You can now submit directly to Spotify editors!

Spotify submission forms have been floating around the web for some time now. For the fortunate few artists that located these mysterious Google Forms the links were closely guarded and rarely shared. With major labels and distributors able to pitch priority releases to the Spotify editorial team through other means this left many Indie artists feeling left out in the cold.

Spotify (once again) have stepped things up. Now all users of Spotify for Artists or Spotify Analytics have the opportunity to submit a song to the relevant editorial team.

Don’t rule out Deezer

With Spotify and Apple Music claiming the majority of subscribers (60 million and 30 million respectively), there’s another service that is gaining momentum. Deezer started in 2007 and currently has over 10 million active subscribers who you are probably not reaching with Spotify and Apple Music.
