Well, we're here to shed some light on one such existent aspect of GigTown that has perhaps gone a little lesser known to date: **Hearts.** One little symbol hanging around your GigTown artist profile and despite its unassuming, seemingly decorative looking purpose, these icons can be of much more help to the residents of GigTown. **Here's the thick and thin of it:**  Each GigTown artist profile, as well as each song by an artist, has a heart button. The heart for artist profiles in the upper right corner of their photo. Hearts for songs appear to the side of the songs in an artist's full profile where streamable tracks are listed. Untapped hearts are grey and tapped hearts are organge. Tap a heart and that artist gains a new “fan.” ![](https://blog.gigtown.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GigTown-hearts-screenshot-2.jpg?width=320&name=GigTown-hearts-screenshot-2.jpg "GigTown-hearts-screenshot-2.jpg")   After an artist or song has received a tapped heart, those picks go straight the user's  "**favorites"** playlist that can be accessed from the "Artist" tab, or "User Profile". The more hearts tapped for one artist's profile, the more fans they will have. More than simply a numeric counter, the hearts can help artists and bands get booked for more gigs, as it give the venue, event planner, or party host an idea of the artist's local following.  ![](https://blog.gigtown.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GigTown-hearts-playlist-screenshot-2.jpg?width=320&name=GigTown-hearts-playlist-screenshot-2.jpg "GigTown-hearts-playlist-screenshot-2.jpg")![](https://blog.gigtown.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GigTown-hearts-screenshot-4.png?width=320&name=GigTown-hearts-screenshot-4.png "GigTown-hearts-screenshot-4.png") ARTISTS:  Email us at  [contact@gigtown.com](mailto:contact@gigtown.com) to request a download link that goes straight to your Artist Profile! - [** twitter ](https://twitter.com/GigTownMusic) - [** facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/gigtownmusic) - [** google plus ](http://google.com/+Gigtown) - [** instagram ](http://instagram.com/gigtownmusic) ### STAY UP TO DATE WITH OUR EMAIL NEWSLETTER [Previous Article GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #14 ](https://blog.gigtown.com/blog/gigtown-radio-roulette-spin-14) [Next Article GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #15 ](https://blog.gigtown.com/blog/gigtown-radio-roulette-spin-15) ### RelatedArticles [Gotta Tell You The News: GigTown Song of the Week](https://blog.gigtown.com/blog/gotta-tell-you-the-news-gigtown-song-of-the-week) ![Gotta Tell You The News: GigTown Song of the Week](https://blog.gigtown.com/hubfs/GigTown_Song_of_the_Week_Graphic.png) [GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #16](https://blog.gigtown.com/blog/gigtown-radio-roulette-spin-16) ![GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #16](https://blog.gigtown.com/hubfs/GigTown-Radio-Roulette-The-Go-Ahead-screenshot.jpg) [GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #15](https://blog.gigtown.com/blog/gigtown-radio-roulette-spin-15) ![GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #15](https://blog.gigtown.com/hubfs/GigTown-Radio-Roulette-Amber-Rubarth-Screenshot.jpg) [GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #8](https://blog.gigtown.com/blog/gigtown-radio-roulette-spin-8) ![GigTown Radio Roulette Spin #8](https://blog.gigtown.com/hubfs/GigTown-Radio-Bryarly.jpg) [something cool happened... a gigtown artist just got signed](https://blog.gigtown.com/blog/ryan_hiller_and_pacific_records) ![something cool happened... a gigtown artist just got signed](https://blog.gigtown.com/hubfs/Artists/080709_campbell_181_LOWres.jpg) [![GigTown Local Music](https://blog.gigtown.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GigTown_Logo-1.png?width=152&height=128&name=GigTown_Logo-1.png "GigTown Local Music")](https://www.gigtown.com/) © Copyright 2016 GigTown - All Rights Reserved [Site by Business on Market St.](http://www.businessonmarketst.com)
