Some of these tracks will never be heard, especially if they don’t meet the minimum requirements to stay on the streaming platform. With 100,000 new tracks being uploaded to Deezer (and each of the other streaming services) every day, there’s an enormous amount of competition for the limited time in the day that listeners have. In fact, Spotify is now getting close to that, as it will no longer pay royalties on a track unless its received 1,000 plays in the last 12 months.
