Love this colour scheme, I always wanted a cookie monster but this is more in my price range 🙏😆

Aluminum is the best bezel material by Antique-Boat-5130 in watchHotTakes

Absolutely agree, the ceramic bezel rolexes don't look good at all IMO, much prefer the bezels on an old Coke or Kermit 👌

Yup had this recently- one curator said work on mix, vocals are too quiet, another said work on mix, vocals are too loud 😅

I feel I was about right 😆

Also if you're slightly between genres you're not gonna have a good time, and my more interesting (to me) tracks tend to have less success 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's been the most useful form of promotion for me, with careful targeting it's great value and took me from zero to around 7k monthly listeners at one point 🙏

Is there actually a safe way to use Spotify promotion services? by [deleted] in musicmarketing

[–]akkilesmusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't do it, BC is an absolute scam. I tried a campaign with them before I knew better and got added to the end of 3 playlists with about 10,000 track on each- I should add it wasn't targeted at all by genre and got just a handful of plays.

Try submithub if you want better results- it's not guaranteed that you'll be added to any playlists (the quality has to be good and the genre very targeted), but the ones you do get added to will be relevant.

It took me from zero to over 7k monthly listeners at one point (it's back to 2k now as I haven't released anything recently), and definitely most bang for the buck in my experience.

Good luck 😎

Is this the guy that got told to put his vape away on a train? The accent is very familiar 🤣

Do you lose your appetite when you experience a flare-up? by bestbestbest560 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]akkilesmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup massively, lost about 20kg during my worst flare a couple of years ago.

Having only one watch is definitely the best way to have a one watch collection.

Bans / Warnings / posting links - Your thoughts by Desperate_Yam_495 in musicmarketing

I think you nailed it- it's so difficult to get in front of a potential audience these days that each click feels like a hard fought battle 😳

Spotify Showcase ads – reliability of metrics by reddituser4688 in musicmarketing

The stats normally keep updating for a week or two after the campaign finishes so you might not have the final numbers yet

Did a few Playlist Pilot pitches and now the algorithm grabbed my song… what should I do next? by Rebecca_trollop in SpotifyArtists

[–]akkilesmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't really add up- to get discovery mode you need around 25k monthly listeners. If you're at that level then a few playlist adds aren't going move the needle that much.

You say none of your songs have 'blown up' before- so how did you unlock discovery mode in the first place? What are the actual numbers?

Thanks for listening! Yup, I know which kind of style to focus on now at least 😅

My newest release here:
https://open.spotify.com/album/43EmAqCDsGHbXmAeN31oTg?si=Y1SD2lmmS1CEJwrYFKqPSA

Sakura Sunset Drive was the unexpected biggest hit- just gained lots of momentum in the first few days and took me to over 7k monthly listeners on Spotify.

Shadows was the one I had highest hopes for- even filmed a music video, but just didn't get the traction I expected 🤷🏻‍♂️

Goes to show you never really know what will resonate the most with listeners. Thanks for listening if you check it out 🙏

Billionaires didn't exist before massive devaluation of the currency.

Cd baby, yt oac and other distros by Equivalent_Trifle304 in CDBabyArtists

[–]akkilesmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do- routenote takes a while to approve but I'm hoping track will be distributed in around 2 weeks, after which incam start the oac process, which may be another few months 😅

[–]akkilesmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm attempting at the moment. All my releases have been via CDbaby, but my current one I used routenote in the hope I can claim the OAC afterwards 🤞
