Can Playlists and Spotlights Break an Artist?

Mar 17, 2017

2:00pm – 3:00pm CT

Being featured on a popular playlist is slowly replacing radio plugging. The impact created by digital store spotlights and playlist features is cheaper and more easily measurable. As streaming services gained success and the support of the industry, we ask ourselves - is this enough to break a new music act? We aim to answer this question by looking at successful case studies and the people behind them.
