TIDAL is giving ten indie artists $100,000 each. Yes… 100K.
If you’ve got an original track sitting on your hard drive, this might be the moment you finally upload it.

TIDAL just launched Upload, a new feature that lets artists put music straight onto the platform without a distributor. And to kick it off, they’re running a massive contest:

From Nov 13 to Dec 31, ten artists who upload an original track will win $100,000 to fund their next creative chapter.
No fees. No middlemen. Just upload publicly and you’re in the running.

There’s also the new Spotlight program where, if your track gets playlisted, you earn 100 dollars a day for each day it stays featured.
Exposure + money… a rare combo in this industry.

However, one important caveat:
According to TIDAL’s FAQs, tracks uploaded through this tool do not earn streaming royalties. This feature is about access, discovery, and getting heard, not monetized streams.

Still, for indie artists trying to break through fast, it’s a huge opportunity.

Trying to get in front of managers, agents, labels, and music tech weirdos all in one place? This is your shot.
Final deadline to apply to showcase: Friday, Nov 21
(yes… it’s coming fast)

Some quick tips before you submit:

List everywhere your music’s been featured (even fan playlists count)
Be thorough… the reviewer might not know you yet. Help them see the full picture.
Don’t overthink it. Just be real and complete.

SXSW isn’t just a performance. It’s where artists get discovered by the people who shape what’s next.

Uh, this is not a drill. 🚨 Spotify is being sued over BILLIONS of alleged fake streams… and Drake is at the center of it.

A new class-action lawsuit claims a “substantial” number of Drake’s 37 billion streams came from bots…and that Spotify knowingly let it happen. 🤖

Here’s why it matters to EVERY artist:

🎵 Spotify uses a *pro-rata* payment system → all streams share one fixed “pot” of money.
🎵 Fake streams = smaller share of royalties for real artists.
🎵 The suit claims some Drake tracks were streamed 23 HOURS a DAY by bot networks.

Drake’s team hasn’t commented. Spotify says they “heavily invest” in fighting artificial streams.

But if true… this could reshape how streaming royalties work forever.

💬 So what do you think: Is streaming broken? Should platforms like Spotify be held responsible for fake plays?

Wait, what? 🤯 For the FIRST TIME since 1990, there are ZERO rap songs in the Billboard Top 40.
A new chart rule kicked out Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s hit “Luther,” and no other rap song has taken its place. The 35-year streak is officially over.
So what does this mean? 👇
• Is rap’s commercial era fading?
• Are pop stars just using rap’s sound now?
• Or is this just a weird moment?
This isn’t just a chart story—it’s a full-on music culture shift. Who do YOU think will be the next rapper to break back into the Top 40? 🎤

“The algorithm hates indie artists…”
That’s what Sophia James thought before her “Group 7” experiment went viral.
She was tired. Out of ideas. She almost didn’t post the 7th video.
This is your sign to post that “random” idea you have. Your unique strategy is your superpower.

🪦 RIP to the era of forever-charting hits…
Billboard just changed the rules….again.
Songs can no longer sit on the Hot 100 for eternity just because streaming won’t let them die.
Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control”? Gone.
Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem”? Bye.
Bruno + Gaga’s “Die With a Smile”? P**f.
New chart rules mean if your song slows down… it’s out. No more chart zombies clogging up space.
So what does this mean for artists?
🔥 Faster turnover
📈 More shots for new songs
👋 Goodbye to 2-year-long chart runs
Honestly? Kind of refreshing.

Every songwriter has to write songs that suck. The difference is, some stop. Others keep going.
