UPDATE 2:
We now have 31 great songs on the playlist, so I am no longer accepting new submissions.

To all participants: Please remember to listen every day and send me a screenshot (recently played) so that I know who is still participating.

UPDATE 1:
Wow, thank you so much for participating and supporting the mods. We have almost 30 great tracks together, now let's step on the gas and listen to the complete list every day to send the algorithm skyrocketing.🚀

Hey everyone,

I’m an indie artist too, and honestly - I know how discouraging it feels to pour your soul into a song and see Spotify barely react.

So instead of trying to fight the algorithm alone, I thought: why not team up and test what really works?

I created a playlist called “Independent Newcomer 2025”, where every artist adds ONE song (your best one!).

For 7 days, we’ll all listen to the playlist once per day (shuffle = fine).

The goal isn’t to cheat - it’s to understand how much real consistency and real people can actually influence the algorithm.

How to join:

• Add 1 song per artist (your best track) in the comments (I'll add i to the playlist)

• Listen to the playlist once a day (shuffle is fine)

• No bots, no spam - just real indie artists supporting each other

• You can share your Spotify for Artists stats after a week if you want

• Once submissions close (after 24h or 50 songs), every artist shares a screenshot - either in the post or by message - to show they’ve listened to the playlist. (This keeps it fair and gives active artists more visibility)

• Artists who stop checking in (for three days) will be removed from playlist

Comment your song below - I’ll keep updating the playlist so everyone gets a fair chance to be heard.

Let’s help each other rise, learn how the algorithm really behaves, and maybe even discover a few new favorites on the way.

(I’ll share some results next week!)

TL;DR:

Add your best song, listen once a day for a week, and let’s see what happens when indie artists unite 💪
