What is playlist placement?

Playlist placement means your track is added to a curated playlist that already has listeners. Artist Push has handled more than 2,300 playlist placement orders for independent artists. You pick the platform (Tidal, Apple Music or Deezer) and the number of playlists, then send a link to the song. We match it to playlists in its genre, with prices from $8 for one Tidal playlist.

You can follow the new plays in your artist stats on the platform. Bigger packages spread the track across more playlists, so the streams come from more listeners.

How does playlist placement work?

Three steps. You never share a password or give anyone access to your account.
Choose a package
Pick Tidal, or curated playlists on Apple Music and Deezer, then choose from 1 to 100 playlists. Most artists place the order in a few minutes.
1
Step
Send the track link
Paste it at checkout. We check the genre, tempo and mood of the song and pick playlists whose listeners already play music like yours.
2
Step
Listening starts
Streams usually begin within 1–2 days for Playlist Push and 2–3 days on Tidal. Your track stays in the playlists for up to 6 months, and each playlist brings an estimated 1,000–2,000 streams.

Which playlist package fits your release?

The right package depends on the platform and how wide you want to go. One playlist works as a test for a new song. Ten or more playlists suit a release you plan to promote for several weeks.

  • Tidal Playlists Placement. 1 to 10 Tidal playlists, $8 to $60. Royalty-paying streams from US and European listeners.
  • Playlist Push. 1 to 100 curated playlists on Apple Music and Deezer, $10 to $499. A new single that needs its first listeners.
  • Hip Hop Playlist Springboard. Up to 100 hip-hop playlists with 30k likes, $99. Rap, hip-hop and R&B tracks.
  • Curated Playlist “Top Speed”. One playlist with 10k likes, $85. One strong placement instead of many small ones.

All four packages need only a link to the track. If you also want blog features, radio or social posts, a music promotion package adds them to the playlists in one order.

Where will my track be placed?

Your track goes into genre playlists on Tidal, Apple Music or Deezer. Tidal pays artists for every stream. Our Tidal playlists have listeners in the US and Europe. We have run more than 580 Tidal placement orders so far.

On Apple Music and Deezer, Playlist Push places the song in curated playlists matched to its genre. You choose how many playlists you want, from one to a hundred. A larger campaign that also covers listeners and streams is part of our streaming promotion range.

What is the difference between playlist placement and playlist pitching?

Playlist pitching means you send a song to curators, and each one decides whether to add it. You usually pay for the review, and many pitches end with no placement. Playlist placement skips that step. Your package has a fixed number of playlists, and the track goes into each one.

Pitching still makes sense when you want feedback from curators. Placement makes sense when you need listeners on a release date.

How can you tell a real playlist placement from a scam?

A real placement puts your song next to tracks of the same genre, in a playlist people follow. Fake playlists mix random genres and get their streams from bots. Streaming platforms remove bot streams and can take down the track itself. Before you pay any service, check four things:

  • The playlist has followers and recent updates, not only a big number.
  • The songs around yours are in your genre.
  • The service asks for a link and never for your password.
  • Streams arrive over days, not all within one hour.

We pick playlists by genre for every order. That way your song reaches people who already listen to music like it.

FAQ

How much does playlist placement cost?
Playlist placement at Artist Push costs from $8 for one Tidal playlist to $499 for 100 curated playlists. One Playlist Push playlist costs $10, and ten cost $65. Genre packages such as Hip Hop Playlist Springboard cost $99.
How do I get my music on playlists?
You can pitch curators yourself or use a placement service. Pitching costs little, but many curators say no. A paid placement gives you a set number of playlists and starts within a few days.
How long does it take for streams to start?
On Tidal, streams usually start within 2–3 days after you order. For Playlist Push, they usually start within 1–2 days. You will see the first plays in your artist stats on the platform.
How long does my track stay in the playlist?
Up to 6 months. During that time the playlist keeps bringing new listeners to the track. When the placement ends, you can order a new one for the same song.
How many streams does one playlist bring?
One playlist usually brings 1,000–2,000 streams. The exact number depends on the playlist size, your genre and how listeners react to the song.
Is paid playlist placement safe for my account?
Yes, when the playlists have real listeners in your genre. The risk comes from bot playlists that send streams without real listening. We use curated genre playlists only and never ask for your password.
Do streams from playlist placement earn royalties?
Yes. Streams from real listeners count like any other play. They pay royalties through your distributor in the usual way.
Can I run Tidal and other playlist placements at the same time?
Yes. You can add Tidal Playlists Placement and Playlist Push to the same cart. Each package runs on its own, so you can choose a different number of playlists for each.
