Taylor can easily get on radio playlists. Unknown artists cannot. They CAN get on Apple music, spotify, etc. There's no way to get known beyond local clubs without the free exposure.
- nevi-me 11y agoYes, unknown artists can't, but the point is that they are going 3 months without income. There have been many local one-hit-wonders in my country, make a decent album with one or two 'hit' singles, and never get enough money to stay afloat. Hence the one-hit-wonder bit. If it took me 6 months of no income to produce an album, then as I release it I go 3 months with no income (assuming that Apple is the only streaming service, and that people choose to stream instead of buy). By the time the 3 months are over, people have moved on to something else. This hurts me as I don't recover my expenses. Taylor mentioned that she can support herself, team, etc. The unknown mostly can't, so the trial hurts them.
