Music marking and the algorithms that control the music industry

I absolutely love Pandora Radio! Pandora Radio has been one of the most important tools for promoting my new Christmas songs. I have never seen a streaming service give such a high presence in their music streaming algorithm. I made an infographic above mostly for my collection / scrapbook of music marking efforts and success stories but I want to share it here as well to let other recording artists know how amazing this music marking tool is. I didn’t buy marketing for this particular song and it is still performing well on radio play on various stations. As you can see above, Pandora played my song on some of the stations shown on the bottom right of the infographic because it’s algorithm thinks it would do well with the fans of the station / artists and it has been amazing. If only other streaming services would give us diy musicians a chance the way Pandora does we would see more streams on all platforms.
