I don't understand the difference between radio and Spotify. For a song to "explode" in Spotify it needs to be on the big playlists, so it gets exposure, doesn't it? So what's the difference between such playlist and a radio station? The difference is, that you can listen to whatever music you want on Spotify. But you have to look for it. Even if it’s on a big playlist, people have to choose to listen A) to that playlist and B) to the song (you can skip it). Radio just plays along and in some occasions, you simply have to listen to it. On Spotify, a song is shared a lot and good enough to grab the attention of casual listeners, more and more people will listen to it and share it in their playlists. Adam’s songs always get on the „New Music“ playlists (At least where I live.). This is one of the biggest playlists, that shares all new releases from the current week on Friday (for a week). If people like the song, it’s possible, that it’s going to snowball. Another big factor in this is YouTube. That works similar to Spotify and brings a song out to people’s attention, so that listeners, who like it, can go and add a song to their steaming playlists. Radio is ruled by the big labels. If you aren’t with a big label, only a song, that exploded on YT or Spotify might have a chance. Since Adam is a well known singer, who does big TV shows ect, he has a chance to get played, IMO. Not on all stations, but some. And from there it could snowball as well. All it takes is a great banger. And even if it never happens: Adam is fine. I see. Still, getting a spot on a big playlist can surely make a difference for a song, so I guess it's just a matter of time till the popular playlists start charging something for the these spots, just like radio? Ot is there some mechanism to keep it a pure democracy?

Ot is there some mechanism to keep it a pure democracy? I read somewhere, that the big labels are already ruling 90% of Spotify. I don’t know, if this is true. What is clear is, that their artists get easier on big playlists than independent artists. But unlike most independent artists, Adam is well known. That‘s IMO very different from all the unknown newbies. Iggy Azalea is also independent and her songs are added. New Eyes did get immediately added some often biggest playlists in Germany. The song just didn’t connect that well.
