Audiomack’s “Premiere Access” records groundbreaking revenue feat with Laycon’s Premiere Access song release.
In less than a month of launching its Premiere Access feature, Audiomack has recorded a groundbreaking result with Nigerian rapper & songwriter Laycon.
During the first week in his Premiere Access release, Laycon’s song “God Body V2” generated 5x revenue vs streaming alone.
Premiere Access which was launched recently by Audiomack is a first-of-its-kind feature that
allows artists to reward their biggest fans by making a yet-to-be-released song or album
available on Audiomack before its wide release.
Premiere Access provides a new way for artists on Audiomack to generate revenue beyond the
traditional form of streaming. Now, artists can upload their work to Audiomack, select the
Premiere Access feature if they are enrolled in the Audiomack Monetization Program (AMP),
and select the period of exclusivity for their release’s supporters.
The Premiere Access feature was launched with Laycon and several other top-performing artists such as Nigerian super producer Pheelz, Starboy Producer and DJ Tunez and U.S. singer Almira Zaky.
