Same playlists as the big agencies.
Half the price.
Your streams, guaranteed.
Every campaign is built to move your Popularity Score, the metric that unlocks Discover Weekly, Release Radar, and organic algorithmic reach. Not just a stream count.
Here's what we've achieved for artists like you
Why most playlist campaigns
quietly kill your career
Bots and fake streams
Many services use bot traffic or stream farms. Spotify's fraud detection is aggressive - artists have had entire catalogues removed for accepting fake streams, even unknowingly.
Streams from the wrong countries
Streams from Tier 3 countries with no cultural connection to your genre carry almost zero algorithmic weight. They pad your numbers and do nothing for your growth or Popularity Score.
Wrong playlist fit
Being placed on a playlist with the wrong genre or mood triggers high skip rates. A high skip rate is one of the most damaging signals you can send to Spotify's algorithm.
No algorithmic impact
One-time passive streams - even legitimate ones - don't move the needle alone. The algorithm responds to engagement: repeat listens, saves, playlist adds, and profile visits. Most campaigns deliver none of these.
No reporting, no transparency
You pay, you wait, you get a stream count. No context, no data, no insight into whether it actually worked - or what damaged your Popularity Score in the process.
Overpriced for what you get
Most agencies charge a premium for the same placements - or worse, for placements that are cheaper to access and more effective. You're paying for a brand name, not better results.
Your Popularity Score is
Spotify's report card for your music
Spotify Popularity Score
A higher score tells Spotify's algorithm your music is resonating - opening the door to Discover Weekly, Release Radar, Radio, and organic algorithmic reach.
The score that shapes everything
Spotify scores every song from 0β100 based purely on how listeners actually behave with it. It's not about follower counts, marketing spend, or how often you post - it's a direct reflection of real engagement.
Every campaign we run is built to generate the kind of engagement that moves this score - right listeners, right playlists, right genre fit. When the score moves, the algorithm notices.
- Long listen time
- Repeat listeners
- Saves to library
- Personal playlist adds
- Profile visits
- Genre-matched placement
- High skip rate
- Wrong genre playlists
- Bot / fake streams
- No listener engagement
- One-time passive plays
Access to playlists that
rank at the top of Spotify search
Most playlist campaigns get you placed on playlists that nobody actively seeks out. We focus on playlists that rank at the top of Spotify's internal search engine for high-intent keywords - specific genres, moods and contexts.
When someone searches "late night indie" or "dark hip hop 2025" and your song is on the playlist that comes up first, you're getting streams from listeners who are actively looking for something like you.
- β Listeners in discovery mode have intent - and intent means longer listen time, more saves, and a higher repeat rate
- β These are the engagement signals that push your Popularity Score up
- β Top-ranked playlists get consistent organic traffic every day - not just when a curator posts about it
- β We monitor search rankings constantly and only work with playlists maintaining top positions

From artists who just wanted
real, honest growth
I'd tried two other playlisting services before this and both times I had no idea what actually happened to my money. This was completely different - weekly reports, Popularity Score tracking, I could see everything moving in real time. 19,266 streams and Discover Weekly kicked in around week six. That alone made it worth it.
57k streams but honestly the number isn't even the main thing. Our Popularity Score moved significantly, and we're still seeing the tail end of it months later - Radio feeds, listener saves, people finding older tracks. That compounding effect is what we were after. The campaign did exactly what it said it would.
Straightforward process, no upselling, no vague promises. I got a genre-matched playlist list before anything went live, approved it, and the results came through clean. 20k streams, Discover Weekly at week five, completion rate on the track was way up. Does what it says. I've already booked a second campaign.
