The music industry runs on a lot of old beliefs. Some of them sound good in boardrooms, but don’t hold up in the real world.
Here are 4 lies labels still believe about promotion:
1. More playlists always mean more success.
2. Throwing budget at ads guarantees results.
3. Hype alone is a strategy.
4. Organic growth is dead.
These ideas waste money, time, and trust. At Listn, we see the results every day: campaigns fail when they chase vanity metrics instead of fans.
Our approach is different → transparent, data-driven, and grounded in insider experience. No inflated promises, no smoke and mirrors.
Just clarity on what works and what doesn’t.
