How to Use Fan Feedback to Choose Your Next Single

by RMG EMPIRE STAFF August 25, 2026

Choosing your next single is one of the biggest decisions in your release plan. Your fans can tell you a lot about which songs will connect, if you know how to listen.

From the RMG Empire team: We are always looking for serious independent artists with a unique voice and a strong work ethic. If that is you, submit your music to RMG Empire.

Test Snippets

Post short clips of several unreleased songs and compare reactions. Look at shares, saves, comments, and requests for the full song. Read using snippets and teasers.

Play Songs Live

Watch how crowds react to new songs at shows. Songs that get people moving or singing along are strong candidates.

Ask Your Community

Let your fan community vote or share opinions.

Look at Your Data

If certain styles of your past releases performed better, that can guide your choice. Check your streaming analytics.

Balance Data and Vision

Fan feedback is valuable, but it is not the only factor. Consider how the song fits your brand and long-term direction.

Commit and Plan

Once you choose, give the song a full rollout plan.
