Spotify viral artist Ant Saunders joins the 100 million streams club with the track Yellow Hearts. The New Jersey hip-hop artist says in an instagram post:
There’s just no way this number is real…..if you were to tell me 3 months ago that this song I made on FL Studio on my computer at home would get me a HUNDRED MILLION streams on @spotify alone, I would’ve thought you were on crack. I’ve honestly been waiting for a moment like this to happen for such a long time—I’d been making covers and posting them everywhere since the beginning of time and nothing ever really came of it. Then, I guess I came to the realization that that’s how it was supposed to be. It allowed me to continue working on my craft so that I’d be ready to be recognized. This number right here is a mark that represents all the work I’ve put in to make my dream come true. To all the aspiring artists out there, I know it’s hard, but your moment is bound to come. If it happened to me, it can happen to you. Thank you ?. Also..

Oslo’s indie pop artist CELIIN drops Nasty Human, and I like it. She has attitude and so does the song. Think Billie Eilish goes pop mixed with rock. The new track is a departure from the debut art pop track Leonardo. The track has been playlisted on Spotify’s Brand New Chill, New Music Friday Norway, Alternative Pop and Indie Invaders. Check out the video here.

Spotify expands their listener base with the newly launched “pawfect” playlists that aim to keep our pets company. They ask pet owners to identify their animal’s breed and then select on a sliding scale whether they are relaxed or energetic, shy or friendly and apathetic or curious. Spotify found that one in four pet-owners play music for their pets to listen to for company when they are away from home, with 42% of owners saying their pets have a favorite type of music.

The big noise about DJ’s has simmered down but that’s when someone new pops out. Look out for 23 year old Robert Cristian. The Romanian producer/remixer has amassed millions of Youtube plays on his tracks. The tracks have landed on playlists including Spotify’s This Is Regard and XDeep Records. Check out the track and the video for ‘Someone New’.

Look out for the Finnish native producer Perttu and his new release Damage Control. His remixes for Billie Eilish and Gnash hit the viral charts. The new track was released via his own label Perttu Music Oy. It’s good to be your own label when you have over 70k monthly listeners, and several tracks landing on Spotify Playlists (Coffee Club, Impulso Creativo, Indie Highlights), garnering over 20 million streams. Give it one more stream!
