Promote Your Brand, Business, or Music on Thousand Beats
Thousand Beats brings brands and businesses in front of a global audience of listeners who stream and download music every day and night — across the US, UK, Europe, Africa, Asia, and beyond.
1. A Global, Always-On Audience
Thousand Beats receives daily and nightly traffic from visitors who take action — streaming and downloading songs — across the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Estonia, Australia, across Asia, and across Africa including Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Egypt, as well as Canada and Brazil. Most of our ad inventory supports brand promotions, business and non-business promotions, and music promotion.
2. Free Music Promotion, Every Time
All song promotions on Thousand Beats are free. Giving independent artists free exposure is the reason Thousand Beats exists. Artists who want to go further — placing their music above the free listings and at the top of search results — can create a paid promotion, the same way any other business does, to boost their track higher than the standard free promotion tier.
3. Thousandplay: Our Media Player
Thousandplay is the media player built into Thousand Beats. It gives listeners three ways to enjoy music:
- Stream and play any song directly on the platform.
- Download tracks to play offline on any device.
- Access premium songs, which are restricted from download on the regular thousandbeats.com web interface but playable in Thousandplay.
4. Thousand News
Thousand News is our built-in news channel, offering both regional/demographic news and international news. Newscasters are paid based on readership — the same way artists are paid for stream-only songs.
5. How Artists Get Paid
Artists who set their songs to stream-only earn royalties from plays. Songs made available for both streaming and download do not currently earn royalties.
6. Uploading Your Music
Artists can upload their own songs, or send tracks to our team to be uploaded for free. Direct artist account creation isn't available yet, but is expected within 90 days.
