The platform has given artists 11 brilliant tips on maximising your reach before and after your upcoming release goes live, with a music release checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you upload your music for distribution <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-distribution-unlimited-artists\/\">through RouteNote for free <\/a>or through RouteNote Premium then you can take advantage of all of these tips for releasing music on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-distribution-unlimited-artists\/\">Spotify<\/a>, as well as all of the world\u2019s favourite streaming services and digital stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-set-a-future-release-date-for-your-music-in-stores\/\">Set a release date<\/a> when you upload that gives you enough time to make the most of the following advice from Spotify. Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1118\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/releasing-music-on-spotify-checklist.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95378 lazyload\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. Pitch your release for playlist consideration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting on Spotify playlists can supercharge your streams and follower counts. Over 275k artists were added to official editorial playlists in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our advice for pitching to Spotify playlists <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-get-on-spotify-playlists\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Get Your Music Picked for Spotify Playlists | Top Pitching Tips\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uwn1k4-s06w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Add a Canvas to your track<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything you can do to make your music stand out is a good idea, so check out Spotify Canvas, moving cover art for your song. A Canvas adds an extra dimension to your track and catches the eye of users as well as the ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to upload Spotify Canvas artworks\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mkdu5EBnq14?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>3. Refresh your Artist Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Its important to keep your artist page looking as fresh and informative as possible. Fans want to get a feel for your personality and the vibe of your music beyond the actual songs themselves, and also easily find out what you&#8217;re up to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Choose a new <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-update-your-spotify-artist-profile-image\/\">artist image<\/a><\/li><li>Update your <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-good-music-artist-bio-5-top-tips\/\">bio<\/a><\/li><li>Link to all your social media<\/li><li>Add a <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/you-can-make-money-on-spotify-with-rebranded-fan-support-feature\/\">Fan Support<\/a> link<\/li><li>Provide artist playlists so fans can see what music inspires you<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Keep building your Spotify followers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever you promote your music online, direct people to your Spotify profile so they can discover your full music catalogue and follow you on the platform. Once they&#8217;re followers your new releases will automatically be added to their weekly Release Radar playlist, as well as on their What&#8217;s New feeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Understanding the algoritm for success on Spotify\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vL7BVs_yCjA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>5. Sell your merch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sell merchandise directly through Spotify, and there&#8217;s no time like the present. Spotify says over half of all merch clicks happen in the first 24 days after release day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can display three merch items <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/sell-merch-on-your-artist-page-with-shopify-now-on-spotify-for-artists\/\">using Shopify<\/a> and tag them to releases through Spotify for Artists so they&#8217;ll appear on the relevant pages when listeners explore that release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"qPPQWsd4FO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-start-selling-merch\/\">How to start selling merch<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to start selling merch&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-start-selling-merch\/embed\/#?secret=qPPQWsd4FO\" data-secret=\"qPPQWsd4FO\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>6. Consider a Marquee or audio ad campaign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-apply-for-spotify-marquee-to-amplify-your-new-music\/\">Marquees <\/a>are adverts about your music targeted to users who have listened to your music before. When they open the app a full-screen recommendation encourages them to stream your new release. Find out about Marquees here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-routenote-blog wp-block-embed-routenote-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"HjjZMe2W7X\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-distribution-unlimited-artists\/\">Free music distribution for an unlimited number of artists<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Free music distribution for an unlimited number of artists&#8221; &#8212; RouteNote Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/free-distribution-unlimited-artists\/embed\/#?secret=HjjZMe2W7X\" data-secret=\"HjjZMe2W7X\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>7. Update your Artist Pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An<a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/share-your-favourite-music-on-your-spotify-artist-pages-with-new-artist-picks\/\"> Artist Pick<\/a> catches a user&#8217;s eye as soon as they&#8217;re on your profile. Choose something to highlight, whether that&#8217;s an upcoming show, one of your songs or albums, or music by a fellow artist you&#8217;re collaborating with or just love to listen to. You can add text to personalise the Pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Update Your Artist Pick | Spotify for Artists\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/06PHqleuhEQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>8. Share your new music on social media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Showing off your music outside of Spotify is vital to building a fanbase, so link to your Spotify profile from everywhere you&#8217;re active online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From within the Spotify app,<a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-apply-for-spotify-marquee-to-amplify-your-new-music\/\"> you can share your music<\/a> on Instagram Stories, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, and messaging platforms instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hate social media?

Use your real-time streams on the Spotify mobile app wisely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first week after your release day its important to watch your streaming data so you can see how well your song or album is performing and make adjustments to your promotional strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to the <strong>Spotify for Artists mobile app <\/strong>&gt; <strong>Stats <\/strong>to see your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify for Artists gives you updates to your stats as they happen, with your numbers updating every 1.5 seconds on the Spotify for Artists mobile app. A new obsession is sure to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify suggests a good strategy would be to check back in a week to see how your stats are progressing. Head to your <strong>Audience <\/strong>page where you can see how your counts have changed since release day. You can compare the new release to older releases. The <a href=\"https:\/\/artists.spotify.com\/en\/help\/article\/source-of-streams\">source of streams<\/a> graph shows whereabouts your listeners discovered your music, which might be from playlists, listener&#8217;s saved song libraries, or direct from your profile, so you can shift your strategy going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>10. Take advantage of the many resources Spotify for Artists has for you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify has <a href=\"https:\/\/artists.spotify.com\/blog\">a bunch of great resources<\/a> to help your release be successful.
