Prepare an editorial playlist pitch from verified release facts

Confirm eligibility and timing

Check the service’s current pitching requirements, intended recording and available artist-account access. Spotify documents a route for eligible upcoming music and says pitching does not guarantee placement. A brief prepared in advance is not evidence that the pitch has been submitted.

Create a factual source sheet

Record title, artist, version, planned date, relevant musical characteristics, approved contributor information and actual campaign plans. Keep evidence for achievements or press coverage. Do not invent genre connections, endorsements, tour dates or numbers merely to fit a playlist theme.

Write one coherent explanation

Explain what the song is about, how it sounds and the concrete context that helps the intended editor. Avoid a list of superlatives. A short, approved recording story can be useful when it is genuine and relevant. Keep private collaborator details and unapproved personal history out of the pitch.

Review and preserve the submission

Have the authorised artist approve the final wording and check the actual account fields. Save the submitted version and reference where supplied. Do not claim payment secures editorial consideration or placement. This guide does not access an artist account, submit a pitch or guarantee a response.
