So I’ve been comparing releasing music to launching a product.  (For no reason whatsoever)

Today’s pondering was on analytics. 

Obsessing over analytics in the first few days is like trying to judge a movie by the first 5 minutes. 

But in music, it’s the first days that shape the trajectory, due to the ephemeral shelf-life of tracks.  Basically, after a month your “product” is obsolete unless it turns into a hit. 

On the other hand, early data is an illusion for actual product launches.  It's influenced by launch-day hype, early adopters, and the fact that most people aren't even aware of what you're shipping. 

Quick verdict:  My brain did not align the music/product pair 💩

I think these things are too different to compare them to each other

I agree.  For some reason kept comparing 🤷‍♂️

P.S. Keep in mind that I am talking about self-releasing music here.
