November 09 Ex-Spotify Exec: "Monthly Listeners" Is Bullsh*t #289
A former Spotify exec told us monthly listeners mean nothing, and the comments split in two. So we argued both sides.
Troy Carter, Russ, Curtiss King and Anthony Fantano weigh in as we get into who still checks the number (bookers, brands, labels), the 1 to 4% ticket math, streams per listener, and the numbers that actually move a career.

October 05 What to Do Every Day Before and After You Release a Song (for Free) #285
We compiled all our knowledge from interviewing the smartest people in the music industry over the last 5 years into a comprehensive playbook of how we would roll out a song today for $0.
Using Lil Breadstick's new single, Stale, we walk every day from 30 days out to 30 days after: finding the stopper with Trial Reels, a month of content from one shoot, a 100 CD preorder with $0 up front, and the day you decide whether to keep pushing.

September 28 Viral Music Marketer: The Mistakes Keeping Talented Artists Invisible ft. Junior Makame #284
Book your next content shoot with RAPVILLE: https://form.typeform.com/to/NZuMGn40?source=omt-podcast
If you have been posting for months and you are stuck at 200 views, you do not have a music problem. You have a content problem, and Junior Makame, whose team at RAPVILLE pulls 200 million views a month for its artists, shows you exactly how to fix it.
He breaks down the three sins that keep a page stuck, why a trend only works if you remix it, the HLEV framework behind every RAPVILLE video, the mute test for your old posts, and why going viral and building a fan base are not opposites. Then he builds viral ideas for five artists on the spot in the Hook Lab.

September 21 What an A&R Hears That You Don't: Why Good Songs Still Fail ft. Justice Baiden (LVRN) #283
Most artists cannot tell you why people like them, and that gap is why good songs still fail. Justice Baiden, co-founder and Head of A&R at LVRN, breaks down what he is actually listening for: whether the artist fits the song, why the comments under your posts are usually right, the three eras of A&R, and the misses that taught him more than the hits.

September 14 The Only Music Publishing Video You'll Ever Need ft. Jacob Paul (Kobalt/KOSIGN) #282
Music publishing is the money most independent artists never collect, and nothing in the system tells you it's missing. Jacob Paul of Kobalt / KOSIGN explains how songwriters actually get paid: the two copyrights in every song, the three royalties, why a PRO alone leaves half your money on the table, the $1 billion black
box, and what to do this week if you've never registered a song.
