Up to December 2023, when Jango Radio/Radioairplay revamped their website, artists were offered good exposure of their music at a decent price. But after December 2023 things changed for the worse. I have always bought 1000 play credits a month for $30. If your songs get played a lot you get bonus points every month: in my case the average was about 350 a month – one-third of what I purchased per month, which was quite good.
But when they revised the website they apparently altered the algorhythms, and not in the artists’ favor. In December 2023 I had 396 bonus points and had been getting on average 350/month for the last 10 months, but in January 2024 I received 222. Before December 2023 I could see that people were listening to my song almost every hour in a 24 hour period, but after the website’s revision there were 4-10 hour gaps during a 24 hour period. I contacted support@redacted complain, who do respond promptly. I sent over 40 screenshots to back up my logical argument with actual statistics and proof, but my argument was dismissed. The agent, Tara, simply assured me this was normal but provided absolutely no evidence to support her conclusion, and her logic was pathetic. SHE DID NOTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION. Frankly, she didn’t seem to give a damn.
SO, I SAY TO PEOPLE CONSIDERING JOINING AND EVEN TO THOSE ALREADY SUBSCRIBED, THE GOOD AND FAIR DAYS ARE GONE AT JANGO RADIO/RADIOAIRPLAY.
