Hi @MattiaBalboni , maybe you could tell us more about what you mean, like the best strategy for doing what exactly? But for what regards quality streams and placements and apart from the things said above, I think it is always nice to post the playlist adds and share them with your friends and fans, also reaching out to the curators and telling them what you like in particular in that playlists, hope I got your question well so far 
Thanks a lot Andi,
here is the link of the playlist. If you want to have your track on this one, just go to the discord, and ask at @lastravageopinion to put it 
Have a nice day

We wanted to add this thought about listening to songs on spotify and other streaming platforms regarding some kind of new streaming etiquette we would like to introduce to you, hoping yāall might find it usefull although itās not strictly related to this topic:
As streaming platforms generally count 30+ seconds of listening as a stream we think it would be nice to avoid skipping or jumping to another track before of that. Not only it will not count as a stream which could be ok but the spotify algo, for example, will put a negative note on that song.
This also applies to playlist curators, we want to invite everybody to give the songs that apply to your playlist a chance. Even better if you listen to them for 90+ seconds or best to the whole song as some interesting things might occur after the first 30 seconds. And, we all know how easy it is to fall into this ādecline moodā when we listen to dozens of songs that applied to our playlists. Listening to a song a little longer sometimes makes us be more objective and approve songs we might have declined after listening to them for just a few seconds.
So, letās all give music a chance!!! 
Hello,
I would be very interested to know how IMusician judges the submitted songs for a playlist. I had submitted many songs to various iMusician playlists in the past. Unfortunately, none of these have been added.
I would like to understand what I need to do better as an artist. Are the singles not good enough?
Thanks and have a nice weekend everyone

Hi @cantheproducer, maybe @JJ_JJ and @SimonG can help out more than me with this, but as far as I can see, it doesnāt have anything to with doing better as an artist but dipends on the personal taste of the curators and the style of the playlist and, obviously, those two put together.
Also, for what I had the chance to experience, playlists arenāt updated that frequently on iMusician, so it might be that your songs still have to be heard. Maybe we can hope to see some improvement here too as Simon announced some things are going to happen soon on the playlist front
Btw, what is the style of your music? can you post a link to it? I would be very interested to give it a listen.

hey @cantheproducer, Iāve listened to your music, wow, it changed a lot over time! I, personally, like āStoriesā a lot 
just as an idea, you might want to update your artist profile on spotify, maybe add some pics and an artist pick. these little attentions can help to make a curator more interested in staying on your page and listening more to your music.

@cantheproducer There is also a specific topic About the How To Get Playlisted category where maybe you could get some more accurate answers 
I could also immagine that the whole last section of this topic might be moved directly there, maybe @antonioayora might help us with this

Exactly, this depends on the playlist mood/genres and the taste of the curator. We update the playlists every 2-4 weeks for the ones that are active, some need a new curator #lookingforlove

And one more thing: Participating to a common playlist and chat creates an amazing connection between artists! And we as independent indie artists can use that boost that comes from the community interaction and interconnection, together we can make great things happen! And we want to invite everyone to share their thoughts and experiences with playlisting
