How to promote your music on Spotify

• Claim your profile, add a current photo, a short bio and your social links.
• Use Artist Pick to pin your newest release or upcoming gig.
• Check your audience stats monthly — they tell you which cities and playlists actually deliver listeners.

In Spotify for Artists you can pitch one unreleased track per release directly to Spotify's editorial team:

• Pitch at least 7 days before release day — earlier is better.
• Pitched tracks land on your followers' Release Radar automatically, even without editorial placement.
• Fill in every field: genre, mood, instruments and culture tags help editors place you.

• Target small, genre-specific playlists — ten niche placements beat one big one.
• Personalise every message: mention a track on their playlist that sits next to yours.
• Never pay for "guaranteed placement" — legitimate curators don't sell spots, and bought streams can get your track removed.

Spotify's algorithm pushes tracks that people finish and save:

• Put your strongest track first everywhere you link — skips in the first 30 seconds hurt you.
• Ask listeners to save, not just stream — saves weigh heavily.
• Release consistently; a steady cadence keeps you in Release Radar and Discover Weekly rotation.

• Every TikTok or Reel that features your track should say where the full song lives.
• Keep one reliable link in every bio — your newest release or your TuneCube tile, which plays your track in one tap.
• Pre-save campaigns before release day give the algorithm a strong first-week signal.
