News of last.fm, and The Last Ones
< Monthly tracks are out, freedom is in! | Blog | Our Memories used for photography site >
This week, I've been promoting my music on last.fm. I paid for "Subterranean Labyrinth" to be played to 100 people, and I also paid for "A World Beyond" to go to 100 people. I chose a few artists who write music similar to my own, and my tracks would be played to a selection of those people.
Before I started, I had 7 listeners. After the first campaign, I had 33 listeners. The second campaign increased this to 51 listeners. However, this has risen to 70 listeners in the last 24 hours. Maybe it took some time for people to show up as listeners.
Still, this is great news! Bear in mind though, I don't consider my first album to be anywhere near the best I can do. If I can get 70 listeners for my first album, how many people will listen to my second album? Hopefully a lot more, as it's going to be a lot better...
In related news, I've finished "The Last Ones". Whereas it was previously 10:18 in duration, it now runs to 12:16. This means that "Besidewalk Plight" is almost 50 minutes long. Not as long as "A World Beyond" (64 minutes), but I've still got two tracks to finish off. When they're done, the music for the album will be complete! We've still got the photos to do though...
