Why This Works
- Spotify ranks playlists in search based on keywords and engagement.
- You can embed your own music in a playlist with similar-sounding tracks.
- Playlists help associate your song with other artists’ audiences, training the algorithm to recommend you alongside them.

Naming & SEO Tips
Spotify is a search engine. Use keywords people actually type, such as:
- “Study beats,” “Motivation gym playlist,” “Indie hits 2025”
- Avoid vague or self-promotional titles like “My Top Tracks” or “Best Song Ever”
How to Grow the Playlist
- Promote it on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts
- Embed it in your Linktree / Koji / ToneDen
- Share it with friends & fans to follow/save
- Join Facebook groups, Discord servers, and Reddit subs for playlist sharing
Bonus: Collaborative Playlists
Create a collaborative playlist where fans or other artists can add songs.
- Tag artists when you add their songs—they might return the favor.
- Build a small artist community by co-curating and cross-promoting.
Pro Tips
- Update weekly or monthly to keep engagement high.
- Rotate your own songs in/out as you release more music.
- Promote your playlist like you would a song—it’s content.
