DJ Marshmello is on a hot streak. He signed with WME for representation and the top Spotify global artist also landed a historic $60 million Las Vegas residency 2 year deal.
His third release is comfortably sitting at No. 4 on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart and his smash hit “Happier” with Bastille is charting at No. 1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs.
To top it off, he collaborated with Stuffed Puffs and sold a million bags of chocolate filled marshmallows at Walmart in less than 24 hours.
Amazon claims that the subscribers to Amazon Music Unlimited spiked 70% in the last year – totaling 32 million subscribers. But can the behemoth internet company really compete with Spotify? Not really. Much of the Amazon subscribers are older and Amazon isn’t sexy – I don’t think artists are racing towards ‘Amazon Artist of the Month’. Amazon is luring potential prospects through Amazon’s Echo speakers. Although Amazon is betting on its music service, Spotify and Apple and far ahead.
