Frequently asked questions

What are Spotify playlist curators?

Spotify playlist curators are people or teams who manage playlists on Spotify. They choose which songs fit their playlists based on genre, mood, audience, quality, and personal taste. Some curators accept music submissions from artists, managers, labels, and publicists.

How do I submit music to Spotify playlist curators?

To submit music to Spotify playlist curators, choose playlists that match your track, send a clear pitch, and include the right song link and artist details. With SubmitLink, artists can create a submission, browse relevant playlist opportunities, and send tracks to curators through one workflow.

What is a playlist curator submission?

A playlist curator submission is a song pitch sent to a curator for playlist consideration. The curator reviews the track and decides whether to share it, decline it, refund it, or leave feedback depending on the submission type and review flow.

How do I find playlist curators for my genre?

Look for curators whose playlists match your genre, mood, audience, and similar artists. SubmitLink helps with this by using artist and genre signals to surface playlist matches, so you are not sending the same generic pitch to every curator.

Are there free playlist curators?

Yes, some playlist curators accept free submissions. Free playlist curators can be useful for early-stage artists, but placement is still based on curator fit and taste. A free submission should never be treated as a guaranteed playlist add.

Are Spotify curators the same as playlist curators?

In most artist marketing conversations, “Spotify curators” usually means playlist curators who manage Spotify playlists. This is different from Spotify’s internal editorial team, which reviews unreleased music through Spotify for Artists.

Do Spotify playlist curators guarantee placement?

No legitimate playlist curator should guarantee placement just because you submit a song. Real curator pitching means your track is reviewed for fit. Curators may share your song, decline it, or provide feedback, but the decision should remain independent.

What should I include when pitching playlist curators?

Include your Spotify track link, artist name, genre, mood, release date, and a short reason the song fits the playlist. Keep the pitch focused. Curators are more likely to take a submission seriously when it is relevant and easy to review.

How can I tell if a playlist curator is worth submitting to?

A good playlist curator has real audience fit, active playlists, consistent curation, and signs of genuine listener activity. On SubmitLink, artists can compare playlist signals like followers, estimated listeners, share rate, and projected streams before choosing where to submit.

What is the difference between playlist curators and playlist promotion?

Playlist curators review and choose songs for their own playlists. Playlist promotion is a broader term that can include ads, campaigns, pitching, or marketing services. SubmitLink focuses on curator submissions and campaign tools, not guaranteed placements or artificial streaming.

Can Spotify playlist curators help grow my audience?

Yes, the right Spotify playlist curators can help your music reach listeners who are likely to care about your sound. The best results usually come from relevant playlists, real listeners, and curators whose audience matches your genre.

Why use SubmitLink instead of contacting playlist curators manually?

Manual outreach can be slow, hard to track, and difficult to evaluate. SubmitLink gives artists a cleaner way to find playlist curator opportunities, submit tracks, review responses, track campaign progress, and avoid wasting time on irrelevant playlists.
