Editorial playlist pitching

Hello

With AMPLIFY +, there is the feature called “Editorial playlist pitching”.
The information button says:
“Be eligible to be pitched by our team to official editorial playlists on Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Beatport, Apple Music & more.”

Does someone know how that works and what we have to do to compete?

Hello @Argo74

Thank you for your message. Yes, you are right, there is a tip to use if you want to apply for iMusician playlists on Spotify. For me it’s /intl-fr that must be removed.

But the option provided by AMPLIFY+ is still not clear, because the application you are talking about (apply for iMusician playlists) is open to anyone (even without any subscription). I understood that AMPLIFY+ was a way to reach the official Spotify playlists (made by Spotify) but I’m not sure.

All the best!

I don’t have the service in the app, can someone do a screenshot ?

Thanks! I didn’t see that. However, it’s still about the playlist everyone can find and submit from iMusician’s website as @EMBmusic said.

Hello all @eriahummingbird @Argo74 @liamphanmusic @EMBmusic ! Hope the summer is going well, despite the weather being a roller caoster!

Actually, the service called Editorial playlist pitching refers to our internal pitching procedure. We have a dedicated team who is checking on the releases we receive and when we spot a good one, we are sending out to the available editorial playlists on Spotify, Deezer, Amazon, Beatport, Apple Music & more!

The eligible artists are being informed by us when this happens :slight_smile: but of course you can always submit your track to our playlists on Spotify! Just to make a small celebration, we just hit a new milestone!

Hope this helps and looking forward for your releases!

Oh okay that’s cool ! Would be cool to actually have a dedicated service for that (even if we need to pay for it) since at the moment they don’t accept artist submission.

Some people sell this kind of service on the Internet. Most of them seem to be crooks… Yes, it would be better if this service was offered by a site we know.

Editorial is a hard topic and to understand. If you want to pitch to Spotify directly this wont work anymore. As you can imagine by 70k songs daily upload which is insane to believe u get picked up.
You can use third party services like www.songrocket.com which I trust the most, but they dont guarantee u placements which goes against the T&Cs of Spotify. So they are whitelisted plus you can test low budget so it doesnt hurt if u get none placements. And you can extend after. They have some major artists on board as well.
