Finally hit 1m streams a month after becoming for active on Tiktok and Facebook
Been on Spotify for a year and a half. Had a hit song before but the wave died earlier this year. Started releasing reels of old songs this month and did well on FB and tiktok (more on FB, where we've grown from 10k to 310k) and we finally broke 7 digits on Spotify. Can't say it's easy since editing, scheduling, and engagement were a bitch but the result is satisfying.
The most hilarious things is that songs that didn't do well initially are the ones going parabolic. I guess that's just life.
Our YT channel also got a massive lift since we released there too.

Anybody else get the new Google Search Profile email?
Not sure if this is a new thing or if I'm getting this just now. Pretty nifty so I can control which videos people can click when searching for my channel

Growing up, my mom told me I only needed to get good at two subjects: Math and English—which worked well for me because it allowed me to move and work in the US. That’s really far… considering how flat the Earth is.
context: I'm a Filipino immigrant in the US

Has the updated rolled out for everyone? My view count hasn't changed significantly and I can't seem to find the "engaged views" metric.

This is probably the best single release performance I've ever had.
Started regularly posting reels on Facebook and Tiktok this month and got 200k followers on FB and 35k followers on tiktok so far, so that momentum probably helped.
Released a music video a week prior (Aug 5) on FB reels/YT/Tiktok before releasing the single.
No ad spending.

Why does the updated dashboard graph have negative numbers for views and watchtime? How does that even happen
Nothing important. Just thought it's weird

I finally found where to get song usage data for reels on Facebook.
For the longest time I got royalties from FB reels but couldn't find numbers like how it's done on Tiktok for Artists dashboard. FB/IG has been my biggest income generator so I was always curious about my numbers there.
I found out just today they have a dashboard for that.
If you have an FB page associated with the band name, you can go to the Professional Dashboard , scroll to the bottom to the Other section and then select Music Insights. You'll see how many reels have used your songs, which songs, and how many plays the reels have gotten.
The wild part here is I don't remember ever associating my songs to my FB page, which isn't even Meta verified.
Anyway, just sharing in case youve been wondering.

Social media promotion is the way to go.
Released our EP Aug 5. By Aug 7 it only had 250 daily streams, which is painfully low for an EP.
Then we did a coordinated push using old recordings, behind the scenes, even life updates on Tiktok and FB starting Aug 7. A few reels on FB and 1 reel on tiktok picked up, with the best performing one at 3.5m views, and now all our music, even the older releases, on Spotify started picking up.
Zero ads.

I'm trying to meet more women organically so people suggested I join groups that have more women than men. I don't think it's working too well for me coz I just got kicked out of my third breastfeeding support group.
I feel like I'm getting discriminated because there are other males in those groups. Is it because I'm Asian, and they're babies?

The mayor of St Paul MN was recently accused of sending sexual innuendo emails and engaging in locker room talk at work.
She's also the first ever first-generation Asian immigrant to become mayor in our state and as a fellow immigrant, it made me shake my head and think of just one thing:
Damn.
We really are taking white people's jobs.

DICE, I don't think all skins need badass names. We can just call this "blue uniform". We won't mind.
The unearthly terror of standard color BDUs, I guess?

I haven't dated in a long time so I don't know the terms people use nowadays
The woman I was on a date with told me, “I’m an INFJ. What are you?”
I didn’t know what that meant, so I said, “AT&T.”
She said, “No, I mean your personality.”
I said, “Oh… then I guess I’m more of a Verizon.”
----------
Apparently, she was talking about the Myers-Briggs personality test.
Which is actually pretty useful. It helps you quickly figure out whether your date... believes in stupid personality tests.
She didn’t laugh.
This is why I don’t date AT&Ts.

DICE, please let us disable the TIER UP notification. It's incredibly distracting.

I took an art class with nude models, but I never got to finish. The instructor look at what I was doing and kicked me out for masturbating.

What's a relatively common skill in your country/region that might not apply for the rest of the world?
Like in my country, cooking rice without using a rice cooker is something everybody is expected to know.
I wanted to also say driving manual transmission but I think it's still very common outside countries like the US.

Is it normal for saves in an album release to be almost the same for every song? I do have a dedicated following, but sometimes I wonder if this is just bot action because it's also happened in previous releases.

My Kindle got stolen at an open mic. No witnesses, so I waited a few weeks and looked for whoever suddenly had better punchlines.
Two weeks later a comic used "juxtaposition" correctly.
AHA!
