To me a single is whatever you deem a single to be. Something to play in the clubs/radio that's catchy and has potential to become popular. I don't necessarily agree with that these days understanding that artists can literally breakout in many ways with the rise of the internet and these apps. I'm here to ask the community, what is considered a single these days? I'm not about pushing my artists to do tiktok type songs just to break into the industry, but is that something that needs to be done?

I know EVERYONE says drop singles because "nobody" is trying to listen to multiple songs from a new artist. I think it's a double edged sword because if a real fan discovers you then they don't have much more to dive into. On the other side, with a single you can focus your marketing dollars on 1 song. You run the risk of it being the "wrong" song instead of a project where there's multiple songs where the fans and data will show you which one should be the "single".

A friend of mine has had some success with breaking artists on the college radio in the past. He mentioned that acts like Mims and Bonecrusher garnering substantial buzzes on the college radio scene. Since college radio isn't controlled by the payola system that governs most terrestrial radio and Top 40 stations, the independents have a better shot at pushing their singles on these stations. I've included a Free Download of an updated College Radio PDF for anybody who wants it. The game is to be uploaded and shared with the homies

Was watching this KTO Interview with this artist named Lunchbox, and he mentioned that early on he was in a Twitter group chat where he met a bunch of artists including Yeat, Summrs, and KanKan. (Video Linked below) Have any of you had success with building communities on twitter? How do you go about finding other artists to work and build with?
