Randall	This? How is it used to one's own advantage?
JK2006	Not really; it's a question of Hype which, remember, I did in the 70s.
Randall	Ah yes, of course. The streamers serve up music according to an "if you like that, you might like this" algorithm. Although I've found it very hit and miss for my personal listening preferences. On Deezer, I selected favourites including Horace Silver, Incognito, Tower of Power, Fred Wesley, John Coltrane and Sting. The first suggestion Deezer gave me was... Lady Gaga. Yeah, thanks. Uninstall. That would suggest starting off with music unambiguously belonging to a clearly defined genre (So I wonder how FKA Twigs performs...?). Then, getting added to popular playlists of that same genre. And then good artwork to provoke a click. Am I thinking along the right lines?
JK2006	No. It was constructed on fan base. There is no streaming fan base.
Randall	You mean Spotify, Deezer and what's the new one...? Just a minute while I look it up. TIDAL!! That's the bugger... What was your advice for YouTube promotion? Do you think it's applicable or adaptable to the streaming platforms?
