Whew! Yesterday marked 4 weeks since ‘3AM’ was released online, the perfect time to take a look at how it’s been going!

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t check my Spotify stats everyday, but that’s only because I can’t believe we’re still getting between 200-400 streams A DAY (we passed 5K in 4 weeks!)

Since I don’t have a plugger/promoter/team/editorial playlist behind it, I’m quite satisfied with those numbers! With my last release, ‘Name of Love’, the streams fizzled out a lot faster (after 1k the first day, it was at 65 after 1 week).

So what else has ‘3AM’ gotten so far? I love making lists and I think it’s good to take a moment and be gratefull for what did happen, instead of what didn’t happen (we do that on a daily basis as musicians anyway).

RADIO – who gave it a spin?
– ARC Radio (UK) made it record of the week in the first week and it’s still sitting at #17 in their top 40
– Omroep Brabant
– RTV Smelne FM
– RPL Woerden / Podium 107.1
– Pinguinradio
– RTV80 / The Basement
– Hits from the Heartland

WRITE-UPS – who had some kind words?
– Here Comes the Flood (blog)
– Ear to the Ground Music (blog)
– Catchingmusic (blog)
– Women Crush It (Instagram)
– HitZound (blog)

PLAYLISTS – who wants to listen again?
I’m gonna leave listener playlists out of it (even though those make me real proud too<3)
– IndieVibes
– The Women of Country; Next Generation
– Pinguinradio: Pinguin Pop
– IndieXL: Nieuw uit Nederland
– Allied Musicians: Best of Independent Artists
– F*ckboy Friday
– Hits from the Heartland
– For the Love of Music: NL100
– Make Pop Music: Official Community Playlist

and: The official Dutch Top40 has had 3AM in their ‘voting list’ for weeks now! So funny.

I can only hope the next release does even better and we slowly reach a new, bigger audience <3
