To my own utter amazement, people are listening. Except my accountant. How the f'k am I to pay for all the gear now lol.
Nearly 2.5 Million Streams = $25.98

My psychologist says it does help. Thx.I just hit the like button.
Hope it helps.
The "Biz" is making millions and billions. The people in it are hunting for crumbs.They said the Music Biz couldn't be worse than what it once was. Boy, where they wrong.
It's very positive in my mind. If I can make a difference, an impact on the scene, that makes me very happy and invigorated to keep going on to the next thing.I look at it in a positive light.
That's 2,472,794 potential ears on your art (repeats count, right?). That's a crazy amount of listens!
I'm lucky to get 35 of my Facebook friends to subscribe to my YouTube channel after they've already liked a post with my daughter's song.
I can't even get my own family members to click on a SoundCloud link to give my music just a little time of day.
I've made exactly $0 from my own art since 2014.
Congratulations on your great success, here's to another year of artists getting royally bent over by the upper 1%
Leave a review after, if you could. I’m interested in that.
I need some rec's, man!I especially like historical facts and accuracy, and how accidents and
happenstance end up gifting us with what we all tend to assume were givens. Like how sampling rates
were decided for CDs, and how and when mp3s came to be, and how many other competitors the
reigning mp3 codices crushed. It's all so damn interesting to me.
Sorry for the derail, TJ.
But what has streaming done? Dare I say very little.
To really rile up the natives, we used to get paid $4 per CD/Cassette sold. If you got $4 for (whatever the math is that takes your posted numbers and considers the number of listens to equal an album's worth of music), you could fund TGF's greatest dreams in perpetuity.
Granted, our label ripped us off and after selling 27,000 copies in the first week we netted a fraction of what we should have gotten, so at least now you're getting kissed on the neck before taking it in the shorts.
