Can I Get My New Song Noticed

Between 100,000 and 120,000 new songs are uploaded to the common streaming platforms everyday, apparently. I’ve added one more to that number; yesterday 3rd April 2026 marking the day of my proud new release. I’ll give a bit more about me in another post, but for now take it as read that I’m a). completely unknown (not even family and friends know of this release), b). have content (I.e. the song) that I believe is competitive within its genre, c). have no industry backing or support, d). have limited personal funds to aid the process.
How far can I get in a world where releasing music, with all of the above counting against me, onto a streaming platform and getting noticed is like leaving a CD in the middle of a field and expecting people to notice it?

If you’re an aspiring musician in the same position, or curious as to the process and results of releasing music come on this journey with me.

Spoiler alert, I’m not expecting great results!
