So, at least for me, Bandcamp, is an evil joke. My stats for almost 4 years don’t even amount to one days plays on streaming platforms, Spotify included. I’m not expecting any better results from tomorrow’s activity. But if youre interested, my bandcamp page is at https://jaypeach.bandcamp.com/
Well, the stats for my music continue to flatline, with Spotify continuing to be a drag on my progress. Spotify now only contributes about 5-10% of my total streams in a month, whereas it supposedly has 30% of the streaming market. It continues to be in 4th or 5th place in my most popular platforms. Ugh. I get most of my plays (and money) on Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Meta platforms and YouTube.
I just hit a milestone on TikTok, 1000 followers!
I’m psyched! I just checked the data from Amazon Music’s artist app and got some terrific news. I’ve spoken here and on social media about the need of artists with smaller followings to wean themselves off of Spotify. Spotify makes money off our streams, but has recently said that they won’t pay artists until they get 1000 streams per track. What they didn’t say that once you get to the 1000 stream threashhold, whether you get backpay, or whether they confiscate the $.0032 perstream they owe you.
Anyway, now for, to me, the exciting news. Here’s the screenshot from Amazon on some stats. They show I’m doing better than most artists in my listener category in the “Daily Voice Index”. I know the numbers aren’t so high, but I’ve only been promoting Amazon Music and Apple Music to my fans for a few months. So progress is progress. I currently make more money from both of them than I do under Spotify’s old rules. And since Spotify will essentially shaft smaller artists, I feel that abandoning Spotify is in my best interest.
as the title says, new stats from ReverbNation show I’m still making a good showing. The picture says it all

This is the latest report from ReverbNation! Fourth place!
Yes, this is a poll. Answer if you like.
So, if I decide to set up a store, how many of you might be interested in purchasing something?
For your information, there’s a website that has links to the various platforms which have Jay Peach’s catalog. The site is http://Linktr.ee/jaypeach53. Happy listening!
Well, the December 19 stats are out on Reverbnations and the outlook is good! I advanced one place in the standings to 6 th place in Electronica artists in Las Vegas.
