 Streaming platform audio Mac has just made a major power move in the backings of the industry And if you're unfamiliar with audio Mac, you never used it. You never looked into it You might want to think a little bit differently after this video. Let's go ahead and get into it What's going on, my name is Kory co-founder country brand agency and today I want to talk about this this beautiful power move that the streaming platform audio Mac has just made now Like I was saying earlier in the video if you're unfamiliar with audio Mac They are a streaming platform that currently boasts over I believe 16 million or so users So they're not like a super huge streaming platform, but they've been making a lot of ways within the last I would say a year and a half two years or so They're originally started as a mixtape platform back in the day with all the OG websites like that piff a lot mixtape But they were one of the ones that managed to evolve and survive within the streaming era and actually become a Viable streaming platform for music artists and for fans today, you know saying slow kudos to them because that's pretty fine So they just made a big power move that I think is going to boost them in the industry I think it's going to add a lot of credibility to the platform and to people who are growing on the platform And it's something that you might want to know about man You know saying like you might want to get into this but before we get in all that come and follow me on Instagram and Tiktok links will be in the description below come talk to me come and get with me come Give me some video ideas all that good stuff now that being said let's go ahead and get into it So what exactly is this power move that I'm talking about right? Well as of this past week me making this video audio Mac streams would now count towards billboard chart positions and our double-a Certifications meaning that your audio Mac streams would now count for you to be able to get on to the billboard 100 the top 200 or any billboard chart that you're interested in as well as counting towards your strings for a gold platinum and so on Certifications and this is a huge power move for audio Mac because they are the first streaming platform in a while to get added to That that billboard point system I think the last time that we seen a new platform get added to it was what maybe YouTube views in 2018 So about two years two three years ago, you know So no other new platform has even been added in the same way the audio Mac has today so that makes it huge within itself and Once again as me making this video currently the streams from audio Mac that count will be the page streams from pay users and add Supported streams, which is a fancy way of saying all the people using it for free So all of audio Mac streams counts towards billboard chart positioning and they count towards your our double-a certifications Once again, I think this is huge because it's going to make people take audio Mac a lot more seriously If you've been following me for the last, I don't know a year or so I've been talking about audio Mac in a way that if you're putting your music on SoundCloud on YouTube or any free streaming platform Then audio Mac should definitely be included in that in that package one They pay you for your streams, which is amazing already right to is pretty easy to distribute your music on there You can just make an account or you can go through most distributors distribute the audio Mac I think tune cord does I think this your kid does all of them really should and three it has It gives me SoundCloud vibes Like if you liked old SoundCloud if you're one of those people that talk about how you missed the viz of old SoundCloud And the community and how much organic reaching traffic you could get from old SoundCloud Audio Mac pretty much gives me that same vibe I'm saying it is it is SoundCloud 2.0 if you ask me and I think that they do some things better than SoundCloud And they've managed to continue growing without the stigma of being and you know, there's no audio Mac artists You know the same way we kind of rip on SoundCloud rappers and SoundCloud artists There's no audio Mac artists, you know So they can kind of get over that while being able to do some of the same things that people love about SoundCloud So once again, I know this news isn't going to affect most of you You know like most of you aren't trying to get on to the Billboard charts You're not trying to get a gold single or you're not at this stage right now But it's interesting because that means that the projection of audio Mac can only go up from here, you know Like with so many people now realizing that oh audio Mac is going to count towards this big goal I have in the music industry more people are going to start using it That means that more traffic is going to be brought to the platform Which means that they're going to be more eyes that could possibly see your music if you are one of the ones using the platform The only bad thing I can see coming out of this I have thought about and I've seen some of my followers talk about it On my other platforms, but the only bad thing I can see is that labels start to manipulate The audio Mac system in order to game their strings for Billboard, right? Like they come in and they figure out a way to just Unnaturally inflate their numbers over there before everyone hops on to it and you know saying they just milk that game while it can It's a very real possibility. We've seen them do it before You know, we're gonna see them do it again and again when platforms come out So that's the only real worry that I have, you know, but I mean, you know, it happens It'll subside and things that kind of peter out, but I'm curious to know what you guys think about this whole situation Do you use audio Mac? Do you not use audio Mac? Do you like it? Do you not like it?
