Complete these steps before you submit your track
The preparation work that separates successful submissions from ignored ones
Claim and optimize your Spotify for Artists profile
Curators check your artist profile before adding you. Complete your bio, add a high-quality photo, link your social media, and pin your best track. An incomplete profile signals amateur status and reduces placement chances.
Ensure your track metadata is complete and accurate
Genre tags, mood descriptors, and release credits all influence how Spotify categorizes your music. Correct metadata helps our team match you with the right playlists and helps the algorithm surface your track in related recommendations.
Release your track on Spotify before submitting
Your track must be live on Spotify before we can pitch it. Ideally, submit to us within 1-2 weeks of release -- curators prefer fresh music and Spotify's algorithm gives newly added tracks a visibility boost.
Optimize your track for maximum playlist appeal
Production and presentation details that curators notice
Master to streaming loudness standards
Spotify normalizes audio to -14 LUFS. If your track is mastered significantly louder, it gets turned down and loses dynamic range. Master to -14 LUFS for optimal playback quality on playlists.
Keep your intro under 30 seconds
Spotify counts a stream after 30 seconds. A long ambient intro means listeners skip before it counts. Get to the hook quickly -- this also makes curators more likely to listen past the first few seconds.
Design cover art that stands out in a playlist
Your track's album art appears as a tiny thumbnail in playlists. Bold colors, readable text (or no text), and high contrast ensure your track catches the eye as listeners scroll through a playlist.
Build pre-release momentum before submitting
Curators sometimes check a track's existing engagement before adding it. Even a small number of saves, adds to personal playlists, and social shares signal that real people enjoy the music.
