I got 100 million plays… and 20 monthly listeners

Posted by SAGEGREEN86s - June 13th, 2025


So here’s a fun little paradox.


Over the past few months, my beats have been used in a ton of YouTube Shorts. Not on my channel, of course, other people’s. The total views? Over 100 million.

Yes. Million with an “M.”

And yet... my Spotify monthly listeners? A humble 20. Not 20K. Just 20. Like, two basketball teams.

Apparently, the music is popular, but the guy who made it? Not so much.


So I’m turning to you wise folks of Newgrounds:

How do I turn all this anonymous clout into actual fans?

How do I connect the dots between “people enjoying my music” and “people knowing I exist”?

If you’ve got advice, strategies, or even just sympathy, I’m all ears.


Even better if it comes with memes.

Love,


SAGEGREEN

In a beautiful twist of fate (or a cosmic joke), my Newgrounds fan count has magically aligned with my Spotify monthly listeners.
It’s like the universe looked at my stats and said,
"Yeah, twenty sounds about right."
I guess I’ve reached the rare status of being consistently unknown across platforms.

At this point, I might start offering personalized thank-you notes to each one.
They deserve it. They’ve achieved what marketing teams dream of: perfect brand consistency in obscurity.

While I could say some stuff about YT, in the end, this is a YT-issue. Your best bet to improve the situation would be to approach their (YT-)community forums (if they still have those) and ask the people there how to capitalize better on your... "asymmetric fame".

Thanks for the advice.
You’re right, some challenges do come straight from the platform itself.
I’ll definitely check out the YouTube community forums and see what tips or tricks the people there might have for turning this “asymmetric fame” into something more solid.
Sometimes the best insights come from the community itself, so I appreciate the direction.
Hopefully, with a bit of help, I can finally connect the dots between all those views and actual fans.

@SAGEGREEN86s I wish you luck!
