Curator Tips

How many songs should I have in my playlist

Don’t create a playlist that contains a lot of songs. Some curators keep adding songs to their playlist without removing old songs, and they end up with a Playlist with over 1000 songs in it. The worst about this is that they add new songs to the end of the playlist (because that's the default behavior in Spotify). This means that all the first songs in your playlist will always be the same, and the newest songs in your playlist won't be heard by anyone unless they go through 999 tracks first.

Not All Playlists Are Created Equally

Spotify playlists have become some of the most valuable digital real estate for artists and labels. If you can get onto a good playlist you can crank a nice flow of streams and earn some serious cheddar. Even better if you can get on an active list and stay there indefinitely. Playlist owners on Spotify are becoming more aware of the value of their playlists and some are charging artists for placements on their list. This violates Spotify’s terms of use and puts the artists profile at risk. Look
