Memphis, TN – July 2, 2025 — In an age where artists are struggling to earn fair compensation from music streaming platforms, a Memphis-born tech startup, TheTopSpotOnline, is rewriting the rules of music monetization with the launch of the Music Stream NFT™ —a patented digital innovation that empowers independent musicians and rewards engaged fans alike.
Founded by music producer and entrepreneur Bradley Jones, TheTopSpotOnline bridges blockchain technology with the streaming economy, turning every song into a revenue- generating digital collectible called the Music Stream NFT™. Unlike traditional NFTs, which rely solely on speculative value, the Music Stream NFT™ is utility-driven and action-based. Each NFT is linked to a real song on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal and generates revenue every time it’s viewed or shared—triggering both a stream and an ad impression that pays the artist and the fan who owns it.
“Snoop Dogg said he only made $45,000 from a billion streams,” said Jones. “We’re here to fix that. With Music Stream NFTs™, artists can finally get compensated in real-time for the attention they generate, and fans can earn too by helping to promote the music they love.”
How It Works
Every Music Stream NFT™ functions like a digital trading card for a song. When a fan purchases one on TheTopSpotOnline, they gain access to a branded landing page that features the music, metadata (like album art and liner notes), and a built-in ad space. When this page is viewed or shared:
The song is streamed on its linked platform, increasing its stream count.
A digital ad is served, generating real revenue.
Revenue is split between TheTopSpotOnline (65%), the fan owner (25%), and the artist (10%).
This Continuous Release Method™, a core strategy behind the platform, enables artists to drive streaming numbers while building a community of incentivized fan promoters who essentially become grassroots music influencers.
More Than Just Hype: A Marketplace for Music Equity
TheTopSpotOnline is also a marketplace where fans and collectors can buy, sell, and trade Music Stream NFTs™. Each NFT has a fluctuating value based on its song’s streaming metrics, playlist placements, and audience reach—bringing real-world data into the NFT valuation model.
The platform recently connected with Power 104.1 FM in Memphis to join forces with the platform to help promote the burgeoning Southern Soul music artists across the region.
Why It Matters
For Artists: Offers a direct-to-fan monetization model that works alongside streaming platforms instead of against them.
For Fans: Turns passive listening into active earning—fans who buy NFTs support their favorite artists and get paid.
For the Industry: Introduces a new asset class for music—stream-powered NFTs tied to real engagement and performance.
Looking Ahead
TheTopSpotOnline is preparing to scale rapidly. With a community of over 80,000 musicians in its affiliated Facebook group, the platform is testing Showcase Sundays—an initiative that gives independent rappers a chance to be heard by industry execs and have their music minted into Music Stream NFTs™.
Meanwhile, TheTopSpotOnline’s utility token, the SPOTT Token, is already listed on BitStorage and underpins the entire transaction system, ensuring transparent, blockchain- based payments and ownership tracking.
“This isn’t just about NFTs or Web3 hype,” says Jones. “This is about reclaiming value for music creators and giving fans a piece of the pie. It’s time the streaming era worked for everyone involved.”
