Submitting your song to playlists is a magnificent way to expand your audience and make your music heard. Entering into a well curated playlist that fits the style/genre of your track and has an engaged audience boosts the probability of connecting with listeners and turning them into followers.
On DailyPlaylists, we provide an easy and intuitive marketplace to submit your music to diverse playlists and curators. At the top of our home page you will find a toolbar to enter the name of the song you want to submit - we will give you the most popular options with the text you provide, if your song doesn’t appear you can always paste the link in the toolbar.
Once you select the song you want to submit, you will be redirected to the submission selection page - in there you can listen to the song you picked and select either you want to submit to Standard playlists or Premium curators.
For standard submissions we enable the marketplace where artists can submit their music to various playlists for free. As the marketplace is free exchange, we cannot guarantee a response from all the playlists you submit to. The marketplace highlights a variety of established, and enthusiastic, up and coming curators meaning expected results can vary. For Premium submissions it is necessary to purchase premium credits, as it only hosts vetted curators with active playlists. On Premium you will get a placement or guaranteed feedback - your credit will be refunded if you don’t get a response within 7 days.
Every week we give our users an amount of free Standard credits to encourage music discovery, also you can buy additional Premium credits to submit to Premium curators and receive guaranteed feedback. If you want to know more about the difference between Standard and Premium credits click here.
After you select the type of submission you want, you will be redirected to the playlist selection. First, you have to select the genre of the playlist you are looking for - which obviously has to match with the genre of the song you are submitting. We will show you the playlists and curators that match your genre selection. Now you can start looking for the perfect playlist to submit to.
All the available playlists are displayed in a box with basic information such as the playlist name, curator, number of followers and number of tracks. Also in each playlist box you will find additional information including a description of the playlist - in Premium submissions you can additionally see the curator’s acceptance rate and pending submissions.
We strongly recommend that you listen to the playlist before submitting. The only way of truly understanding the style of a playlist is listening to it, so active and conscious listening will definitely improve your acceptance rate. On the other hand, if you submit without listening and only paying attention to the numbers, you have a higher number of denied submission.
Once you have the final selection of playlists and curators you want to submit to, hit the ‘Continue’ button. You will be taken to the checkout of the submission - in there you can see the number of credits your total submissions cost and also the gates necessary to submit.
Once you check everything is Ok, hit the ‘Submit now’ button - and that’s it, your song has been submitted. You will be automatically taken to your Dashboard, where you can see all of your submissions - keeping track of the playlists you submitted as well as the approvals and denials.
That’s the process of submitting a song on DailyPlaylists, we hope you find this information useful! Don’t hesitate to reach out if there are any questions. See you around DailyPlaylists!
