Question: Editorial Playlists Performance

[joespi314]

Hi, I was notified on 1/18 that my track "Relax #1" by Icebox Pi was added to 3 playlists: spa, new age and new age now. 

It seen that it had not gotten a single play from any of those playlists.  Is something wrong, or how should I interpret that? Is it getting presented and immediately skipped? I waited a while to give it time, now seems like too long for zero plays.

Hey @joespi314 - Congratulations on the Programming Placements! That's a big deal 🤜🤛

This is a new release too! Less then a month old. Very cool.

In cases like this, I would recommend giving this time. I know that's easier said then done but these should start spinning soon.

You can always monitor your tracks insights in the Catalog tab in AMP.

I hope that helps!

Congrats, man on the track being added to playlists, but maybe its too long, or a genre of music that people dont like

Yeah totally get where you are coming from , may if edit it down to 3:30 and resubmit  maybe what are you thoughts are you with  Pandora Amp Radio

Hi, just checking to get an expectation about how much time is reasonable and how much might indicate a problem.  It's now 4+ weeks since it got added and still zero plays.  I don't want to be a nag, but I don't want to not raise an issue if there is one.   When is it reasonable to be concerned?   I have a fear that it is getting played and skipped so the streams are just not registering, but that may just be me not understanding how to fully account for the numbers.

I doesn't seem like track length because the first song that came up when I went to the new age station was longer (7:00).

Could there be a bug where songs that have a# in the title don't play?

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much. The track is getting a lot of attention, attracting Generation Z. I am so excited about it.

Hey @joespi314 - I appreciate you keeping tabs on this release. 

I see you have an open case with our AMP Support team. Please know that they will be following up with you shortly about this so be on the lookout for that email 📧

Thanks for your patience!

1. Sometimes counts are not happening because of another's "accidental" mis-appropriation.  Keep your eyes open for opportunity.  Having "listens" may be better than "plays".
2. Think outside the box.

Is Possible for African Artists to Playlisted on Editorial Playlists via
Pandora? If so then how's does one Apply for it?

[ChrisPandora]

Hey @McprinceBS - You should check out this thread about AMP: Fresh Cuts. There are some instructions on how to submit your music for inclusion on that station. Good luck!

[Listener001]

[Impailer07]

[joespi314]

Hi, it is another month and I have not seen a single play from an editorial playlist. Not sure what it means
