Getting those songs on the Spotify lists! twitter.com/TALCvids/status/924733213964210178TALCvids @talcvids Interesting read: Secret Weapon In Pink's Chart-Topping Strategy: Visiting Spotify Offices Around the World www.billboard.com/articles/business/8014766/pink-spotify-office-visits-chart-topping-strategy … There were a number of factors that helped P!nk land a No. 1 album this week, from a concert ticket/album sale redemption promotion to the music itself. But the artist had a third trick up her sleeve that could help sustain her going forward: she went on a world tour of streaming-company offices. "She spent a lot of time going into Spotify offices around the world -- literally, she went into Spotify offices in Berlin, in London, in New York, in Los Angeles. We also did the same for Apple Music," John Fleckenstein, evp of P!nk's RCA label, tells Billboard. "She really took the time to make sure that she went in and met with these accounts and established herself with them to make sure they understand." While artists have long made extensive rounds at radio stations in hopes of maximizing their airplay, acts are now increasingly touring streaming offices instead. A Spotify rep tells Billboard that it is now standard practice not only for artists to visit the company’s offices, but also for Spotify teams to spend time with artists in the studio, in order to get richer context around their music and creative process. Winning the support of streaming services is increasingly paying off for artists as their first-week buzz dies down. It's particularly important for artists like P!nk, since pop albums haven't been racking up huge streaming numbers in today's hip-hop-dominated universe. Many of P!nk's diehard fans, meanwhile, grew up in the CD and download eras. Fleckenstein says that the need to appeal to a younger streaming audience did not trickle down into P!nk’s creative output itself, but rather was simply a marketing imperative of the times.

This is fascinating and really quite scary. If even the top artists like Pink find it necessary to travel the world making personal visits to streaming services, I can't imagine how artists even one tier below her can compete. I realize that marketing has always been hugely important, even before the dawn of the digital age. But this is beyond belief. I guess all we can hope for is that Adam can somehow promote himself in this way, too, doing the utmost he can, using his management and label as well as his own energies. Streaming and radio play. I guess that's the golden nugget.

LOL! My 'bad ass' rockstar! Yep. Nothin' like a bad-ass in a feathered jacket, holding a red umbrella. Not the mention the cute, boyish grin.

Streaming becomes more and more important in both the charts as certifications. Playlists on Spotify are very important to get those streams as most people listen music through those playlists. So getting on those playlists is crucial. A lot of those playlists are also made by Spotify themselves so when you can convince Spotify to add your song to the playlists that helps a lot. Getting Spotify to understand your music and the meaning of it also helps Spotify to get it on the right playlists as they have playlists for almost every mood of music.
Sharing and streaming the songs when they come out by fans is still very important too though as it will give that first boost and visibility. Then after that the playlists take over and hopefully the song goes viral.
