How do I get my beats featured on BeatStars’ homepage or playlists?

Beat Store : https://stephenallenmusic.beatstars.com/

Getting your beats featured by BeatStars can significantly boost your visibility, streams, and sales. While there’s no guaranteed formula, BeatStars favors producers who are active, polished, and aligned with what’s trending on the platform.


 What BeatStars Looks for When Featuring Beats


1. High-Quality Production

  • Your beat must sound radio-ready—clean mix, commercial arrangement, and on-trend style
  • Top genres include trap, drill, R&B, Afrobeats, pop, and cinematic instrumentals

 Listen to the current featured section to understand their quality bar.


 2. Eye-Catching Visuals

  • Use professional cover art that fits the genre and grabs attention
  • Keep it consistent across your uploads to build brand identity
  • Bonus: Use motion visuals or Canva templates to create unique artwork


 3. Strong Metadata and Tagging

  • Use accurate and popular keywords in:
    • Title (e.g., “Gunna Type Beat – ‘Frozen’ | Trap 2025”)
    • Tags (e.g., #typebeat, #trap, #emotionaltrap)
    • Description (include mood, genre, artist type)

 BeatStars uses tags and metadata to surface content in searches and features.


 4. Consistency and Upload Frequency

  • Upload new beats weekly or bi-weekly
  • The algorithm and curators favor active, committed producers
  • More content = more chances to be discovered or featured


 5. Engage With the Community

  • Comment on other producers’ beats
  • Share your page and support others in the BeatStars Feed
  • BeatStars notices producers who bring value and energy to the platform


 6. Submit to Official Opportunities

  • BeatStars occasionally opens playlist submission forms or contests
  • Follow their blog, social channels, and email updates to stay informed
  • Also consider joining BeatStars Live streams where they showcase music in real time


 Technical Tips

  • Upload in WAV or MP3 format at 16-24 bit, 44.1kHz
  • Include a beat tag but make it clean and not overpowering
  • Include leasing info, licensing tiers, and clear links in descriptions


 Final Thought:

Getting featured is part art, part strategy. If your beats are top-quality, well-branded, and consistent—and if you engage with the BeatStars ecosystem—you’ll be on the radar of both curators and customers.
