| Playlist Adds | 2,890 |

What Happened
This campaign is a textbook example of playlist promotion igniting rapid growth. Starting from near zero, daily streams climbed steadily throughout the 28-day window — reaching a peak of 1,468 streams per day by close, with the trajectory still pointing sharply upward.
The 2,890 playlist adds in a single month signal that rock listeners weren’t just discovering these tracks — they were saving them for repeat listening. A 2.92 streams-per-listener ratio confirms strong audience engagement well above passive discovery levels.
With 731 new followers gained in 28 days, this artist didn’t just gain streams — they built a fanbase. And with the campaign closing on an upward trajectory, the algorithmic momentum generated continued to drive growth beyond the promotion window.
