In Conclusion…
The key to getting on these playlists is doing your research and being diligent. Make sure you’re submitting your best tracks, but try not to send too many. You don’t want to be overlooked by the curator you just annoyed with your 20 submissions. Find a happy medium. We suggest not submitting more than 3 songs and to keep your message short and sweet. If you don’t get a response after a month, respectfully try again. It doesn’t hurt to include a question in there as another incentive for them to give you a meaningful response.
Keep your head up; there are endless opportunities to get yourself featured. Good things come to those who wait…. and those who do their research.

🤓 Editors Note: Streaming fraud is a serious problem in the music industry. In a world that’s obsessed with stats, it’s understandable why. But the issue runs deeper than just buying streams. Even if you decide to work with a service that claims to be legitimate, they may secretly be using the same illegal methods you’re trying to avoid. Faking success, whether intentional or accidental, is way more harmful to your career than helpful. It’s up to you to be conscious of scammers, bots, and misinformation, but we’re here to provide a helping hand.
