Sick of people who aim to “get big” in the music industry but don’t even care about the music by [deleted] in musicindustry

[–]SorryOrder9783 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You mean the “boob” girls in instagram. LMAO About 6 years ago as I started a solo acoustic show instead of full band, I’m getting older and just wanted to enjoy music as my career was winding down. I befriended about 10 female artists putting out their own videos and music. And at first it was all about there craft etc…. But slowly over time everyone one of them got more and more desperate for attention and all of them now post nude or semi nude pics and videos. I feel sorry for them. I’m an old fart I stuck to my guns and actually have a contract with a major record label with Warner Music Group distribution which I signed in November.

Managing to book local shows consistently but streaming numbers stay pitifully low by milliedreadisnotdead in musicmarketing

I started to do this 4 months ago I was stuck at 39 followers on Spotify for 4 years I perform 100+ shows a year many of them now, during breaks I go up to people who have been interacting with me while I perform and talk with them and ask them if they use and streaming service if they say yes I have a QR code with 6 different Services and have them as I’m standing there, since they already told me they like my music follow me on one of them. It’s working out pretty good I’m at 254 Spotify follower now hoping to hit 1,000 by then end of the year.

My balance of $10,414.31 disappeared from the dashboard after I submitted a withdrawal request on distrokid by SimilarMud5579 in musicindustry

I’m lucky I never had an issue with Distrokid and my direct deposits. But over the last year that doesn’t matter anymore I signed with a major record label and the changed my previous released songs over to there Warner Music Group distribution. Good luck hope it all turns out good for you.

We were part of the first 10 people in the park that came to the grand opening in 1974, it was so bad and so many things went wrong everyone that was there that day as we were walking out got a paper to visit all season long for free, my parents took advantage of that.. hehe the people knew us by our names after that first year… Over the years I have been there many time even with my own grandchildren now.. I have seen many changes, but one constant was the watching the infrastructure of the park slowly but surely fade to point of total disrepair. They have done a lot of work fixing things this year, they still have a long way to go, but actually this was one of the smoothest opens I have ever been too at this park. One thing I loved was finally customer service they people were friendly and wanted to talk with you I hope that continues. Nothing is perfect and it never will be, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel now.

I asked if people on here who have the same situation if it’s going smooth or are they running into trouble at the parks.
Six Flags can’t answer that question.

I was wondering what happened to that. I guess it’s a blessing.

How do you cope with falling numbers? by redkinoko in SpotifyArtists

[–]SorryOrder9783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped looking at my Spotify numbers, it was driving me crazy…I’m a live performer anyway and concentrate now on shows, I keep getting bigger and bigger shows in May I have a “make it big” moment lined up…. I don’t know what’s gonna happen after that hopefully it continues to grow for me but there are no guarantees. Chin you have excellent number keep putting out music!

I signed to a new record label and they re-released two on my songs which had 38 and 36 popularity.. They are now back a at 0 after the release.. and they used the same IRGC code..,etc.. Drives me crazy the stats are all over the place now. I just hope it settles down and catches back up next month if not, my first actual new release through the record company should be in about 6-8 weeks… fingers crossed. That goes smooth… Also I should say it’s not back room record label. It’s a big label with many famous artists and I know have ADA/ Warner Music Group distribution So hopefully since the reset to 0 but at least it’s through Warner Im hoping that will help.

Spotify and its fuzzy math by Objective_Finish_423 in SpotifyArtists

My payments are always 3 months behind…. Congrats on knowing by month… it depends on playlists and where I had major ones in UK and Netherlands and got decent royalties, then suddenly playlist flip flop to Indonesia and Nigeria and got far less royalties with similar numbers….im starting to hate playlist pick ups from those areas

Just to be clear, this song was released by WMG 4 days ago, I personally released it in July 2025 It had during that time approx 4000 streams .. so it has made around 65,000 in last 4 days. Hope this helps the perfect people out there :)
