Traditional music marketing metrics like stream counts are failing to capture the unique advantages of AI-generated music. In a world where you can create a dozen songs in a day, the old KPIs for success are incomplete. This episode dives deep into the next-generation of metrics you need to track, focusing on the efficiency, precision, and predictive power that AI brings to the table.
Imagine spending thousands on ads for your new AI track, only to see minimal streams. That's the reality for many who use an old playbook. Now, consider an artist who used AI to create a track for the 'cyberpunk ambient' niche. By using AI-powered ad tools to target listeners of specific sci-fi podcasts and game soundtracks, they cut their cost-per-acquisition by 70% and landed on three major community playlists within a week. We break down the metrics that made this possible.
