Treat your early release performance as an experiment. Launch your song, implement your strategy to drive early velocity, and meticulously track the results. If you hit your targets for streams, listeners, and saves (especially the save-to-listener ratio), you have a "winning" song. At this point, you can confidently scale your promotional efforts, knowing that Spotify's algorithm is now on your side, pushing your music to new audiences who are highly likely to engage.
