The Challenge
Lo-fi and ambient music largely lives or dies on playlist placement rather than individual searches, and with minimal streaming history, tracks weren't getting considered for either algorithmic or curated placements.
The Approach
A streams and monthly-listeners boost applied to the strongest release gave it enough traction to be a plausible playlist candidate, and outreach to independent curators became noticeably more successful once backed by credible numbers. Several curated playlist adds followed within two months.
Services Used
“A 200,000-follower study-focus playlist added one of my tracks, something curator outreach alone had never gotten anywhere with before.”
