How it works

One link. One goal. Everyone moves it.

WaveMaker is a 60-second setup that turns a Spotify link into a coordinated release week, built on verified actions from real listeners (not bots).

The arc of a release

From "drop day" to a moment your room carried.

Six steps. The first three are the artist setting the stage. The last three are the room carrying it.

  • Step 01
    Artist
    Create a campaign

    Pick a track, a goal (streams, saves, playlist adds, or a combined launch score), and how long you want the push to run.

  • Step 02
    Artist
    Share one clean link

    WaveMaker gives you a single campaign URL. Drop it in stories, bios, group chats, wherever your people are.

  • Step 03
    Artist
    Stack rewards

    Voice notes, demos, merch drops, hidden tracks. Set milestones at 25%, 50%, 100%. They unlock automatically.

  • Step 04
    Fans
    Fans join with Spotify

    Listeners connect Spotify in one tap. No app downloads, no fake accounts. Just the room showing up.

  • Step 05
    Fans
    Real actions move the meter

    Streams, saves, shares, and playlist adds get verified through Spotify and added to the total in real time.

  • Step 06
    Fans
    The room carries it

    Hit milestones, rewards drop for everyone who showed up, and the supporter board names the fans who moved it.

Anatomy of a campaign

Every action carries weight, and shows it.

Different actions affect a release in different ways. WaveMaker weights them honestly and shows the math on every campaign.

Stream

Pays royalties. The baseline signal of a release.

20×
Save

Feeds Release Radar and Discover Weekly far beyond the play itself.

50–200×
Playlist add

One engaged fan's playlist quietly racks up streams all year.

🔥
Pre-save

Locked-in support before release day. The algorithm notices.

Compounds
Share

Brings new listeners. WaveMaker tracks who they came from.

100%
Tip

Goes directly to the artist. No platform cut.

Once campaigns are live, you'll see real-time streams, saves, playlist adds, pre-saves, and shares stacking up here — every action verified, every number earned.

Verified, not vanity

Every action on WaveMaker is an authenticated event from a real Spotify account. No bots. No farms. Ever.

  • OAuth-verified Spotify identity
  • Server-side action validation
  • Fraud flags on suspicious patterns

Your Inner Circle stays yours

The fans who carried a release become a list you keep. The same room you can rally on the next drop.

  • Named supporters on every campaign (paid)
  • Direct messaging to your Inner Circle
  • Full export of your audience and analytics (paid)

Free profiles see aggregate counts; paid plans unlock identities, contact, and export.

Quick answers

Do fans need a WaveMaker account?
Fans connect with Spotify in one tap. A WaveMaker account is created automatically. No separate signup needed.
Does this work for unreleased tracks?
Yes. Pre-save campaigns lock in support before release day and convert automatically when the track drops.
What does it cost?
Your artist page is free forever, including your first launch campaign. After that, $19/mo for unlimited campaigns. You always keep your fans, your tips, and your data.
Will this game the algorithm?
No, and that's the point. WaveMaker only counts real, verified listener actions. The algorithm rewards them because they're authentic.
