Why the First 24 Hours After Release Are Crucial

TutorialVideo1 min view
The first 24 hours after your track drops are absolutely critical—it’s when the algorithm is watching. Whether it’s Volumo, YouTube, or Instagram, that initial burst of plays, saves, shares, and engagement tells the platform, ‘Hey, this is worth pushing.’ If you can rally your fans, friends, and network to support right away, you’ve got a better shot at landing on algorithmic playlists or getting more visibility. So don’t just hit upload and chill—have content ready to post, reach out to your mailing list, and be active in the comments. That first day sets the tone for your entire release cycle.
