 Where the Algorithm Lives

• Release Radar: Sent to your followers every Friday if you submit early.
• Discover Weekly: Personalized playlist based on listening habits.
• Spotify Radio: Auto-generated playlists related to your song or artist.
• Autoplay / Song Radio: When a user finishes a playlist, similar songs play — that’s your opportunity.

 How the Algorithm Decides to Push Your Song

Spotify watches early performance closely. These metrics matter most:

Metric	Why It Matters
Save Rate	% of people who save the song — shows real interest.
Repeat Listens	People coming back — proves replay value.
Skip Rate	High skips = low quality match for listeners.
Playlist Adds	Signals that listeners want to hear it again.
Listening Duration	If people listen all the way through, Spotify takes notice.

 Steps to Trigger the Algorithm

1. Upload Early + Pitch Through Spotify for Artists

• Gives you a better shot at Release Radar + editorial review.

2. Maximize Day-One Engagement

• Encourage fans to stream, save, and share your track.
• Use smart links to drive traffic from social media or email lists.

3. Use Paid Ads (Smartly)

• Send cold traffic to Spotify using Instagram Reels, TikTok clips, or short YouTube promos.
• Retarget people who engage with your content.

4. Get on Niche Playlists

• Organic playlist placements help boost streams and improve your song’s data footprint.

5. Avoid Fake Streams

• Never buy streams or use bots — it can get you shadowbanned or removed.

 Pro Tip

The algorithm loves consistency. Release music regularly (every 4–8 weeks), and Spotify will start recognizing you as an “active” artist worth pushing.
