Submit Your Music Directly to Spotify Playlists

Many artists may submit music to Spotify playlists. This is because placement on a Spotify playlist has become one of the premier ways to create buzz around new music releases. Even better, the submission process couldn’t be simpler. 

How It Works

• Sign up or login to Spotify for Artists. All your unreleased music will be located within the Home or Profile sections of your artist dashboard
• On the Home section, click Get Started, next to the track you’d like to submit
  • You can also right-click on unreleased songs within the Profile section, and click Submit a Song
• Fill out the playlist submission form and provide as much information as possible about the track

Important Notes

• You can only submit music if you already have music on the platform and your Spotify for Artists account is set up
• Only unreleased tracks can be considered
  • Once your release is live it is no longer eligible for playlist submission.
• Submissions are limited to one song at a time, so if you’re choosing from an Album or EP, select your best track!
  • You will not be able to submit another track until your current submission is released.
• Your submission must occur at least 7 days before your release date
  • The more time you can give Spotify, the better.
• Provide as much metadata about your music as possible
  • The right metadata will help Spotify curators discover your music and place you in the most relevant playlists.

Please note: Submission of music to Spotify playlists is only available from desktop computers

Playlist submission is beneficial even if you are not accepted into one of the editorial playlists. By submitting your music to Spotify playlists you are guaranteed placement on your follower’s Release Radar playlists, which can be found in the Browse section. When you submit music to Spotify playlists, you’re one step closer to gaining more recognition for your work — a benefit musicians and artists everywhere understand.
