Behind the scenes

Because of imgur and your support, I've found myself in a pretty cool position. I'm nearing the 300k streams mark on Spotify and with that number comes great... data. A lot of the data Spotify provides their artists is pretty fascinating, so I thought share it back with imgur! Today I'm gonna focus on my new favorite thing: user generated playlists.

Fun Fact: If you make a playlist and more than one person listens to it, I get to see that playlist on my dashboard so I know where my listens are coming from. This has led to some very insightful market research. :D. It's one thing to know that people like my music, its another thing entirely to see how they categorize it.

All of these playlists are real, made by real people (not actors).

I love the thought of people getting pumped up to this song about heartbreak. Bunch of hooligans drivin' down the road, hittin the town, screaming "YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO HUUUURT"

now we're getting into the weird stuff. Is all the music malfoy themed? Is McCracken on this list because it's spicy, or because its jesusy? I have so many questions

I know that people use the word "shit" to mean "stuff". But I really like to imagine that there's a spotify user out there that shits at 3am so often that they had to create a playlist to get them through their nightly poo. And Dear McCracken is the soundtrack to that event.

'Meh': the playlist for all the songs that make you go 'Meh'. You might remember that I mentioned that these only show up if more than one person listens to it. That means that there has to be at least ONE person who saw a playlist called "Meh", and still wanted to check it out. And for that person, I am grateful.

Thanks for checking this stuff out with me! We're still humming along - no manager or label or budget or idea what we're doing. If you want to support us, we entered Dear McCracken into the Tiny Desk Contest on NPR and sharing it with your friends certainly can't hurt our chances of getting their attention

This is also secretly an AMA, and I will answer any of your behind-the-scene questions you're curious about! I have loved talking to and getting to know all the cool people on this site!
