1000 streams still feels low.

714 million Spotify listeners in 2025. 1000 users is 0.00014%. I guess though by "streams" you don't even need that many users. You could just use friends and family.

Lol friends and family are the least to care about artists art it is always people they don't know who are the biggest fans
