How We Get Songs on Spotify Editorial Playlists

Episode notes

Getting a song on a Spotify editorial playlist can feel mysterious - or completely out of reach. In this episode, How We Get Songs on Spotify Editorial Playlists , we break down what actually goes into landing editorial placements as independent artists and what doesn’t matter as much as people think. We talk through our real-world process: how we decide which songs to pitch, what Spotify editors look for, the importance of timing and data, and how consistency plays a bigger role than one “big” release. This isn’t a shortcut or a guarantee - but it is a clear, honest look at how editorial playlists really work and how indie artists can give themselves the best possible chance.
