Getting your track placed on a major Spotify playlist can launch your career. Let's break down the three main types of Spotify playlists and how to pitch to them.
1. Spotify Editorial Playlists
These are curated by Spotify's internal editorial team. To pitch, you must submit your song via Spotify for Artists at least 3 weeks before release. Write a compelling pitch explaining the story behind the song and your marketing plan.
2. Algorithmic Playlists
Playlists like Release Radar and Discover Weekly are personalized for each user by Spotify's algorithm. The key to triggering these is driving initial streams and saves from your social media followers on release day.
3. Independent Curators
Thousands of popular playlists are run by music bloggers, labels, and fans. Use platforms like SubmitHub, Groover, or social media to find and pitch your tracks to these curators.
Get ready for Spotify playlist submissions by distributing your music via Arinas Music.
