Plan a music release and pitch it to Spotify playlists
A release timeline, editorial pitch, and promotion plan to grow streams without paying for fake plays.
The prompt
Help me plan a music release that gives my track the best realistic chance of playlist placement and growing streams.
Artist and genre: [NAME, GENRE, SUB-GENRE, 2-3 SIMILAR ARTISTS]
Release: [single / EP / album, release date, distributor]
Current numbers: [monthly listeners, followers, email list, social following]
Assets ready: [master, cover art, artist photos, music video, lyrics, bio]
Budget: [AMOUNT for ads, PR, or playlist outreach]
Goal: [e.g. "first editorial placement", "10,000 streams in 4 weeks", "grow followers"]
Give me:
1. How playlists work for my situation: editorial, algorithmic (e.g. Release Radar, Discover Weekly), and independent curator playlists, and what signals tend to help (saves, follows, completion, low skip rates).
2. A week-by-week timeline from 6 weeks before release to 4 weeks after, covering distributor upload, the editorial pitch window, pre-save campaign, profile updates, content, and outreach.
3. A draft editorial pitch for the platform's pitch form: genre, mood, instruments, culture/story, and marketing plans, in the character limits I give you [CONFIRM CURRENT LIMITS].
4. A list of the types of independent curators and blogs to target, how to find them, and a short personalized outreach template.
5. A content plan for short-form video and socials that drives saves, not just views.
6. Metrics to watch in the artist dashboard and what to do if numbers stall.
Rules: avoid any service that sells guaranteed streams, bots, or pay-for-placement playlists; explain the risk (removed streams, takedowns). Do not promise specific numbers.
