flow and recommendations
Flow is Deezer's endless, personal mix of favorite songs and new tracks. as on other platforms, listener signals determine whether a song appears there: full listens, favorites, repetitions. a release that gets its first listeners from its own community therefore has a better chance than one that appears without promotion.
the artist-centric model
Deezer has restructured its royalty model in favor of artists with a genuine listenership: artists who regularly achieve a certain minimum number of streams from different listeners are weighted more heavily, and actively sought-out songs count more than randomly played background music. for you, this means that fans who specifically search for you are particularly valuable on Deezer.
