As they say, “practice makes perfect,” and if you choose to focus on a specific genre, you’ll see increased success when you release singles with that tag. Of course, there are benefits to specialization.

Keep an eye on the rising trends, train your group accordingly, and you can position yourself to profit when certain genres become popular. Right now, it looks like “vaporwave” music is growing in popularity. It seems like the time we spent to unlock this specialized sub-genre of electronic music has paid off.

You’ll receive a set number of “tokens” that you can use on promotional activities based on how much money you decide to spend. But there’s potentially more than just money to be gained: a successful single also increases your group’s exposure, creating opportunities to acquire new fans.įirst, we need to plan the budget to promote the release of the new single.
