9. The Appearance on Spotify: "Appears On"

Part 2 • Technical Execution of the Waterfall Strategy (UPC/ISRC)

When correctly executed, the Waterfall Strategy will result in your tracks having multiple "Appears On" entries on their Spotify track page. For example, "Song A" will show that it "Appears On" its original single, the 2-track EP, the 3-track EP, and the final 4-track EP. This visually confirms that all streams and data from those different products are correctly attributed to the same underlying recording (ISRC) and compounding its momentum.
