I've just taken a close look at this. We need 1000 eligible streams played during the previous month to qualify...I don't know about anyone else but I'm way off that.

I did at one time look into music promotion just to see how it's done. It seems these days that it involves being on your phone 24 hours a day, liking stuff that you don't really like so I decided to just do my own thing and if you like it you do, if you don't,  you don't.

@pompeyjazz (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20269) I know what you mean John. I'm way too old and way too lazy to be bothered kissing arse.  :D

@MartynRich (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20533) I thought I'd be nowhere near the qualifying total either Martyn,but apparently in the last month I've had 1606 plays! Who knew.  ;D 

It's a pity I can't get anyone at all to play the stuff on Spotify or the rest of the platforms...but hey,we are back to the lazy again.  :P
