For an artist just developing their following, getting your music heard is an uphill battle. Recently, however, I achieved a bit of milestone — one of my recent releases, “The Octopus Song,” achieved 1000 plays (or spins) on Spotify. This is significant in that until you have at least 1000 spins, no play count is displayed, or worse you see "<1000" plays. Is it 1? Or 999? Doesn’t matter — your song is just a loser like all the other 60,000 pieces of detritus that get uploaded daily to Spotify.
