Recommendations Submission Type
In the Recommendations section you will find 5 playlists recommendations based on our matching system - every Monday you will get 5 new recommendations.
This type of submission does not execute any gates, so feel free to send your music to recommended playlists without having to save or follow any Spotify songs or profiles.
Submissions sent over Recommendations have a 7-day deadline for response versus 21-day deadline in the regular Standard Submission flow.
This type of submission is pinned in the curators dashboard so they can review and respond as a priority submission.
Within the Recommendations section, you will also find:
Song stats: General stats on the song analyzed, such as modality, BPM, genres, language and duration - these stats are used to find matching playlists.
Playlist Recommendations: You will see 5 playlist recommendations based on our matching system - every Monday you will have refreshed recommendations.
Playlist Stats: Within each playlist box you will find playlist general stats - a hyperlink text to the playlist and the curator, amount of followers, songs within the playlist, genres and languages for the playlist.
Matching Score: This is the matching score between your song and the recommended playlist - click on “show more” so you can see the breakdown of the score and the criteria used for matching.
