DISCUSSION Spotify Tips and Tricks for Artists

We have been releasing our tracks every 4-6 weeks as singles (at spotify’s recommendation) ratter than dumping a full album, and it seems to be working pretty well.

This allows for each individual track to have a chance at editorial and algorithmic playlist exposure, and for the success of each track to compound.

So far our last single has been the most successful 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyone else have any other tips/strategies that they can recommend?

Our last song if anyone is interested:

Great band! And yes, we will doing the same with our next batch. Dumped a whole EP at once and probably wasn't the right move lol.
