With thousands of brand new songs uploaded every single day, finding your music and getting noticed has reached new levels of competition and the independent artist often finds themselves fighting an uphill battle against the algorithms on Spotify.
Why Spotify’s Algorithm Rewards Early Momentum
Unless an artist is already established they won’t be appearing on the Discovery Playlists such as Discover Weekly or Release Radar on Spotify unless their track has been receiving listener activity already, i.e. play counts, saves, skip counts and adds to other user created playlists.
The Cold Start Problem for Independent Artists
Unfortunately for the new artist, there is also the ‘cold start’ problem. They need plays and listeners to get the algorithmic recommendation of their new release. However, they need this recommendation to get more plays and listeners in the first place. They don’t have a big label marketing budget to promote their new release and neither do they have a huge fan base yet to promote it for them.
How MySMM Supports Spotify Growth
MySMM.co services include Spotify Followers, Playlist Followers, Spotify Stream, Monthly Spotify Listeners, and Spotify Saves with low prices of $0.001 per 1,000. In order to reach initial audience for your new release – i.e. get them to the point where they start to generate early engagement signals for the Spotify algorithms – a start of engaging for your new music with Plays and Saves can be helpful.

Delivery Designed to Look Natural
By Gradually delivering engagement in a natural way, and not instantly in one spike (which can look suspicious), we can make sure that you get the growth that you need without putting your Artist Account at risk. As well as not requiring you to give us access to your Artist Account, we process all orders via Public Artist/Track Links only.
Boosting Plays Isn’t a Replacement for Good Music
Getting a release of good music heard by the right people initially may need a little help – such as bought engagement. Yet bought engagement can only get a track a first listen by the new listeners of an independent artist. After that it is up to the musician and his or her releases to earn a second and subsequent plays by his or her listeners.
Building a Sustainable Artist Presence
1. Release new music on a regular basis – Keep your artist profile up to date and in the algorithm’s spotlight. Also, keep your listeners up to date with new songs, so they can enjoy your most recent creations.
2. Pair Spotify Growth with Social Promotion: Publish your new music on social media to turn your Instagram and TikTok followers into paying Spotify listeners.
3. Submit to playlists directly – Spotify for Artists allows direct playlist pitching, which can work particularly well for artists who use other MySMM.co services to boost their Followers, Plays, Saves and more.
4. Engage with your existing fanbase – Listen to their comments and write back to their messages in order to create a loyal listener base that algorithms can’t replicate.
Conclusion
MySMM.co delivers real ways to boost an independent artist’s first wave of engagement on Spotify in order to gain the momentum needed to get your music discovered via algorithm. Once you have good music released on Spotify, MySMM will help build your first audience so that your talented work receives the listeners it deserves.
