I started making music on October 17, 2025. Then I started dropping music on Spotify in November 2025. From then, I dropped music biweekly to dropping weekly on the beginning of 2026, then back to biweekly as of recently.
My band had 2 single releases. Most recently one on April 15th. The save rate was 60% which I suppose is very high. So I thought we could get more streams. But so far every day we only have 200 listeners. I wonder what can we do to get more streams and listener?
I remember when I couldn’t even crack 60 listeners at one point. Monthly listeners fluctuate but seeing the progress is always encouraging. Just keep going and keep pushing your work out there. Celebrate the small wins.
My Discovery Mode crashed totally for multiple artists. It used to work good before, but now it is just so bad, I almost get no streams anymore (instrumental music). Why is that?
Let's be real – the streams aren't going to magically appear. But staring at 4 streams has never looked this good.
Built a little Tampermonkey script that gives Spotify for Artists a proper dark UI overhaul – visual cards, bar charts, a Heat Score for your songs, and a few other things that make the suffering more aesthetic.

This song was released at the beginning of this year. It was the second song in my catalogue. Initially it got some love from the Spotify Algorithm, giving it an extra 1,000 or so streams in its first two weeks. Then I basically did nothing and just let it idle. It slowly dwindled back to 2-10 listened per day. After deciding to dump all the money I make from another music endeavour into this project, I decided the to try meta ads. It has been running now for 2 weeks, and you can see the steady influx in streams and saves. Over the last 28 days the save rate is almost exactly 50%. 388 listeners to 160 saves. My question is, is there any possibility that Spotify will begin to test this again or is it now all just down to me? Programmed sources are sitting ~1-2%. Thanks!
Building a custom AI-style dashboard for Spotify for Artists (Tampermonkey)
Post:
I’ve been working on a custom userscript for Spotify for Artists that basically rethinks parts of the UI and adds an additional layer on top of the existing dashboard.
Main idea:
turn the platform from a static analytics page into something that actually feels dynamic and useful on a daily basis.
Current features include:
Still very much work in progress — especially stabilizing everything against Spotify UI changes.
I’ve attached some screenshots of the current state.
Would love some input:
I’ll share updates once it’s in a more usable state.
Hi everyone, in this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/SpotifyArtists/s/Anr3Tt8IQn) I shared some tips, based on my experience, on how I got over 3 million streams in 7/8 months with just over €100 in advertising.
Now that I have a little money to invest, I wanted to hear your opinions on which campaigns, sponsors, etc., have worked for you.
Which ones do you recommend?
I’d like to try matchfy and Intellijend, but I’m not sure if they’re reliable and legitimate.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Hey everyone,
Small win but felt worth sharing. I make EDM and was stuck at basically 70-80 listeners for a while.Over the last few weeks I started manually submitting to smaller/independent playlists, and things finally moved:
No ads, just playlisting + consistency.
Still early, but it feels crazy seeing real people across countries listening.
:D
Hey everyone,
I’m reaching out because something very weird is happening on my Spotify for Artists dashboard and I’m honestly a bit worried. Yesterday (April 16th), only one of my tracks suddenly got 193 p.lists adds in a single day.
Here is the weird part:
I have never used any paid stuff or anything that violates Spotify’s TOS. I’ve been an artist on the platform for almost 10 years and I’ve always grown organically. I've never seen something like this in 10 years.
Is this a known dashboard bug? Or am I being targeted by a bot scam? I’m terrified of getting my track flagged.
I just finished chatting with Spotify Support. They told me to just 'monitor the dashboard' for now and to contact my distributor immediately if I notice any suspicious stream spikes. Since no fraudulent streams have been detected yet, they claim they can't do anything at this moment.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Has anyone else experienced something this bizarre? I’ve searched everywhere online and haven't found a single case that matches this (high adds spike/zero streams/no p.list names).
Is it possible it's just a glitch or is it something else?
Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who knows something about this.
Ein Song hat auf einmal unerwartet viele streams erzeugt und hab dann gesehen der wurde in mehrere Playlists Richtung usa gespühlt.
Ich bewerbe meine Songs nirgends und lade tatsächlich über DistroKid plump hoch - wie kann sowas passieren?
how can I increase my followers on my spotify account?
Hi there, I am promoting my first album, it's indie folk, i am italian and the songs are in italian. As of promotion, I'm using meta ads (targeting Italy) and at some point i was eligible for a spotify campagin (i did like 150€ and it will end in 3 days, also targeting Italy).
Yesterday, I noticed at some point i was getting like 90/100 people streaming, never happened, so today when I got the stats I noticed that I had like 1000 streams on the first song on the album but all around US.
I have some streams from release radar and radio, i'll attach some pictures. (I can't apparently but the streams on the song from yesterday (apparently it's from the 16th, still can't see yesterday) in playlists are as follow:
Release Radar 191
Radio 64
Mixes 45
Daylist 8
Do you think I have been botted and if yes, why? I'm trying all the legit ways, so no shady playlisting, I tried submithub and groover with no luck (too niche i guess and i sing in italian, so not many options there).
What could have happened, should i report this?
Thanks a lot, it's the first time I'm trying to be serious about the music and investing money and time into the ads.
Honestly it's going great, starting from zero, but a bit worried about this.
