A few words from the artists who've put codes up here.
May I say I am thrilled with the results with GET MUSIC! In less than 3 weeks my Bandcamp follower count has risen by 86%, I've received hundreds of additional streams I otherwise wouldn't have. Further, it appears there's been a knock-on with a spike in Spotify activity also, presumably punters who utilise both platforms. In even less time my old band THE GELS has received a 114% rise in Bandcamp followers and generated real sales. I wasn't sure what to expect when I joined GET MUSIC, but I certainly wasn't expecting this. It's a staggering result.
I honestly cannot remember how I functioned as an indie artist without GetMusic. In fact, the site does so much of the work for me, I've actually let my other promotional activities slide! For a long time I was a "Free" or "Pay What You Want" artist, but had little traction. Even though listeners getting codes through GetMusic is still technically free, there's a psychological reward when cashing tokens for music you'd normally pay for. Just by offering codes through GetMusic, my listeners have grown by 70% or more. Along with providing links to song downloads, GetMusic is constantly popping up on the socials with graphics of new releases, either solo or grouped with other new tracks. I myself am often drawn to new music thanks to these arresting graphics. GetMusic's stats are also great for reposting and reminding listeners of your newest tracks or albums. Along with Bandcamp, GetMusic is an essential tool for the indie artist.
I'm super pleased. You've almost doubled my followers, and surprisingly, I got a fair number of sales, too!
The views, sales, and followers increased, and honestly, I had a great experience.
Through the golden age of vapor- and adjacentwave Twitter, I remained a devout consumer and user of the #freealbumcodes hashtag. As Elon Musk turned the platform into a shithole, you can ask my wife: Losing touch with that network really sent me into a depression. Most thankfully, it looks like all the big players have made their way over to Blue Sky and used GetMusic.fm to help keep the scene(s) alive. There might be no one in the entire music ecosystem of 2026, mainstream or not, doing more right now to help DIY and grassroots musicians find paying audiences all over the world more than Chuck and this website. For what we can get back of the old connectivity, I know it means the world to songwriters and composers at my level.
GetMusic has increased our engagement immensely in a short time. Fans being able to return to an album in their collection quickly has also led to more sales in the long run. GetMusic is a must-have for any musician or label who wants to keep fans engaged while simultaneously finding new ones.
I stumbled upon GetMusic on Reddit a few years ago. I had an excellent conversation with the owner and was captivated by the concept of connecting my music on Bandcamp to not only expand my fan base but also connect with other artists. Over the years, I’ve amassed a vast collection of singles and albums, and some of these albums are among my all-time favorites! GetMusic stands as a platform that champions indie artists and facilitates connections that we could never have envisioned.
GetMusic.FM is the best $10 we have ever spent to advertise. We have had a noticible uptick in streams and unique listeners on the major sites including more Shazams. And the icing on the cake; online radio stations are picking up our music to play on their shows without us having to submit and hoping it is something they will like. Promotion that actually works.
I'm really glad that I did this now. I've got the most daily Bandcamp streams that I've ever had, plus 20 download code redemptions so far today, and a load of new followers.
