Beat

What are the chances of getting this beat from my catalog (https://bsta.rs/Ab3WX) featured in the marketplace's "Popular" section? Just take a look at the number of plays and likes it has—it could be a great revenue opportunity for the platform. I didn't have much budget for promotion after it dropped off the "Popular" list (even though it was there before), yet there are beats with far fewer plays—40k or 50k—that stay in the "Popular" section for weeks. Is this possible? It’s the only request I have.

    Hey, thank you for sharing this, and massive respect for having a beat reach the Popular section in the first place. That's a real achievement.

    We want to be transparent with you: the Popular section is driven entirely by our algorithm, which factors in signals like recent plays, engagement, licensing activity, and momentum over time. Because of this, we're not able to manually add or reinstate individual tracks.

    The good news is that beats with proven traction can absolutely find their way back. Keeping your profile active, engaging your audience, and driving traffic to the beat can all help signal relevance to the algorithm. Your catalog is clearly resonating with people.

    Thanks again for being part of the BeatStars community. Keep creating.
