Help & FAQs
The things people ask most.
What is Music Friends?
The way to get your release heard. It lays out what to do and when, around the time you have, and when your release needs a push, Happy Mag’s team runs a campaign for it, built on our editorial.
Is it free?
The planner is free. Campaigns are paid once, in Australian dollars.
What’s in a campaign?
It depends on the level. Each one is spelled out on the campaigns page, and you can watch each one play out day by day before you pick.
How long does a campaign run?
Signal runs for a week, Presence for two and Amplification for three. Your song stays on the Weekly Mixtape for one, two or three months.
When can it start?
The earliest start is a week after you lock it in. Once you’ve paid, we’re in touch within one business day and set up your campaign page.
What do you need from me?
A bio, a press release or the basics about the release, a couple of high-res press shots (landscape is ideal), and the streaming link, or an mp3 or wav if it’s not out yet. We need them at least a week before the start.
How do I pay?
By card, through a secure Stripe link.
Where do I see how it’s going?
On your campaign page. Each part shows up as it goes live, with the reach, times seen and clicks as they come in.
What are Music Friends Charts?
Our weekly chart of new music sent to Happy Mag. Listens on Music Friends move songs up. The rest is ours to know.
