MILESTONE: Over 100 Listeners on Spotify

Forreal we’re so stoked! Tape Lab has reached a critical milestone of 100 monthly listeners on Spotify! That seems like a big deal, at least to us.

Tape Lab has long suffered in obscurity. Sweaty and desperate for recognition, we’re singing a whole new song.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND DONT FOLLOW US. SHAME ON YOU. START TODAY HERE.

It really is a big deal when you consider the MAMMOTH amount of music being released every single day. Ya’ll thought we were the only ones? Some statistics to contextualize how big it is that we have, organically, generated OVER 100 REAL FANS.

  • Over 100,000 new songs were released EVERYDAY in 2023.

  • Over 7 trillion songs were streamed (2023).

  • Over 436,000 tracks were streamed more than a million times (2023)

We still have more songs than fans, but that is a steep curve for fans to overtake, considering the simply staggering rate with which we produce music.

Truly torrential, you will get wet.

Spotify isn’t really great as a way to financially support Tape Lab, but it is good because you’re gonna hear our music where you listen to your music! That is pretty cool!

What happens to Tape Lab’s royalties when you listen to our certified bangers on the Sweedish platform? THANK YOU FOR ASKING. Listens of less than 1000 plays in one month are grouped together and split with bigger artists.

So, Drake gets paid when we get played.

Either way you slice:

WE ARE GETTING PLAYED

What has been the key to our recent success??

Here are some theories:

  • Our song “Counterattack” was added as the TOP TRACK in a playlist by somebody in Mexico!

  • Our song Jamalotov has been viral in India, yes, we’re talking about millions of views and hundreds of videos.

  • Maybe it has been our recent surge of new Music Videos out now on @TapeLabTV?

  • Maybe it was our 700 Page FULL-COLOR LORE BOOK (OUT NOW)

  • Years of writing these blog posts (YES, THIS BLOG) has resulted in boosted SEO

  • People are finally listening to our music?

TapeLab

Welcome to #TapeLab—stay a while and listen. Founded in 2017 by lifelong friends, Tape Lab is a collective of artists and a hub for innovation, always open to collaboration. With the zeal of a self-published memoir, our sound is our own, but you can be the decider. We make music and art that sounds like it was fun to make and stands out in a sea of bland beats.

As independent artists, we are always exploring new ways to expand our audience and find new creative outlets—especially with other undiscovered artists!

#TapeLab is currently based out of two headquarters in Durham, NC, and The Hamptons, NY.
