๐ Music marketing for indie and major artists
๐ Charting, Spotify playlisting, video promotion, press
๐ค Real results, transparent reporting | VM Agency
The VM Top 30 is updated for the week of June 26.
This is the independent music chart, the place where unsigned and indie artists earn their spot on merit, not on who they know. Here is the current Top 10:
01 Hudson Freeman, If You Know Me
02 Dove Ellis, Pale Song
03 Folk Bitch Trio, The Actor
04 fakemink, MAKKA
05 Lily Seabird, Election Day (new this week)
06 Die Spitz, Throw Yourself to the Sword
07 Ecca Vandal, Cruising to Self Soothe
08 mary in the junkyard, Crash Landing
09 Haute & Freddy, Freaks
10 Mon Rovรฎa, Heavy Foot (moving up fast)
Here is the part that matters for you. Every artist who charts gets submitted to our network of A&R reps and record labels, and it never costs a thing. No fee, no catch. If you are independent and you want real eyes on your music, this is one of the easiest shots you can take.

The artists who win aren't the most talented. They're the ones who understand the system.
Our full 2026 strategy for independent artists is free: product, brand, release cadence, streaming, and how to stack moments into a career.

Exciting news! This record is soaring with 1.5 million views in just a few days! Letโs keep this momentum going.
When promotion and marketing are done right, the results are astonishing.
Key to release success: understanding timing and algorithms. Early success can significantly influence your entire campaign. Here's what matters most:
Your thumbnail: Make it catchy and custom. A high CTR (click-through ratio) prompts YouTube to boost your video's visibility.
Clean version of your song: If it's not radio-friendly, it won't fly organically. YouTube restricts content with guns, excessive cursing, or explicit visuals. Create content you can monetize!
Insider tip: Before a release, we set videos to be unlisted and promote them quietly. This builds engagement, giving us an edge over the algorithm. When we go live, thereโs already significant activity, putting us in the driver's seat.
Budgeting and goal-setting are crucial. Major labels often opt for 60/40 campaigns, initially focusing on a broad reach and then honing in on specific targets.
Each client is a unique journey for us, and we craft strategies based on individual data and goals.
