Spotify offers digital copyright restricted recorded music and podcasts, including more than 60 million songs, from record labels and media companies. As a freemium service, basic features are free with advertisements and limited control, while additional features, such as offline listening and commercial-free listening, are offered via paid subscriptions. Users can search for music based on artist, album, or genre, and can create, edit, and share playlists.




If you were asking yourself how music go viral on Spotify you must know who your competition is so that you can reverse engineer their success.


Make a list of your competition within a few different categories: your hometown (other local artists), your genre's similar artists (from major to independent acts), your subject matter (is it political or spiritual?), etc. You should be able to come up with 10 - 20 for each category. The similar artists who are more independent, cult-level acts will be most helpful to you.

Now Google each lead individually. If you're Googling a local act, take note of every result that comes up. Are they being interviewed or featured? Are they getting sponsored or receiving airplay? Here's where you want to send your personalized pitch, appealing to the writer or DJ, mentioning how you relate to what they do and what you offer as far as a different perspective.

With this tactic, you're doing more work than dozens of artists combined, and it works extremely well.
