 I noticed no one on YouTube was talking about this so I felt the need to make a video on it. So we've all heard this statistic thrown around non-stop that 60,000 songs a day are uploaded to Spotify and everyone uses this as an example that there's no chance your music is ever going to get through. In fact, I'll even admit, I read it on music business worldwide and have cited it before since I trust them to vet things, but with some new numbers Spotify put up on their website last week, we see this number just doesn't add up. Spotify now says that they have 82 million tracks on their platform, but in November of 2020, they said there were 70 million. So former editor of Billboard, Bill Wordy, broke down the math in his newsletter full rate no cap. It's pretty simple to see that the number looks more like 23,000 songs a day, which is a good deal less than half of the 60,000 number everyone runs around signing. This 60,000 tracks a day number has really made a lot of musicians feel bad about putting up music. It seems daunting that you could ever get through, but I also want to say we have to remember so many of these people are putting up these songs, never even share that they've put them up and they just put them in the platform and hope they'll get a break from it. And let's remember Spotify loves to tout these numbers because it wows investors and publications into writing that they're so big and so important.
