Submit your pitch at least 3 weeks before your release date. Thursday and Friday releases perform best for playlist consideration.
Keep it under 500 characters. Highlight what makes your song unique, mention any press coverage, and explain why it fits the playlist.
Don't pitch an Amapiano track to a Hip-Hop playlist. Research each playlist's vibe and only pitch songs that genuinely fit.
Playlists prefer tracks that already have some traction. Promote your release on social media and TikTok before pitching.
Curators check artist profiles. Make sure your Spotify/Apple Music artist page is complete with bio, photos, and social links.
If you don't hear back in 2 weeks, a polite follow-up is acceptable. Don't spam curators - one follow-up is enough.
