I ask the top artists, “How do you make your videos beat the algorithm?”

And they all said the same thing: “I just remake what works in my own style.”

So this email will show you 3 ideas that are blowing up and how to remake them so you can get your music heard.

1. They never imagined your sound

Artist: @charlesb

Hook: Vivaldi NEVER imagined his music like THIS

Template: [Famous artist, composer, etc] NEVER imagined [his/her/their] music like THIS

Views: 1.2M

Why it works:

Curiosity - “NEVER imagined” makes people want to listen and hear what it could be.

Reference - Vivaldi is a name people recognize, and it grabs their attention.

Visual Hook - Adding an interesting element (in this case, the live orchestra) makes people stop scrolling to see what’s going on. Your visual hook doesn’t need to be a live orchestra; it can be something simple that goes with the artist you choose to reference instead of Vivaldi.

How to do it: Remix, mashup, sing, or perform a song or composition everyone knows in your own unique style.

2. “Going platinum”

Artist: @partypupils

Hook: This Chaka Khan remix is about to go triple platinum in my house

Template: This [Describe your remix or original song in detail] is about to go triple platinum in my [house/living room/backyard/or describe location]

Views: 880K

Why it works:

Sarcasm - The “triple platinum in my house” line makes it fun and inviting to engage with.

Reference - Chaka Khan is a name people recognize, and it grabs their attention.

Visual Hook - The city skyline behind you and the all-green outfit popping with color make people stop scrolling.

How to do it: Describe your song or remix in detail and record your video in a unique location.

3. Voice memo VS. finished idea

Artist: @madmcferrin

Hook: How it started… What it became

Template: [How it started/The idea/I recorded a voice message]… [What it became/Finished track/I never could have imagined what happened next]

Views: 110K

Why it works:

Relatable - The voice message feels like something anyone can do instead of a complicated tutorial.

Before and after - People want to wait and find out what the idea became, and that increases your watch time.

How to do it: You don’t have to have a voice message - you could even just show a riff or melody you wrote (whatever inspired the track) and then show the end result.
