NumberOneMusic

First off, having run a music company for almost 25 years (The New York songwriters Circle)
This website needs much updating (Starting with an SSL Certificate) to make sure it's secure. Secondly, it's great people like and listen to your music but in order for them to BUY you music you have to Upgrade on the site for a hefty price. NOT COOL It's hard enough being a musician than having to pay a site for people to buy your music.

Like practically all music streams N1M is run by robots. I was naive and stupid enough to submit my music over and over again... again: like with all these sites, you submit stuff, reach a ( virtual) goal and than: "get premium to get more exposure". Meanwhile the exposure that you received before premium request is generated by robots.
Luckily I didn't invest money, however I invested a great deal of time.
If you have the illusion that robots will give your music career a boost. THINK AGAIN

Fake users, they pretend to be real. They don't have any presence in social media, nobody replies, charts are not accessible to anyone, their homepage just invites artists to subscribe, free offers are not free, artist pages are not indexed by Google. It is a total SCAM. Stay away.

A complete and utter scam. Do not waste your cash to upgrade from free membership. Your "followers" are spam bots. Your rankings and plays are fictitious, and the whole site is based on massaging a musician's ego into believing their crap to wring out your wallet. I would also suspect that the positive and glowing reviews on here are orchestrated by N1M too. No-one sane would believe this garbage. I had over 50,000 plays and 500 followers as a free member for a year - but not a single paid play, download or purchase of my music from any of the online outlets, in spite of being in the top ten numerous times. It is complete horse manure. Do not believe the hype and do not part with any cash.

I joined and paid the fee thinking it is real. My daughter brought it to my attention that there were claims of fraud against N1M. I contacted my CC company and advised them of the issue and they apparently checked into it and refunded my money. I also tried to get some of the people following me to email me to show that this is a legit site. Only one did so. I am up in the air on this site. It did do everything I expected but I just am not sure if the numbers are legit. I think some people on the site may be real and some fabricated. I only wish I could have had a positive feeling but it just didn't happen.

Beware, this site is built to strip you of your music and your rights. Seriously cannot stress enough how fake and fraudulent this "service" is. Nobody in the real music industry has ever heard of them, for obvious reasons.

They send you spam emails faking reviews or comments from real users on a non-existent page. You probably had been identified through ad-tracking or some soundcloud breach or who knows. But the comments/reviews are fake. No one is actually looking for your music (i mean, maybe in real life they are, but its not related to this website at all).

No one should give their money to a company that uses unethical and dishonest spamming tactics like this. Looking at reviews it seems they've even scammed people who got suckered into paying for their full premium memberships. Sites like these need to be taken down

I've been with this site for years and the last several years I upgraded to the gold membership, this year my money was debited at the end of august for renewal. Then a couple weeks ago, they sent me an email stating we'd hate to lose you as a member, I thought it was a mistake, I replied stating they perhaps didn't update their records, then I'm seeing currently, my merchandise has been taken down, my stats are not visible, and there are no buy buttons for fans. I contacted CS with a copy of my bank record showing my membership was deducted for 99.95 and there is no response from them. I can't find a phone number for them either. I've never sold one thing on their site, I have 22,00 thousand plays on my songs, there is no way to earn any royalties I'm concerned. When I click on the buy button, they say to upgrade to premium, but I already did! Messages from fans have indicated that they never ever could find any buy button on my page. Further, with all the plays on my songs, there have been no option to earn royalties or a way to link to spotify, a lot of money lost. CS would not respond to this either.

Number One Music is a 100% scam! They use bots to give you phony reviews about how "great" your music is and then pester you to buy crypto-currency or use a credit card to upgrade your membership for supposedly more exposure for your music. They send you emails telling you your "fans" want to hear from you. However, you can send an email to any one of your "fans" and none of them will reply because they don't exist! The site is very slick. Know this: If you post any of your music on Number One Music, the only person who will listen to it is you. Any money you spend with them will be money down a rat hole. You can go on their site and check out music that has been posted there and is supposedly highly rated with them. What they are sharing with you is the music of suckers who gave them money to "upgrade" their membership. The posted music is overwhelmingly amateurish and awful, with no commercial potential whatsoever.
If you are an aspiring musician, you need to follow this simple rule: NEVER PAY TO BE PLAYED. Never. Don't give money to sites or blogs that will supposedly help get your music wide exposure. They are all schemes designed to separate musicians from their money. Never pay to submit a song to any song writing contest. They too are all 100% money making scams. Never pay a supposed "expert' to review your music. Never spend dime one with an online "expert" who will "share secrets" with you about how you can build a fan base and/or get your music "sync licensed" to be played on commercials, TV and movies. None of those very slick people are your friend! Beware of "Independent" or "Indy" musician groups and conferences. They will do nothing for you and your musical career other than take your money. Know that absolutely no one is buying CDs these days and any money you spend having one produced will never be recouped. If you are not already a super star, there is no money to be made from your music on streaming services. Therefore, never pay any person or entity claiming they will distribute your music so that you get plays of Spotify, iTunes, etc. Any site, group, "agent" or consultant asking you for money to promote your music at any point in time is crooked and will never help you. The music industry is a closed system in which only a handful of artists earn enough money to even buy a cup of coffee, much less make a living or become a star. Don't throw your money away by paying those who sell the illusion that you can earn money through your music.

For me it's a fairly good platform, features are nice. And yes, I also believe some mails or comments were from people that work for N1M, but not all. So far, it's ok for me and works as it should. Just support should be more active. This is not ideal.

Update July 20th, 2020: I actually did get some support now. This is good. It makes the platform more trustworthy.

Update 2: I don't understand the many negative comments here: I get many subscribers via this site, and I get true feedback, what pieces they like, wat kind of music I should produce more, etc. I can't imagine all those feedback email addresses are being faked. This is actually impossible as per current legislation in many countries of the world. Some people actually do buy my music, AFTER having checked me out on N1M.
And one other thing: I have friends and interested people who ask me for a link with some demos, and I often give them my N1M link, it's easy and streaming quality is good. There's a separate volume slider within the player. So, very definitely, this site is NOT a total fraud, not for me. It's actually what you make out of it.

This site sent me a fake/spam message (I don't know where they got my details from) saying that an "influencer" wanted to use my music in a playlist. Upon clicking the link to "connect" with the influencer it takes you to a blank message page. Then when trying to click around the site to find out what it is all about it forces to an "upload or connect" pop up. This is the worst thing I have ever seen. Whoever is behind this scammy site should be ashamed of themselves. These kind of marketing tactics must be illegal in most countries. I never signed up to this site, I don't want anything to do with this site.

I made an account on Number One Music I am just happy I did not spend a dime. I had a lot of people sending me messages about my music saying oh we like your music where can I download it etc... then one day the messages stopped and when I went to the number one music site they had deleted my account then I started doing research on them and put number one music scam on the search bar and come to find out they are number one NUMBER ONE IN SCAMMING according to several people who had paid them also said they had there account deleted blocked or suspended and also come to find out all those people that wanted to listen to your music are really bots that spam you maybe 1 to 4 are real people the rest are bots. I HOPE THEY SEE MY REVIEW I dedicate this photo to Number One Music Scam PLEASE LOOK BELOW =) =D =p

At first I was pumped people were saying how they loved my music and it inspired them. Hoping at least some of the comments were true. I made another account after I subscribed for a while that I totally forgot about before I made my main page. I put a really crappy sample with no lyrics and had saw I had a reply of a same fan on my main page saying the exact same comment how my music had great lyrics... But how if it was just a guitar sample that was not even that good. Yeah this website needs to be shut down. Just buttering up musicians to subscribe and take their $
