Baseline trajectory & forecast

Nearly 3x growth in one year.

Fadel's organic streaming foundation grew by nearly 3x between 2024 and 2025 following three flagship singles. Heading into the October 19 album release, our 2026 baseline sits at 100M streams on Spotify and 2.48B views on YouTube. With this release, we project a 30% stream lift to hit 130M total Spotify streams and 12.45M unique listeners.

Platforms overlap, so the combined figure counts follows, not unique people. Spotify shows monthly listeners, a different metric, so it sits outside the combined total.

Top 5 songs on

The catalog does the heavy lifting. Maaol is from 2020 and still leads.

Management focus & market penetration

Core volume: Egypt and Iraq.

Our core volume sits in Egypt and Iraq, but our immediate growth targets for album promotion are KSA, UAE, Jordan, and Turkey, alongside expanding North African footprints in Algeria and Morocco. We are working to optimize DSP placement and targeted media spend in these specific territories to maximize album impact.

Spotify listeners, top 5 countries

Spotify listeners, top 5 countriesMarkets we need to grow

Egypt is number one on both

742,720 Spotify listeners and 346.6M YouTube views in 2026. On YouTube, Egypt climbed from #4 in 2025 to #1.

Iraq: #2 on YouTube, missing on Spotify

335M YouTube views in 2026 (13.5% of the channel), yet Iraq does not reach Fadel's Spotify top 5. The fans are there, the streams are not.

North Africa is rising

Algeria entered the YouTube top 5 in 2026 with 233.1M views. Morocco is already #4 on Spotify.

Two Spotify surprises

Indonesia (341,076) and Germany (95,313) sit in the Spotify top 5 with no push behind them.

Strengths · Audience retention

Fadel's songs never stop playing.

The data confirms that new releases don't just stream individually: they lift the back catalog. 'Maaol', 'Ahla Rasma', and 'Kifak 3a Fra2e' continue to hold top IFPI chart positions into 2026.

Maaol, Ahla Rasma and Kifak 3a Fra2e still hold top IFPI chart positions into 2026.

Halo×3

New lifts old

Each release pulls the back catalog up with it. Growth nearly tripled after three singles.

Weaknesses

Huge reach. Small conversion.

~0.4%

Views rarely become streams

Across Fadel's top TikTok songs, Spotify gets roughly 4 streams for every 1,000 views. It is the same for old and new songs.

The long tail is thin

Maaol has 23.1M streams. Rouh El Baher has 2.3M. Below the top 5, songs drop off fast.

Money markets missing

UAE, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan are under Fadel's potential on Spotify, where the streaming revenue sits.

Elhob W Bass actually converts best of the five (4.8 per 1,000). The problem is not one song, it is the whole funnel.

Catalog halo effect

One release lifts the whole catalog.

The album launch will trigger a primary conversion on the new track and a secondary halo effect across older hits.

Hold to release the album and watch launch week land on the top 5.

Projection: a 30% stream lift, to 130M total Spotify streams.

The plan

Turn TikTok consumption into streams.

For the Oct 19 album release, our strategy will focus on converting high TikTok consumption into direct DSP saves and playlist adds, targeting songs like 'Elhob W Bass' that have 1B+ TikTok views but remaining upside on streaming platforms.
