Submitting a song to a Spotify playlist is a great way to increase your exposure and get your music heard by a larger audience. There are several ways to do this, depending on what kind of playlist you want to submit to.
If you’re hoping to get featured in an official Spotify-curated playlist, the best way is to submit your track through the submission form available in the Spotify for Artists dashboard. This is the only way for independent artists and labels to get directly featured in one of Spotify’s editorial playlists. With this submission form, you can select up to three tracks at once that you would like considered for potential inclusion in an official Spotify playlist.
If you don’t have access to the submission form, or if you’re looking for more Targeted playlist placement, another option is to reach out directly to individual curators and pitch them your music. You can find these curators by searching through social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. It’s important that you make sure the playlists fit with your particular genre before submitting though; it’s no use sending a metal track to an EDM curator!
Once you’ve identified the right curator for your music, it’s time to reach out with a brief message introducing yourself and your track. Include any applicable streaming links and make sure that you include all relevant information (including genre, tempo, mood etc) about the track in question. It’s also important that you keep things concise; curators receive hundreds of submissions every day so make sure yours stands out!
Finally, once you’ve sent off your submission make sure that you keep on top of any responses from curators; they might not always respond immediately or at all but it’s important that if they do reply, then you follow up quickly! You should also take some time after submitting your music to monitor its progress within different playlists; this will help give you an insight into what kind of playlists work best for your music and whether curators are actually playing it.
In conclusion, submitting a song on Spotify can be a great way of getting more exposure for your music. Whether it’s through official channels or direct outreach with individual curators – having well-crafted tracks ready and following up quickly with any responses will increase your chances of being featured on some amazing playlists.
