TunedQuest: The Radio Music Submission Resource to Help Gain Airplay

Artists Will Discover Many Radio Submission Options for Music Here
TunedQuest: The Radio Music Submission Resource to Help Gain Airplay

Last Updated 14.4.2023

Promotion of the independent musicians art should not be limited to Spotify playlists. Musical submissions to broadcast or streaming radio stations is an intimidating undertaking and not a straightforward task to attempt, especially with how many internet articles are out there promoting the “best” or “top” stations to submit music to.

I started the following listing in the summer of 2019 and it includes many broadcast entities and promotional agents that accept music submissions as I have been able to find through search ebfine and sicial media research.

There are four sections: General, Genre-Specific, College Radio, and Regional, with each further divided into more specific options. The menu to the left provides quick-jump navigation to each section.
The stations and sites vary in their submission processes, as some cling to the arcane mail-physical-copies (CDs/vinyl records), while others make it easy with online submission forms and clear information requests. Simple submit-by-email stations are listed too but vary in how they want those emails

While pay-for-airplay stations are listed (along with a few pay-to-submit regional stations), it is the artist who is to be paid by commercial stations that pick songs up.

Most importantly, don’t wait for the official results of submissions before trying again. You are looking for success with your music, and that comes by way of airplay/exposure and listener reaction. Keep submitting and put your best foot forward as you do so, with the music you submit and the information you share with the stations/sites you deal with.

Notes listed with the stations are more submission info and not broadcast details or deep station details. Some notes are wild rambles– Hey! This is a personal weblog! I do that sometimes! The original TunedQuest lead-in is a good example!

And typos. You will find typos in those notes..

Ultimately it’s the links that matter and your submissions. Good luck!

Please Note

  • hile most category sections are alphabetically listed, the lists thensekces are completely random in order.
  • The listing order in the North American regio0nal section is an imperfect geographical order.
  • The college section contains all 50 US states and 8 of 10 Canadian provinces.
  • In the Regional category, a city will be listed if it has 3 or mlre stations or sites. here are 13 cities listed.

Major Networks

  • Pandora
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: The addition of the Pandora streaming service was put off, in part, as I saw news that submissions upon publication through distributors was now possible.
    From my own experience, this is album submissions, not single tracks… And true album data needs to be provided. In my recollection, this isn’t new-only content either, so old albums and e.p.’s are up for submission too. That doesn’t mean acceptance though. That is a truth to music submissions anywhere.
  • SomaFM
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: They’ll take download codes from Bandcamp or download links from the common services like Deopbox, Google Drive, etc. They also want high nitrate MP3 files and not alternative file types.
  • SiriusXM Canada
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes:
  • Fab Radio International
    Web Sire || Submissions Page
    Notes: This UK-based station is a broader radio service than it appears, with multiple channels that host multiple genres, as well as the online stream.
    The fon6rasting element in the depth of Fab Radio is the means with which you – yes, you – can submit music. High Quality (production, mixing) is pushed on the submissions page ane a file-size limit of 12 Megabytes.
  • BigTime Radio
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: They boast a very wide public reach. I did not go as thoroughly through the music submission process. It starts at a registration/memmembe4ssip sign-up, If I take a stab, notes will be updated.
  • CBC Music
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: I’m a little uncomfortable posting this one as their method seems to key in on programming — note a program with submissions. ^here is even a second submissions pate about program submissions. It’s a major Canadian broadcast company, though, so it’s worth exploring.
  • BWH Group Music
    Web Site || Submissions Page*
    Notes: Powerful PR opportunity BUT…
    I was actually researching submissions to Indie Spoonful and they heralded BWH Music Group on their submissions page without giving clear instructions on how to submit. Ultimately, contact seems to be done via email (i t w a s a n a w k w a r d p r e s e n t a t i o n) but the format of the page made me move on without as much research.
    All that said, this is a big-shit company with several broadcast arms of net-based and terrestrial broadcasts. This is ultimately PR, folks. It’s business.
    I’m not very comfortable posting a PR page as a “submissions” page, I much prefer individual stations with streams.
  • Indie Radio Network
    Web Site || Submission page
    Notes:
  • HD Radio Network
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: They don’t elaborate on rules with submissions – single songs or full albums can be submitted. Be wise with fike- anr submission-quality.

Internet Radio

  • M3 Radio
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: “New Music” — less than a year old – “24/7, 365”. Submissions are via email and a download link. Seeing Iggy Pop was atop their weekly charts at the time of this post, it shows you are in stiff competition for airplay,.
    The charts of M3 Radio show they play a multitude of genres. They highlight the adds (new airplay) in Heavy, Electric, World, Hip-Hop, and Jazz. That doesn’t mean they don’t accept submissions (or add artists) in other listed genres though.
  • The Shift
    Web Sit te || Submission page
    Note:  This isn’t just music but also video submissions. The Shift TV promotes music videos submitted by artists. If memory serves correctly, you have to sign up for an account. Not a big deal, but time-consuming.
  • 113.FM Radio
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: But quite freeform, but close. At a casual glance,, it;s a multitude of channels through one site. What gets ion-air attention spans decades of nysuc histiry.
    In fact, you need to find the channelOsP your tunes would work on and tell them that within your submission email.
    MP3/WAV files submitted need to be a 320 bitratwe
  • Cheers to the Vikings
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes:
  • Respect the Underground Worldwide Radio
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: Form submission. This site is bigger than I know. I looked at genres listed on the submission form; when “Big Band” is listed along with many variations of common indie music, you know a station is covering a lot of stuff. You must be a member of the site to submit content, you also must be 18 or older.
  • The BIRN
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: Origionally listed as a Regional station, while owned and controlled by a college, Berklee Internet Radio Network is four channels and devoted to music… Not to city or campus life.
    The station accepts physical and email submissions – with music download links and info included.
  • RadioRadioX.com
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: Call it freeform, the site plays a world-wide variety of music (they alsop like their neighbors of central upstate Neew Yorkm but this isn’t a local only station).
    Physical copies of music can be mailed or digital copies emailed (MP3 files only, please)
  • BE 100 World Hit Radio
    Web Site || || Submissions Page
    Notes: I see “underground” in titles and descriptions of many stations/sites taking submissions and try to highlight indie music. BE 100 says they’re mainstream. My interest is piqued. “Diverse multicultural” music is another way of saying they are freeform with music.
    Submissions are via email and the files must be MP3 or Wav.
  • Catorweb Radio
    Web Site || Submission page
    Notes: Mixing submitted artists and traditional major musicians. I’ve had a habit of tuning into their online stream and catching Stevie Ray Vaughn’s songs more often than indie acts. Blame that on when I was listening.
  • KISS Radio
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: Taking ew song submissions and promoting itself as playing today’s best…
  • BTD Radio

  • BMS Radio Network

    Motes: A collection of streamig channels covering many music genres. I dom’t truly know how vide BMS Radio’s reach is They do
    have a Chicago arm (devoted to hip-hop/R&B) and most importantly, take pride in blending mainstream amd indie music.
    Sibmitting music is a process I did not explore in full… The submissions paqge asks tiy to submit tiyr bane/email for instructions
  • Indie Radio FM
    Web Site || Submission page
    Note:
  • Indie X FM
    Web Site ||
    Notes: While the station is alll indie and accepts a variety of genres, litejijg shows pop/EDM (and high-quality production) drive a8rplay
  • Ths is tip-tier.
  • Indie Scene
    Web Site || Submission page
    Note:
  • Lucid Vibe Radio
    Wbn Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: They’re upfront with requesting much music — 10 to 12 song submissions in a folder, submitted in email. They are also pretty clear in what they are looking for: We are looking for any underground, new age, lofi, instrumental, EDM, chillstep, reggae, acoustic music that speaks to your soul. There’s more info on the submissions page, but this gives you the gist.
  • Insomnia Radio
    Web Site || Submission page
    Note: There are two different submission options: Plain-jane send-us-your-music.
    The other option is sending music, album art, biographical data – stuff so you can be highlighted – but you also need to make the music available for download on the station’s site.
  • Indie Music Plus
    Web Site || Submission page
    Note:
  • Indie Music Discovery
    Web Site || Submission page
    Note:
  • Lonely Oak Radio
    Web Site || Submission page
    Note: I’ve written at length to herald Lonely Oak Radio before. In essence though, if you’re just starting out with going toward radio/streaming options as an independent musician, this is where to start.  Also keep in mind that they sort of introduce you to the fact that Twitter accounts can lead to numerous, automated messages aimed at major accounts (from stations your music is airing on in this case).
  • Mov’em Radio
    Web Sitee || Submissions Page
    Motess:
  • Excite Radio
    Web Site || Submission page
    Note: Submissions are to be done by way of social media
  • Radio Outlaw
    Web Site || Submission page
    Notes:
  • DOPECAUSEWESAID
    Web Site || Submission Page
    Notes: I’ve seen this site prominently in web searches and… Well? Dopecausewesaid throws me off simply because of how it looked. “Dope Cause We Said” isn’t bad phrasing, but optics and grammar didn’t hit me right. Useless personal note, that one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    The submission page is also a mite tricksy. A business pitch is prominent after the submission write-up, and so is popularity boasting. Between them is a button to submit your music via a form pop-up.
    So, what about what they’re looking for?
    They take a wide variety of genres – Pop, Hip-Hop, RB, Folk, Rock, etc. They do review music videos as well as music. It’s also worth noting they want submissions that are available online and in embeds, via Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, and others.
    There are plenty of other do’s and don’ts that they talk about, but the most important one for the musician is to submit new music. Nothing older than three (3) months in age. Got it? Good… or should I say Dope, yo.
  • Desert Storm Radio

  • Edge Radio
    Web Site || FAQ Page
    Notes: While this is a Downunder station, their multi-genre acceptance and goal to “helping new and emerging artists in Tasmania, Australia and around the world” led me to post their listing on the “General” section. Submissions are accepted physically by mail or digitally by email (with bio info, streaming links, and download links included in your mailing).
  • Eagles Nest Radio Network Network
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: I haven’t gone through the complete submission process, but Eagles Nest piques my interest as it takes submissions of content from the common services online for music Form submission. This was another station referred to me by a friend in music. Give it a shot, tell us how it goes in comments.
  • idobi
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: Simple submissions form with the option to submit to a specific show on the station/network. They seem open to all submissions and don’t say a genre. I haven’t had a change o review the site as a listener, but their About page touts the site as “unfiltered” and “hardcore.”

  •  Trend City Radio
    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: While this seems to be a generalized indie music station, make sure you pay attention while dealing with song-submission. No, you don’t have to buy a service to submit music… That “Buy Now” button is for the social media packages they promote
  • Cypher City Radio

Florida
  • WVFS – Florida State University
    Web Site || Submission Page
    Notes: Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. While they accept digital submissions (via email, while including links to stream-sources of music and download links), they prefer physical copies of music (CDs or vinyl). They’re an album-orientated station and use physical catalog stuff (meaning if you digitally submit, they’ll have to burn a CD if your tunes are accepted)
  • EVUM – University of Miiami
    Web Site || Contact Page
    Notes: There is no info disclosed on music submissions. It was a tweet that ;;ed me to listing the station. Submissions to WVUM follow the college default send-to-music-director.The tweet encoutaged locals to disclose that in their email subject line.

    Notes: I feel horrible that I forgot Rollins College. I kvetched about a lack of music submission channels in the Orlando area and even said I had to look into schools. I’d been exposed to Rolins through TV new while growing up, and always tied to music.
    Open to all music genres, submissions are to be done physically by mail. They do not say what objects hwy accept (CD, vinyl, flash-drive, cassette) omo angles are available too (see the contact page – linked as “Submissions page” – above).

  • Owl Radio
    Web Site || Submission Page
    Notes: Kennesaw State University’s student-run radio operation in Georgia. Owl Radio wasn’t coming up prominently in college radio searches…it appeared later on in general stream sites. It’s also a pretty straightforward, form-field submission page that is akin to generalized stream sites. That fact is highly notable as other colleges have avoided such things because of how many submissions they see.
    I don’t know if there is a preference for will-perform-live acts (local/regional performers), but they do inquire about this on the submission page.
  • WREK – Georgia Tech

    Notes: The station gives preference to music on CDs or LPs (vinyl). They will take digital submissions but solid-submissions are preferred. Digital submissions are through email.

  • The WOLF Internet Radio
    Web Site || Submiddiond Page
    Notes: Email submissions, but the University of Western Georgia’s student-run station confused me with phrasing. They ake submissions from “local and unsigned” acts. Should this be read as local artists and generally unsigned acts, or local, unsigned acte of Georgia? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Notes:
    Like many college stations, they take physical copies (CDs) of music. but also take digital copies (in .zip files, posted to a file-sharing site). It’s also relevant – and this goes for more than just this station – that they ask you to review their music (posted in playlists). If you stuff rits in with what they post, it should be a green-light for you to submit content.

    Here’s the thing: No singles. Albums and EPs of four tracks or more are preferred for on-air consideration. I may have read this wrong but I think they want both download (Dropbox) links and streaming links to go along with other data in submission emails. Check the page for more info. Submissions are via email.

    Notes: The station is in Vancouver, B.C. on the west coast of Canada. While the submissions-page link I used is for music, their official page points to a multitude of promotional options.
    They state a preference for physical copies of music — and no CD Singles — but will accept digital submissions. They’re picky about what they want — 320kbps MP2s, at least four tracks in a submission, and inro…lots of info.
    They also truly come off like college radio as they have a preference for local acts. It doesn’t mean this is a locals-only situation, but it does mean this is an opportunity for musicians in Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. ..

    Notes: Email submissions; the address is on the home page.
  • WHCP
    Web Site || Submission page
    Notes: One of the early station listings, I need to review submissions again and better update this review.
    A Baltimore-based community station. I don’t know if they’re only accepting music from a local artist). With how prominent the station is online, I don’t think it’s just “locals”.
    Submitting to the station is more of a process simply because you must find the proper show/deejay to submit your music to.
    Unrelated to WHCP: Community broadcast stations (NPR affiliates) are also all over the United States. Some are locals-only, some will only take CD submissions.

    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: They’re looking for original artists with “roots in New York’s backyard”. Consider that statewide and, not city-only. While it’s a  form submission proves, they don’t say much more than wanting original bands.
  • At-CosrWNYR – The Rock og Manhattan

    Notes: While it’s great to find a station in the City that Never Sleeps taking rock submissions, it comes at-cost. Seeing as the station resides in the media capital of .the world it is justified.

  • Chill Lounge Florida`
    Web Site ||
    Notes: They aertrn’t up-front on submissions except disclosing means of contact, so I dropped them a line, and here’s relevant info on submissions:
    They are open to submissions from all music genre for review, with no restriction on age of the songs (it does not have to be new music) Digital submissions should be MP3s with a high bitrate. Files should have Artist – Song Name in the file title and all metadata within it.
    In my listening experience, the music is primaril yinstramental, dance/EDM, and Electronica, with the occasional Jazz number and other genres sprinkled in. If you are a folk, rock, country, RnB, or even just a piano player and have a chill/easy listening instrumental in your library, that may be your best chance for airplay You’re not restricted (instrumentals only? no) but this is a tough nut to crack.

    You can submit it to the music department, but also check out the schedule and shows, and submit it straight to the different programmers. We get a ton of music that way. Thanks

    Web Site || Submissions Page
    Notes: This Denver-area site piqued my interest even with missing context (What genres do they prefer? Locals only?). EDIT: Upon further review…this is a site aimed at the mountains/promoting musicians of Colorado.
    While the submission page lacks context on submissions, it pushes “Song of the Week”.
    A “Song of the week” is picked andf promoted…with a video produced to promote it. A video that will ge a paid advertisement for a week on Facebook. That should seem reason enough to submit music without caring about other factors, but I advise you to do some listening and better research on this than just knee-jerk, gotta-do-it reacting.

No beat from Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio

Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio is sadly in a still-beat [UODATED]
No beat from Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio

There’s a high likelihood that you’ve never heard of Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio. This applies to almost the entirety of the Tampa Bay metroplex. While these words introduce you to an audio operation, right now you can’t hear it.

An arm of Pulse Media LLC and based in New Port Richey, Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio is out to highlight the music of independent artists, but not in the locals-only play form like Music Tampa Bay and Radio St. Pete. Pulse only came to be in the spring of 2021 with the ambition to stream music online and in a terrestrial broadcast. There About Page wukk tell you more.

It’s flatlining though.

I found Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio by chance last fall while researching college radio stations in Florida that accept music submission, Pulse Rado is not a college-tied property a-la WUTT Spartan Radio (University of Tampa) or SPC Radio, the music submission article just coincidentally came up high with that search.

There’s been no other media coverage for Pulse that I have crossed despite the fact an upstart radio property seeking an FCC license and trying to be big is a feature story.

It’s out there, but it’s not. The station’s online stream doesn’t load as of this writing, nor has it since Christmas week Why not? No explanation from TBPR on the main site, on their weblog (not updated since August) , or via social media…

In fact, they rarely post on Twitter (the more-common social media tool for radio), posting a dead-link the last time they did, while not

responding to questions and comments sent their way. That, and their Twitter account only has 12 followers while following 14 themselves. Not exactly ideal self-promotion there.

They’re on other, media platforms, including Spotify, but the fact is they aren’t going anywhere by way of it. Not when their involvement is nil.

The other killer fault for Pulse is charging musicians to submit music ($10 for up to 3 songs). Stations that accept submissions are bombarded with them, Add operational costs for the stations — many are non-profit voluntary operations – and you can understand stations charging for artists and labels to submit their music…

…which they don’t. I’ve only crossed a handful of ‘Net Radio stations true stations that do as such and one terrestrial, co,,unnity station that being in Los Angeles makes it a necessity.

For an unknown and struggling start-up to charge for submissions stops them except the few who have the cash and have the desperation.

I am not against a submission feen I’m surprised it’s not more common, but that comes later when you prove you have reach and the influence. TBPR lacks both.

Pulse Radio’s web site is well designed and flashes the station’s ambitions for success. Sadly, inconsistency in property management is part of Pulse Media: Pulse Media Magm Pulse, Radio’s sister, hosts its own web*version of TBPR intead of redirecting users to Pulse Radio’s site.

The way to look at Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio and hold out hope as a listener, indie musician, or a curious and interested local, is to realize the tech fact they are in BETA mode. They’re still at start-up and getting things together while chasing an FCC license. Only time will tell when Tampa Bay’s Pulse Radio’s beat will start in full and how rhythmic it will be.

UPDaTE: I have had email contact with TBPR. Issues had and have come into play that have delayed resumption of airplay. They estimate being back on-air on or around March 1st.

Unseen Sound: “Nothing Left to Say” By Michael McMillan

I caught this while listening to Lonely Oak Radio. “Nothing Left To Say” was released this month, and like too many songs I take interest in… I can’t find much on the performer. Michael McMillan is a common name – and a few use it on social media. Oh well.

Take a listen, whatchoo think? It reminds me in arrangement of Eric Clapton’s “Believe in Life”:

I added the track to the Underexposed playlist on Spotify.Not that the playlist gives much exposure, but I try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No schema found.

The Silvergeets are a Tasmanian indie group who I first crossed two years ago while listening on Lonely Oak Radio. This single was released just this past week (January 12th) and put onto media streaming on Thursday, January 15. It’s just shy of 4,200 listens on Spotify Who knows how it goes as the Northern Hemisphere learns of it…

The Aussie’s are haking in one way or another, Instead of taking responsibility, those in control are looking away or going away…


lyrics

It’s getting pretty hot round here
It must be just this time of year
The pressures of work well they’re making it clear
I’ve gotta be getting out of here

Think it’s time for a Holiday

I’ve got to get away
Gotta take my holiday
Jetset off to Hawaii
Don’t think anyone will mind

Look I don’t understand what’s the problem
C’mon It’s not like we’ve hit rock bottom now is it
Sure With PR there’s nothing to see here
Hey It’s just the same as every other year

Nothing Unprecedented

I know I’ll go and shake everybody’s hand Yep!
Every boy girl woman and man, yep every single bloody one of them
That’ll fix all their little problems
MATE Just watch the Test that’ll get you out of your doldrums

Hope the smoke don’t come back again

I’ve got to get away
Gotta take my holiday
Jetset off to Hawaii
Don’t think anyone will mind

Gotta take my holiday
I’ve got to get away
Don’t think anyone will mind
It’s just the perfect time

I’ve got to get away
Gotta take my holiday
Jetset off to Hawaii – You left everyone behind
Don’t think anyone will mind

You think anyone will mind? You left everyone behind
You think Anyone will mind? You left everyone behind
You Think Anyone will mind?

Looking for potential artists for “Johnny Fonts Indie A.c.”

Playlist curation does not take up much typing…

I’m talking big-time go-it-alone indie and unexposed artists. It may all be futile in the end as this playlist may never draw followers. Let alone listeners

If you’re on Twitter, submit songs in a reply to the above tweet. Only one song will b4 listed for any performer. Also, the songs must be of recent age (2 or 3 years). More rules may come up ir necessary, but that’s a nice starter set…

Background music to chill to can be round on this playlist

Do you want an extensive playlist of liter tunes to listen to while you’re at work or perhaps while you are studying? Want a playlist of music that you can pipe in as background music during a social engagement (that doesn’t DISTRACT)?

I’ve been putting together an extensive stream of music on Spotiy for the last yea-and-a-half or so. It’s almost entirely indie artists covering the genres of rock, pop, country, blues and folk among others. There is no explicit content either.

It’s chill music, plain and simple.

Songs in the queue for Spotify Playlist review

I’m approaching a year as a Spotify playlist curator, having started the Underexposed Soft Rock and Easy Listening playlist in May of 2018. While the playlist has amassed 107 followers in the time it’s been active, I don’t know how many of those “followers” actually listen. I’ve already talked about that downside of Spotify though, so I’ll move on.

The Underexposed playlist is at 137 songs, it’ll keep growing as time goes by, as will the Softer Side of Indie 2019 playlist as I cross songs that fit the angle I’m going for with that list.

How do I find the songs, though? While I’ve crossed some posted on Reddit’s Indie music community (which have tended to fit the Softer Side 2019 playlist most often), the majority of the songs I’ve posted on the Underexposed playlist have come from my listening to Lonely Oak Radio and other indie stations (Only Rock Radio, Catorweb, and Indie Star Radio primarily). When I cross a song that might fit the bill of the playlist, I put the name of the song and the artist into a txt file queue of songs to potentially add after review.

When an established band gets deemed as nothing

I like Reddit. I’ve already posted here about Reddit and promoting content on Reddit. I also know Reddit doesn’t work for everyone, especially at the community-level where commentary can get volatile and discussion stunted by way of sarcasm and reactionary responses.

I want to speak of ill I’ve encountered, but not a malicious incident. No, no, it’s posting restrictions that thwart participation. Subreddit’s having rules are a necessity or everything goes chaotic (or spam-laden), so I’m not trying to frown on rules here. It’s when they go too far and are over-reactive in an effort to… what, exactly? Read More

With indie music, what fans say can matter

Are you a fan of an indie band that’s actually got stuff out on the market? I don’t mean tracks-for-purchase on Bandcamp, I mean the major players – iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, CD Baby and the like. Is that small time band you like out there? Have you actually purchased tracks from them?

If your answer is “Yes”, I’ve got a follow up question for you: Have you written a review of the song or the album on those major shopping sites?

It’s something I’ve been noticing all too much with bands that aren’t going to get the hard line, big-time exposure that major record labels bring: They can be appreciated and looked fondly upon, but those same fans aren’t trying to spread the word or share the music to draw others in. A song or album review may just entice someone to at least check out a track that gets a good grade on Amazon. An album review may raise a group by just a notch (well, if the review is positive). And of course, sharing a track posted on YouTube, ReverbNation or Soundcloud on social media is the most direct attempt by a fan to draw in more attention to a group or a specific song.

Some songs need all the help they can get. It’s odd how songs that have been out in public view for several years have only a handful of listens in some cases. Oh, music videos draw people in but bands just getting started aren’t likely to have music videos. They do offer their songs for stream via YouTube, though.

(Side note: It’d help if the artists would properly title their music posts; just going by the song name does not necessarily make the song easily findable in web searches or on YouTube. Titles should be the band name followed by the song title.)

In the end, even if an artist or group have someone promoting their work, the fans and their own involvement at spreading the word to help boost the music. If you’re a fan of music by a certain artist, don’t just sit on that fact. Tell the public why you’re a fan or what you think about the music by a small-time group that you have in your library.

Exposing songs from Music Tampa Bay’s Top 100 list of 2016

Indie music is…well, independent to the point it adds additional responsibilities to the artist to expose their tunes to the masses. Sometimes that comes with ease. Sometimes that’s an afterthought.

I cited the other day when talking about Gypsy Star, keeps a competitive Top-40 list (which listeners and web visitors vote on). At the end of the year, the songs that rank highest in votes on the Top 40 are piled into a Top 100 song list. The site has a page devoted to the listings from several years – though the lists are graphics and somewhat illegible. It doesn’t really get the songs out there or make it easy for you to actually find them online.

This post is an attempt at changing that. I’ve taken the 2016 Top 100 listing from Music Tampa Bay and converted the image to an actual list. To build on that, to actually expose the artists who ranked so well to make this list, I’ve hyperlinked to as many of the songs as I could find.

While these are supposed to be Tampa Bay based artists, some have national attention (Four Star Riot among others). Also, while this list was for 2016 – some of the songs were published before then and I don’t mean just a year earlier.

The ranking of the songs itself is based off of votes cast in the Top 40 listing. I can’t say this was pure song rankings, or as if there was no “fix” regarding the top 10; don’t take the order as an opinionated or fine performance ranking. It’s just voting.

As of this writing, 80 out of the 100 songs are linked to so you can take them in yourself. I’ve linked to YouTube most of the time, but other places such as Reverb Nation and Soundcloud also get linking. Spotify contains many of the songs, including non-linked songs (I decided against using Spotify due to the forced registration to use the service). Some of those unlinked songs also are readily available on commercial sites such as Amazon or iTunes – this isn’t a sales-pitch though, so I didn’t link to any of that either.

Some of these songs, despite being listed as Top 100 and having age and radio play on Music Tampa Bay (at least) had never been viewed on YouTube by the time I crossed them while compiling this piece. Some came off as deeply hidden.  It sort of furthers the point of limited exposure.

This article remains an ongoing project as I’d like to get music genre listed next to each song… I mean, c’mon! You’ve likely never heard of most (if not all) of these artists and you’re not exactly encouraged to blindly click to a song. At least knowing it’s supposed to be pop, rock, country, folk, etc. will encourage where you go.

Also, as this remains an ongoing project, if you can provide a link for a non-linked song that would be great. Just use comments below or contact me via email with a link. Read More
