Good Things Come (early) To Those Who Wait

If you have not heard, AOL posted their listening party on KOL for The Distance sometime during the night last night. I am sure they have not received any complaints for debuting it early.

If you haven't done so, be sure to bookmark the site on AOL and stream your music from there. The music industry and radio definitely watch what a CD or single does on AOL Music. In fact, Billboard actually publishes a weekly chart of the top 10 Audio Streams and Top 10 Video Streams on AOL along with their other industry charts.

AOL Music draws more than 20 million unique visitors per month, so getting Taylor Hicks and The Distance seen on AOL is great promotion.

If you don't have your own playlist on AOL, they are easy to do, and you can fill one up with Taylor's music. Be sure to try that feature. You can also listen to other playlists people have created.

Stream the album, let's make Taylor Hicks heard on AOL Music.

  1. Which will give Taylor the biggest boost? Streaming it directly or making a playlist? Ü

  3. Hey evancol- does it get the same rating or exposure if it's on AOL Kid? I'm thrilled- don't get me wrong- but why would they put it on the kids' site? Is that where all the music go? Or are they thinking that Taylor doesn't appeal to a serious adult audience? Hope I'm reading more into this than there really is. It is such a fantastic album, I just hate to see it get long in kiddieland.
