We can’t guarantee how many playlist adds you’ll get using our directory. This depends on several factors outside of our control, including: how many playlists you pitch, how well you’ve selected your targets, the overall popularity of the genre, and (of course) the quality of the track you decide to pitch.

SIZE: We have more playlists and curators listed in our database than any other Spotify contact directory on the market.

DATA QUALITY: We take great care to ensure our data is current and accurate. You can verify the “Last Updated Date” on every record in our database. If you ever find an error, you can report it with one click and we’ll correct it ASAP.

USER-FRIENDLY: Our searchable online directory is easy to use. Search by genre, mood, keyword, or sample artist to find appropriate playlists and curators. Hone in on the most relevant playlists by filtering and sorting your results. Use the Save function to build your own custom target list.

We firmly believe artists are the best representatives of their own music – especially when it comes to pitching music to independent playlist curators. Here’s why :

• AUTHENTICITY: It’s important to remember that independent curators are music fans. For many of them, crafting the perfect playlist is a labor of love. These curators therefore value authenticity and the opportunity to make direct connections with music creators. In our experience, most independent curators tend to respond best to personalized, courteous messages sent by the artists themselves.
• DIRECT CONNECTION TO FANS: When you send your music to someone who’s made a playlist that’s a perfect fit for your song, you’re making a direct connection with a potential lifelong fan of your music. We believe YOU should own that relationship – NOT your promoter or publicist.
• COST: A subscription to PlaylistRadar.com is less than the cost of a single campaign with most promoters and publicists.

Yes! You can submit your playlist to our directory here.
