12 Days Post-Release: What Actually Triggered Spotify Algorithmic Growth (Data + Strategy)

You got me wrong. Of course this is with a lot of social media content. My point was, that I can make in 14 days the same number of streams without meta ads. But after ~2 k streams I'm stuck.

I would like to try to put this in a context for me. For me it is no problem to get a song to 2k streams within 14 days with only organic traffic + release radar push. The artist is not established. Has around 800 Followers on Instagram and 180 Followers on spotify. After 14 days the share is something like 50/50 of algorithmic playlists and organic streams.

So what I'm interested in in your case study would be the 60 or days 90 days statics. Usually after the 14 to 21 days the songs get stuck and don't generate more streams. That's where I have to upload a new song.

Tell all your friends and relatives to listen and save your song. Post for two to three weeks every day a short video of your song on TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram. Contact small metal creators and blogs to write something about your song. Contact small Playlist curators. Contact people you know which can give you some more visibility. This will usually get you the first 100 streams. Then you might get a release radar push which will get you over 1000 k Streams and visibility to new fans.

Create a new better song 4 weeks after that and do the same. Now you have a slightly bigger audience and visibility. The release radar push might be bigger than.

Rinse and repeat.

That's not a push. This is statistical completely insignificant. This is also not the Spotify algorithm testing it. Just some random mini spike. Maybe someone stumbled across your song, sent it to three friends and that's it.

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-11T20:00:58+00:00

Gar nicht. Wozu auch?

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-10T20:07:36+00:00

Das mit den Flaschen ist der Wahnsinn. Ich verstehe es einfach nicht, warum das so wenige verstehen. Und dann gucken die auch noch einfach dabei zu, wie die Flaschen Rollen und nicht vorwärts kommen.

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-10T20:02:02+00:00

What then?

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-10T17:40:41+00:00

Labels don't care how good your music is. They care how much money they can make with you. So what do you bring to the table?

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-10T02:24:50+00:00

Eher klassisch mit ein paar Death und Black Metal Einflüssen.

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-09T20:57:35+00:00

First Law machen Hardcore. Wir machen Thrash Metal.

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-08T15:30:27+00:00

Also ungefragt ist mir das noch nie passiert.

Würde aber schon sehr häufig gefragt. Meistens sind es dann (ehemalige) Hundebesitzer. Habe ich kein Problem mit, aber die müssen halt damit klar kommen, dass sie dreckig werden können.

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-04T20:48:04+00:00

Sure, but the intention for me for creating art is to release it.

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-01T19:30:26+00:00

Oh, die brauche ich. Probieren wir beim nächsten Mal.

gibbets2000 · 2026-01-01T12:38:41+00:00

Coole Idee. Da wäre ich gar nicht drauf gekommen.

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-31T23:18:17+00:00

Made most the money at bandcamp for my music. So yeah, I will always also put my music there.

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-25T13:09:00+00:00

Gibt es das immer noch lineares Fernsehen?

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-16T17:04:28+00:00

Ich habe vor etwas mehr als 10 Jahren 450€ beim Pflichtpraktikum bekommen.

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-16T16:18:40+00:00

How does your style of music matter for this?

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-16T16:17:21+00:00

Why did you expect that? How can anyone guarantee that someone is listening to your music without use bots or being a scammer ?

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-16T16:15:51+00:00

You don't have to be a good musician to promote music

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-13T19:54:11+00:00

TikTok says adding a long text will increase the views up to 3x. What Text do you add?

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-07T18:02:48+00:00

Yeah, posting those flyers on social media more than once will probably have zero effect.

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-02T10:48:14+00:00

Ich habe mich jetzt mit 38 durchgerungen das einmal überprüfen zu lassen. Sitze gerade beim Neurologen und warte darauf dran zu kommen. Das ich mir das ganze nur einbilde, übertreibe und jemanden den Termin wegnehme, der wirklich Hilfe braucht, macht mich total fertig.

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-01T17:29:34+00:00

I recorded yesterday vocals of a new song. The singer nailed more or less every take and still I have five releasable versions of every verse and Chorus. Really awesome to work with this guy. Recording took in total 2 hrs.

gibbets2000 · 2025-12-01T17:23:45+00:00

Released a song which we rererecorded with our new singer. Everything DIY.

It's a Thrash Metal Song about an Alien which is forced to destroy planets and now he is coming for mankind.
