👋 Hi there, welcome to the first issue of MovGrowth!
This week’s playbook is for artists who want to grow on Spotify. Playlists are still one of the most powerful ways to get streams, but most artists go about it the wrong way. Here’s how to do it right 👇
🎶 Step 1: Start with Micro-Playlists
Don’t waste time chasing giant playlists right away. 👉 Instead, build relationships with micro-curators (200–2,000 followers).
They reply faster.
They care about their playlist quality.
They’re open to supporting upcoming artists.
🎶 Step 2: Personalize Your Pitch
Never send generic “please add my track” messages. Instead, write something like:
“Hey [Name], I loved how you placed [Song] into [Playlist]. My track [Title] has a similar vibe (92 BPM, same key). Would love to send it over if you think it fits.”
💡 Personalization = higher reply rate.
🎶 Step 3: Use Spotify for Artists
Before release:
Upload your song early.
Submit to Spotify’s editorial playlist team via Spotify for Artists.
Fill every detail: genre, mood, instruments.
This increases your chance of landing in Release Radar and Discover Weekly automatically.
🎶 Step 4: Amplify Every Placement
When a curator adds your track:
Thank them publicly on IG stories/Twitter.
Tag them → more credibility.
Share the playlist link with your fans → helps both you and the curator.
📈 Small placements + engagement = momentum → bigger playlists later.
📌 Quick Checklist
✅ Target micro-playlists first
✅ Personalize every pitch
✅ Submit early via Spotify for Artists
✅ Share & thank every curator
Do this consistently for 2–3 months and you’ll see steady playlist growth.
🚀 Tool of the Week
SubmitHub – platform where you can pitch songs to playlist curators, blogs, and influencers. Affordable and good for testing outreach.
