BigXthaPlug

BigXthaPlug, the high-energy Texas artist with a fiercely loyal fanbase, recently tapped into SymphonyOS’ pre-save feature to generate major buzz ahead of his latest release. Teaming up with country music powerhouse Bailey Zimmerman, the collaboration offered more than just a new track—it created a unique moment to energize his core supporters while attracting a wave of crossover attention from Bailey’s expansive audience. The strategic use of pre-saves helped amplify anticipation and ensured the release made a strong impact from day one.

By strategically promoting the pre-save link across social channels, BigXthaPlug transformed early fan engagement into chart-topping success. The results were remarkable: close to 40 thousand pre-saves and thousands of forever saves. This momentum catapulted the track to the top of the charts, hitting #4 on Billboard Hot 100, #1 on YouTube Music and #2 on Apple Music a few days after release.

The Goal ❓

BigXthaPlug aimed to:

• Maximize Pre-Saves: Drive significant pre-save numbers to build hype before the official release.
• Leverage Social Promotion: Use social media channels to spread the pre-save link far and wide.
• Capitalize on Crossover Appeal: Utilize Bailey Zimmerman’s fanbase to create a wider reach and retain new listeners.
• Achieve Chart Success: Convert the momentum from pre-saves into tangible results on major streaming platforms.

The Strategy 💡

BigXthaPlug and his team executed a layered strategy to fuel early hype, drive fan engagement, and tap into Bailey Zimmerman’s cross-genre audience—all powered by SymphonyOS:

1. Symphony Pre-Save Campaign: They launched a pre-save campaign using SymphonyOS, offering both standard and forever saves to lock in early fan interest and build a strong audience.
2. Secret Release Rollout: The release date was intentionally kept secret, creating buzz and speculation that made the pre-save link more enticing. The mystery drew fans in—and kept them talking.
3. Fan-Led Sharing: Multiple fan pages began circulating the upcoming release, fueling buzz in the absence of a formal announcement. The community became the engine—posting, reposting, and amplifying the excitement—while the artist teams stayed agile, actively dropping the pre-save link wherever the conversation was happening.
4. TikTok Sound Surge: Even before release, the sound exploded on TikTok. In just one week, over 15,000 videos were created under the audio—driving massive exposure before the first stream.
5. Social Channel Saturation: Both teams stayed active across Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook—dropping teasers, engaging with fans, and spotlighting the Bailey Zimmerman collab to reach both hip-hop and country audiences.
6. Hype-to-Stream Pipeline: When the track dropped, the buzz turned into real numbers, translating pre-saves and TikTok traction into strong performance on platforms like YouTube and Apple Music.
