Beyond the Platform

We’re bringing back the weighted distribution from the most-popular DSP platform, Spotify! Now, fans are able to share in the success of an artist’s music beyond the Gala Music platform. This is a step in a positive direction of the gamified platform that taps into general music lovers’ instincts for listening, but rewards you with $MUSIC on our platform. 

In this evolved distribution model, artists and track owners are able to benefit from tracks streamed on Spotify by being rewarded in $MUSIC. The $MUSIC token is at the heart of the Gala Music ecosystem. The better the artist’s track performs on Spotify, the more $MUSIC tokens track owners and artists receive. It’s a seamless integration that gives artists an even bigger incentive to promote their music everywhere. 

Now, you will find a DSP general star rating based on total DSP listens compared to all other tracks on the Gala Music platform. To receive this portion of the distribution, a track must perform better than the bottom 35% of tracks listened on the Gala Music platform OR must perform better than the bottom 35% of DSP streams.

Track Earnings

Track earnings are now based on 1) platform listens (5x for exclusives will still be around) 2) $MUSIC held against an artist, and 3) the track DSP rating. Though this will reduce exclusive track owners earning, the bigger vision is more inclusive of encapsulating artists success holistically. 

In conclusion

This re-integration brings us one percent closer to our overall goal of supporting creators and artists fairly and substantively. This also foreshadows an engaging and meaningful product development on the horizon for Gala Music aiming to revolutionize the way we consume music, support the artists whose music we hold dear to our hearts, and is all around a BLAST to participate in. As we continue building towards this vision, we have one thing to say …. Give us your best MIXTAPE title 😜
