Spotify remains one of the leading streaming platforms in the industry and continues to be one of the most important places for independent artists to grow their audience. One of the ways we highlight the talented artists in our community is through our Spotify playlists!
We’ve created playlists spanning across many genres featuring some of the best up-and-coming talent in our community. If you’d like your music to be considered, here’s how to submit your track…
How to Submit Your Music to Symphonic’s Spotify Playlists
What To Know Before You Submit
Before you send in your track, run through this quick checklist:
✅ Listen to the playlist first. Make sure your song fits the overall sound, energy, audience, and genre.
✅ Match the genre, mood, and tempo. A great song can still be the wrong fit if it does not feel natural next to the other tracks. Ask yourself:
- Does this track sound like it belongs on this playlist?
- Does the mood match what listeners expect?
- Is this the strongest song from my current release cycle?
- Would a new listener understand my sound from this track?
✅ Make sure your release looks professional. Your song should be fully released, properly titled, and easy to find, with clean metadata, accurate artist names, strong cover art, and a complete artist profile.
✅ Build momentum before pitching. Playlist placement works best when your track already has real fan activity, like saves, shares, repeat listens, and engagement from listeners.

FAQ: Submitting Music to Symphonic’s Spotify Playlists
Do I have to distribute with Symphonic to submit my music?
Symphonic playlists are designed to highlight artists in our community, so priority is typically given to Symphonic clients and distributed releases. Before submitting, make sure your release is live, easy to find, and connected to the correct artist profile.
What makes a track a strong fit for a playlist?
A strong fit is not only about the quality of the song. The track should match the playlist’s genre, mood, energy, tempo, and listener expectation. Before submitting, listen to the playlist from start to finish and ask whether your song would feel natural between the tracks already featured.
Should I submit my newest song or my best-performing song?
Submit the track that makes the most sense for the playlist. In many cases, that may be your newest priority release, but it should also be one of your strongest songs and a clear representation of your sound. If another track from your current release cycle fits the playlist better, that may be the smarter submission.
Can I submit the same song to more than one playlist?
You should only submit to playlists where the song genuinely fits. Sending the same track to every playlist does not improve your chances if the genre, mood, or audience is not aligned. A focused submission to the most relevant playlist is stronger than submitting everywhere.
Does playlist placement guarantee more streams?
No playlist placement can guarantee streams, saves, followers, or long-term growth. Placement can help introduce your music to new listeners, but performance depends on how listeners respond. Saves, repeat listens, shares, profile visits, and fan engagement all matter.
What should I do if my track gets added?
If your track is added, share the playlist with your audience, post about the placement, encourage fans to follow the playlist, and keep driving listeners back to the song. Playlist support works best when it is part of a bigger release strategy, not the only promotional effort behind the track.
What if my song is not selected?
If your song is not selected, it does not mean the track is not good. It may simply mean it was not the right fit for the playlist at that time. Keep building momentum, growing your audience, improving your artist profile, and submitting future releases that closely match the playlist’s sound.
