Years ago, there used to be a site where I uploaded our first musical exercises and drafts. It's name was reverbnation.com. ReverbNation is a website that focuses on the independent music industry. It aims to provide a central site for musicians, producers, and venues to collaborate and communicate.
I haven't been to the site for years, because it was blocked from Turkey, probably due to copyright problems. Some members from our country were uploading copyrighted songs to the site on their behalf. Probably this caused a block for the site.
Recently, it was reported with consecutive e-mails from the site, that the number of our followers increased rapidly. When I went in and looked with the help of VPN, I saw that several hundred people had started to follow in the last few weeks. What really surprised me was that we were ranked 600-odd in the Global Indie Charts, the "most listened to" list that the site keeps among its members. At that moment, it was nice to be in the 600th place, not even in the top thousand, for a site that is said to have 4 million users. But the surprising developments did not stop there. In about a week, the ranking in these 600s continued to rise rapidly, reaching the 54th place as of today. What can I say, I really like it :) I was shocked by this out-of-the-box attention on a site I hadn't been interested in for years and hadn't posted anything new. Frankly, I think the reason for this interest may be our newly released album "Last Day of the World", which has increased the number of our followers and listeners on Spotify several hundred times.
