Of course, that’s just a guess, because it has no way of knowing how many streams it will actually get.Ĭurrently my song has a popularity score of 16 out of 100, so if their algorithm were accurate, that would mean the campaign took the song from a 10 to a 16. So Playlist Push approximates that the playlist adds will result in a 55% increase in that score. Spotify assigns a popularity score to every song and artist, which you can see on Chartmetric. So you may be wondering what the song popularity +55% figure above means. Last time I mentioned that CEO George Goodrich offered me a redo, which we did in March with my song “In Motion”.Īs much as I’d love to be able to tell you my streams went through the roof, that wasn’t the case.

My playlist barely met the minimum requirement of 400 followers and I was a total newb, so my payout was relatively low. It’s determined by your reputation score as a curator, which hinges on a variety of factors, like leaving helpful reviews, how long you’ve been on the platform, and how active your playlists are. I saw plenty of improvements on the curator end, until I decided that screening songs at $0.75 a pop wasn’t worth my time, especially since so few were a good fit for my retro synth playlist. They monitor all accounts for suspicious activity, fake or inactive followers, multiple accounts, and other violations. Since then they’ve gotten their act together. As a result, my five playlist adds were of negligible to questionable value, and I didn’t see my Spotify numbers budge. When I first reviewed the service in November, they were experiencing a massive influx of curators, and weren’t able to screen them all properly. Pop, hip hop, and indie rock are their main genres, which doesn’t bode well for a retro synth nerd like yours truly, but more on that later. The price increases with genre popularity, or by adding multiple genres, providing more placement opportunities.

As of this writing, they have 242 curators across 60 genres with a total of 8 million followers.Ĭampaigns start at $185 and run for two weeks. Playlist Push promises to help independent artists get their music on Spotify playlists, and gives playlist curators a way to monetize their music discovery.
