If Viral Content Doesn't Drive Streams, Then What Does? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By Bailey Koozer, Founder of Social Strategy with Bailey It’s a random Tuesday. Your latest song is blowing up on TikTok, and your phone won’t stop buzzing with reactions. But when you open Spotify for Artists, it looks exactly the same as last week. That gap between attention and action is where most artists get stuck, so often. And closing it requires optimizing for a completely different metric than views. For independent artists posting their music online, the end goal is turning their viewe
Pennies Earned: Breaking Down the Impact of 'A Very Laufey Day' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to Pennies Earned, a column by Arielle Aslanyan of Pretty Penny PR on the subtle shifts that can make or break any publicity campaign, and how not to overlook opportunities hidden in plain sight.

Major Album Launches Are Leaving Streaming. What Will Bring Them Back? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Album marketing rollouts are moving to centre stage as a growing number of artists and labels incorporate interactive experiences into their digital album promotions. For example, with Olivia Rodrigo’s recent release you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, TikTok launched an in-app experience in which fans could complete themed missions, create edits with album-inspired templates, and view top videos within the fan community. Similarly, YouTube provided multiple interactive features for Taylo
