Thirtyseconds.
That's how long your song has before the algorithm decides whether anyone else hears it.
Play the first thirty seconds
0:18 · most listeners are gone
Most listeners decide in the first ten to thirty seconds. A high early skip rate tells Spotify to stop showing the track.
Skip rate is the signal most artists never look at.
Saves and repeat listens carry far more weight than raw plays. A thousand plays with two hundred saves beats ten thousand plays with ten.
Saves are what turn one release into the next one being pushed.
You can't pitch Discover Weekly or Release Radar. Every follower you gain means your next release lands in their Release Radar automatically.
Followers are the closest thing to owning your audience on streaming.
Buying streams gets tracks pulled, costs a fine per track, and teaches the algorithm that nobody real is listening.
Spotify charges distributors for tracks flagged as artificial, and distributors pass it on.
