• Immediate streams from active playlist followers
• Initial spike in daily stream counts
• Real-time tracking begins in your dashboard

Peak Performance (Days 7-21)

• Most playlist placements happen during this period
• Highest daily stream counts typically occur
• Cross-platform streaming growth visible
• Algorithm boost on streaming platforms may begin

Sustained Growth (Days 21+)

• Related artist discovery increases
• Potential for algorithmic playlist additions

What to Expect
