How to Pitch to Spotify (Editorial)

Via Spotify for Artists, submit your unreleased track at least 7 days before release.

Info to Include:

• Genre & subgenre
• Mood & instruments
• Language & culture
• Song inspiration/story
• Location (local editors often support nearby artists)

 Tip: Spotify editors read this. Tell them why the song matters and where it fits.

 Triggering Algorithmic Playlists

Algorithmic playlists kick in based on performance:

• High Save Rate = Good
• Low Skip Rate = Good
• More Shares & Follows = Good

Your first 7 days are critical—drive streams from pre-saves, social media, and email blasts to maximize algorithm signals.

 Getting on User-Curated Playlists

These playlists are run by:

• Influencers (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram)
• Independent curators
• Music blogs & brands

How to Submit:

• SubmitHub (paid credits + free option)
• Groover (guaranteed feedback)
• Indiemono, Soundplate, Daily Playlists
• Direct outreach via Instagram or email
