Step by step
Five steps to your next placementFrom song link to playlist pitch
No cold emails. Every curator answers.No cold emails, no chasing curators. You see each playlist's track record before you send, and every curator answers.
Step 1: Share your song
Paste a Spotify link, pick up to 3 genres and the vocals language.
We read the public song info: title, artwork and artist. Pick up to 3 genres and the language of the vocals, or Instrumental, so it only reaches playlists that fit.
Step 2: Pick playlists that fit
See each playlist's add rate and cost, then pitch the best fits.
Best matches lists vetted playlists whose genres and languages fit your song. Each one shows its acceptance rate, health score and badges, and exactly what it costs in credits, before you spend anything.
Step 3: Hear back within 72 hours
Credits are held until the review is in. No review in time, credits back.
Your credits are held until the review is in. The curator has 72 hours, and we remind them at 48. No review in time means your credits come back automatically.
Step 4: Read what curators think
At least 150 characters, written for your song. You rate every review.
At least 150 characters written for your song. Copy-paste reviews are blocked, and you rate every review so the best curators rise.
Step 5: Added? You're live for real listeners
Added within 48 hours and kept at least 30 days. We check.
The curator adds your song within 48 hours and keeps it for at least 30 days. We keep checking the playlist. If it's never added, your credits come back.

- Added to playlist
PopPop · reviewed in 19h“Warm guitar tone and a chorus that really opens up in the second half. It sits right next to the songs that do best on this playlist. Adding it this week.”
- Added to playlist
Afrobeats PartyAfrobeats · reviewed in 26h“Bouncy percussion and a hook that gets you moving in the first ten seconds. Bright, warm and exactly what my listeners come here to dance to. Adding it today.”
- Added to playlist
TechnoTechno · reviewed in 8h“Patient build and a drop that pays off. The rolling bassline keeps it hypnotic for late-night sets, which is exactly what this playlist is for. Adding it near the top.”
- Tips for your next pitch
Jazz PlaylistJazz · reviewed in 41h“Your voice is lovely and the chords feel honest. It's a bit too poppy for a jazz list that leans on live horns. I'd pitch it to soul or neo-soul playlists next.”

Know your chances
Pitch the playlists most likely to say yes
Every playlist shows how often it says yes, before you send.
It's the most useful number on every playlist: the share of songs reviewed in the last 90 days that the curator added (wrong-genre calls don't count). It shows “New” until a curator has 10 reviews in that time.
Acceptance rate
Filter and sort playlists by how often they say yes.
A playlist that accepts 35% of songs is a better bet than a bigger one that rarely says yes. Filter and sort the market by it.

FAQ
Read all questions Questions artists ask
Straight answers. There's more on the FAQ page.
Is a placement guaranteed?
No. You pay for a guaranteed review, not a placement. Every submission gets a written review within 72 hours, or your credits come back. Curators decide freely what they add, and a decline is normal: even great songs don't fit every playlist. You can check each playlist's acceptance rate before you send.
How do I know my chances?
Look at three things before you send. The acceptance rate ("Accepts 40%") is the share of songs reviewed in the last 90 days that a curator added, with wrong-genre calls left out; it shows as New until there are 10 reviews in that time. The health score (0–100) shows how reliably a curator answers on time, writes useful feedback and keeps added songs on the playlist. And genre fit matters most: "Best matches" only lists playlists whose genres match your song, and a playlist that fits your sound is a better bet than a bigger one that doesn't.
Do playlists accept songs in my language?
Most do. When you add a song you pick the language of its vocals, or Instrumental. Curators choose which languages each playlist accepts: all languages, a few specific ones, or "not relevant" for playlists where vocals don't matter, like lo-fi, ambient or classical. Best matches only lists playlists that take your song's language, each playlist shows what it accepts, and you can filter the market by language. Instrumentals fit everywhere.
What happens when my song is accepted?
The curator adds it to the playlist within 48 hours of accepting, and it must stay for at least 30 days. We keep checking the playlist, and sometimes ask you to confirm it's there. If an accepted song never makes it onto the playlist, we refund your credits automatically.
Can I dispute a review?
Only if the review itself broke the rules: the feedback is too short, generic or copy-pasted, isn't about your song, or is rude. Disagreeing with a decline or with the curator's taste isn't a reason. Most refunds need no dispute at all: missed deadlines, wrong-genre calls and songs that were never added are refunded automatically. If a review did break the rules, use "Report a problem" on the review within 7 days. Clear cases are decided automatically by our rules and an AI check, and you can always ask a person to look again through Help. If it's upheld, your credits come back.
What are credits?
Credits are what you use to send a song to a playlist. Each playlist shows what a submission costs before you send, and bigger playlists cost a little more. The smallest pack is 10 credits for $10.00. Credits never expire.
