Apolone.com - Playlisting Red Flags and Platform issues
Apolone.com is legitimate and they had a digital article with a really catchy headline written up on one of my music releases fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the playlists that they use aren't very legitimate. In one month, I had a significant spike in listeners in streams, which is a red flag to most distributors. The playlists that my song was added to were removed two months after the campaign which signifies irregular streams or manipulated streaming. This is a big red flag to distributors. So if you want your music to stay on Spotify during the time that they are policing independent artists and playlists, try to avoid Apolone. It would NOT be a good investment for the headache you may receive fighting with your distributor to keep your music on their platform.
