How to Get My Music Added to Playlists
In today’s music industry, getting your music placed on playlists is one of the most effective ways to grow your audience and increase streams. Artist Garden Entertainment understands how to build a solid streaming strategy, proper release planning, and navigating the music industry the right way.
Build a Strong Streaming Strategy
A well planned streaming strategy is essential for playlist success. Here are key factors to consider:
1. Set Up Your Release for Algorithmic Success
Spotify’s algorithm favors tracks that gain early traction. To maximize your chances:
Schedule your release at least four weeks in advance.
Submit your song to Spotify for Artists’ playlist pitching tool.
Encourage pre-saves and early engagement to signal strong listener interest.
Generate organic streams through social media, email lists, and fan engagement.
2. Target the Right Playlists
Editorial Playlists – Curated by Spotify’s in-house team (e.g., Fresh Finds, New Music Friday).
Algorithmic Playlists – Personalized playlists such as Release Radar and Discover Weekly.
Independent Curated Playlists – Created by tastemakers and industry professionals.
Finding a Trusted Company for Streaming Strategy
Working with a company that has industry expertise can help boost your playlist success. Artist Garden Entertainment specializes in developing strategic plans to maximize music exposure on streaming platforms. With years of experience and relationships with key digital service providers and playlist curators, we help artists navigate the complexities of streaming success.
Avoiding the Dangers of Pay-to-Play and Bot Playlists
Many artists fall into the trap of using pay-to-play services or bot-driven playlists, which can severely damage their credibility and even lead to de-platforming.
Why Pay-to-Play is a Red Flag
Violates Spotify’s Terms – Paying to be placed on a playlist can result in your song being removed or your profile being banned.
Low-Quality Engagement – These playlists often contain inactive or fake followers, leading to minimal real fan engagement.
