How does it work?

As you might know, most streaming services recommend tracks based on what similar people are listening to. If someone similar to me listens and likes “Fred Again”, chances are I’ll be recommended “Fred Again”.

That obviously works well for artists that are already being heard. But what about all of the songs that don’t have any plays yet? Well, that’s exactly the problem with most music algorithms. They simply can’t recommend tracks with zero plays. If no one has listened yet, they’ve got no signals.

Our new Next Pro feature “First Fans” changes the game. Using AI, we can quickly analyze tracks and surface them to listeners who are likely to enjoy it. Even if they’re just uploaded and have zero plays.
