Doing These Things Will Make Sure Your Music Won’t Get Played On The Radio

Trying to make a living in the music business and gaining some sense of success is a pretty tough thing to do. While the ways you can share your music have become much easier in modern times, the sheer amount of competition makes getting discovered much more difficult.

According to Music Business Online, a music business publication, there are currently more than 253 million songs that have been uploaded to streaming services worldwide. When you break down the data from Luminate, which published a year-end state of music report for 2025, they estimate that nearly 38 million songs were released in 2025, giving us an average of 106,000 songs being created every single day.

With so much music, finding outlets that exist to highlight music from unsigned and up-and-coming artists is essential. For years, radio stations like Power 93.7 WBLK have led the way in giving the rappers and singers in the Buffalo area multiple opportunities to have their music played on the radio. With outlets and opportunities like The 716 Spotlight, 716 Power Jam, and Homegrown Heat The 716 Show, WBLK continues to make sure the people can hear the best Buffalo has to offer.
