What Our Artists Say
"TuneCore has been instrumental in helping me build my career, from distributing my music to streaming platforms to helping me reach new audiences with TuneCore Accelerator, they have been with me through every step of my journey as an artist. TuneCore Accelerator has directly increased my streaming numbers by millions, allowing me to find new listeners and helping to push All I've Ever Known to the top of the iTunes album charts."
"I was extremely grateful when The Droptines were asked to be apart of their Accelerator program. Once we started using Accelerator our streams and playlists took a huge jump which has allowed us to book more shows outside of our home state and get big time festival looks. Thank you Tunecore!"
"With TuneCore, I have the freedom to create exactly what I want, collaborate with artists who inspire me, and release my music on my own terms. TuneCore Accelerator has pushed my career even further in the past year by securing playlist features, getting my music in front of new listeners, and helping me gain millions of new streams. It’s all about doing things my way and making sure my music reaches the people who truly connect with it."
My first ever editorial playlist for a song I released independently was “pov: final girl” which was definitely because of TuneCore Accelerator - this playlist connected me with the goth pop sub-genre music appreciators I previously had been missing- and from there I feel Spotify algorithmically understood me and my music more and I’m finally getting played near artists like me."
