What Happened

Ambient piano is one of Spotify’s highest-performing genres for passive listening — and this campaign proved exactly why targeted placement matters. With a 10-song campaign running across focus, relaxation, and sleep playlists simultaneously, the artist maintained a consistent 20,000+ streams per day throughout the entire 28-day window.

The 5.49 streams-per-listener ratio is the standout metric — nearly double the industry average. Ambient listeners don’t just discover a track; they put it on repeat. Combined with 19,518 playlist adds and 4,602 saves, this campaign built a deeply engaged audience that keeps coming back.

Emitha’s promotion directly contributed over 120,000 streams — a measurable, attributable result on top of the artist’s existing organic performance.
