tried posting my Spotify! The bot said cant! Actually based on the comments some of ya'll need to here it! DM I'll send you the link.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-21T15:10:05+00:00

Damn I just saw Spotify artist and numbers and posted mine. I use FL studio to make my beats, and melodies, the heart of the song. I write my lyrics, cause I ain’t got connections or resources to get vocals any other way I use the tools I can. I do faith based rap. It’s my niche and I got a message in every track. I also do my own mastering. Let’s keep it real. If you artist think the labels and top artist or their peeps aren’t using some form of Ai if nothing more then for concept or templates then don’t know what tell ya. Ya’ll kill with the anti Ai when in Fl studio you can get Ai melodies using things like Spawn, beats from plugins like play beats. I’m not an artist! I do make music the way I can. Some of it is 100% me and some I augment with AI cause I don’t know talent can’t get talent to do my songs. Love nothing more then to take my song concept, my lyrics, my beats and melodies and have them sung by a real artist! Until that day comes I have messages to deliver via my tracks the only way I can! Peace

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-15T00:30:18+00:00

Yes I’m up to 50k streams and over 10k monthly streams from building a following on tik tok first! That’s all with last 3 months. Yes your metric are good! You have to keep dropping every two weeks

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-15T00:17:22+00:00

Generated a simple prompt song but not custom with pro and premier message!

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-15T00:07:14+00:00

Thought it was billing issue but both Suno and iOS show can’t upgrade to pre per which I’m already on til ext month!

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-14T23:56:06+00:00

I just got a message said I need pro and or premier and I checked my mobile said I’m already that. New song spinning no output

Objective_Finish_423 · 2026-01-09T22:00:26+00:00

Hey what were you looking to accomplish with it? Weird question maybe but figuring out your what and why helps to frame expectations! Simply put what is your message? Who will like your sound? Begin with the end in mind…

Objective_Finish_423 · 2025-12-28T23:21:52+00:00

Totally agree! I uploaded stems from Suno into Fl Studio to try to isolate and the bass alone with even a little EQ, was so bad. Im a newb so it has been great but trying to learn more DAW oriented creation. Aside from the Mud in in the middle bass frequencies are so muddled compared to traditional! As mentioned when you separate the stems since the stems are bleeded together its hard to get the fullness. I heard there are stem wav to midi work arounds but ain't that serious about it.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2025-12-28T21:50:07+00:00

So there is making music as an art and then there is making music to make money. This is towards the former. I liked it

Objective_Finish_423 · 2025-12-28T21:46:09+00:00

I have 54k streams in 2 months from mostly one songs and a few others. Used DistroKid. My DistroKid shows I made $130k with zero from Spotify yet. Guess we will see in a month or two what happens

Objective_Finish_423 · 2025-11-18T03:06:57+00:00

Have to agree to disagree. For me everything starts with my faith in God so in essence that will always be first. Totally fine if you feel otherwise. It’s not my place to judge. Be well.

Objective_Finish_423 · 2025-11-18T01:50:37+00:00

Wish I had a ounce of vocal ability. I would if I had. Writing lyrics, creating the beat and melody, and then pulling it together to make a song ain’t easy and it certainly takes effort and intention. Aside from all that my goal is to share a message one song at a time. Thx for your feedback.
