 Types of Spotify Editorial Playlists

Playlist Type	Description
Global Playlists	Huge reach, genre-based (e.g., mint, RapCaviar).
Niche/Genre Playlists	More specific styles (e.g., Hyperpop, Fresh Gospel).
Mood/Activity Playlists	Curated by vibe (e.g., Chill Vibes, Workout Hits).
Regional Playlists	Based on country/region (e.g., New Music Friday UK).
Fresh Finds	Focuses on undiscovered independent artists with momentum.

 How to Get on Editorial Playlists

1. Submit Through Spotify for Artists

• Upload your song at least 7 days before release.
• Go to “Music” → “Upcoming” → Click “Submit a Song.”
• You can only pitch unreleased music.

2. Fill Out the Pitch Form Strategically

• Pick accurate genres, moods, cultures, and instruments.
• Write a compelling story or theme behind the track in the description.
• Mention any promo plans (ads, video, press, collabs, etc.).

3. Match the Playlist’s Vibe

• Listen to playlists you want to target.
• Does your track truly fit the sound, mood, and tempo?

4. Keep Releasing Consistently

• Editors notice artists who drop good music regularly.
• Each release is a new chance — don't rely on one song to break through.

5. Build a Buzz Outside Spotify

• Press coverage, social engagement, fan growth — these all help.
• Even editors check Instagram, TikTok, and music blogs.

 What NOT To Do

• Don’t spam Spotify or editors directly — the pitch form is the only official route.
• Don’t try to “game” the system with fake data or streams.
• Don’t expect overnight success — it often takes multiple releases.

 Pro Tip

If you’re just starting out, target Fresh Finds first. It’s designed to spotlight emerging, independent talent with strong early data and a clear artistic identity.
