Expanding music streaming to other services

Advertise on BHW
I got 1k in the last 1 1/2 months from just repeating with around 10 accounts. So far the ratio was not a problem and Spotify already paid for 80k streams. I created another dk account already with another artist. Will create 2-3 more I think and spread it real good. Guess if you are below a certain stream amount they don't really care.
Only thing I am curious about is how often amazon pays. They once paid twice a month for the first time. after that they did not pay last month. So either they are overdue or I am shadow banned. But my distributor is DK. Or they are really only paying every 3 months.
Will keep u updated. Thanks for the information share :)
If anyone has insights on when and how often amazon pays I am happy if you share it.

Good info bro!
 
Anyone getting shadow banned by their distributor? As in, uploading songs but they never get distributed? I'm having a problem right now on a Routenote account and a Traxx account.

I have experienced this, uploading songs that don't get distributed and when complaining getting an explanation "Your release fit criteria that is typically associated with releases that are involved in streaming fraud (aka the manipulation of play counts in stores)."

It was actually real and professional music that got accused of this....

Which distributor was that from? Do you think it could have been the artwork that tipped them off?

It was from United Masters, they seem to flag relaxing music

'Relaxing', 'Spa', 'Sleep' and other styles of 'Background' music get flagged everywhere. I've had luck with EDM and 'Singer/Songwriter' type songs. My voice isn't great but it's enough to pass the test.

I emailed both Traxx and Routenote. I only heard back from Traxx and they said it was suspected musical spam. One of the reasons they gave was short length of the track and an unknown artist. So back to finding relatively popular artists on Spotify that are unverified. My 2 songs were under 2 minutes each. One was 1:25 and the other was 1:48.

Too bad, guess those niches like 'Relaxing', 'Spa', 'Sleep' and 'Background' gets reserved for Spotify themselves and their partners (Universal, Sony etc).

May I ask how many songs you try to upload at the time when you get problems? Is it singles, EP, or full albums?
 
Just list them as a different genre that comes close to relaxing music

I can tell you other stuff. My niche is sleeping music and it works just fine. I am releasing full albums with around 20 soings. 1 Minute length and I added a description why the songs are that short. That it is scientific bla bla that the full effect only comes in certain orders and stuff.
+ i am really creative and high quality with the artwork and set up fake social media etc...

ADD: I am asking this one last time: Anyone knows how often Amazon pays?

Thanks for the information, sounds good.

I managed to upload my music on another Distributor. But it seems like it has harder to upload some categories. If you look at Spotifys own Sleep playlist it is ONLY fake artists.... https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWZd79rJ6a7lp

To avoid getting banned/cought I belive everythinh should be as good as possible, music, art, names etc.

I am only on Spotify so can't help you with Amazon but maybe somebody else maybe knows?
 
Spotify fills their playlists with 'Fake' artists or music produced by ghost producers to greatly reduce the amount of royalties they have to pay out. They have been doing that for quite a while.

They have all the fake artists themselves and then ban the botters artists through the distributors. Maybe that is why they have made profit in the last year :D
