Seldom does an independent artist generate enough public interest to garner downloads in the six figures for a solo project, but then again, Baiyu is not just another independent artist. In fact, not only did international recording artist Baiyu receive 100,000 downloads via Frostwire, she reached that number in two and a half weeks, and the figures are still climbing.
Gubatron of FrostClick.com emphatically shares, “Without any special effort from the FrostClick and FrostWire team over the promotion, in a single week, Baiyu managed to break the daily download records for a period of 24 hours three times, with 6,196 downloads, then 6,208 downloads, and finally with 6,219 downloads.” He also is proud to add that, “Another interesting trend with Baiyu’s album, is that the number of seeds (people sharing the album after it’s been downloaded) kept increasing consecutively for 17 days, also a new record for an album promoted on FrostWire.”
Baiyu’s popularity via her partnership with FrostWire/FrostClick is the result of a perfect synergy between Baiyu’s heartwarming yet infections artistry and musicality combined with a FrostWire audience that is thirsty for discovering music that speaks to them. Since the release of Baiyu’s Extended Play Fan Fair, she has been able to generate a tremendous amount of interest in her project, especially given the fact that all proceeds from Fan Fair are donated to the Japanese Red Cross for their tsunami relief efforts. Her first single, “Take a Number” featuring Fred the Godson, hit the number one spot on the college radio chart. The music video for “Together,” the latest single off of the EP, premiered on LOGO TV and has since then been seen across MTV Networks. For more info: WWW.BAIYUONLINE.COM
