Playlist Quality

How We Vet Every Playlist

Follower counts are easy to inflate and easy to misread. Before a playlist can receive submissions it has to pass a few checks, and the checks keep running after it’s approved.

Every playlist on the platform went through these steps first.

Four Checks Before Any Track

Curator-Owned

Only their own playlists. Curators sign up with the Spotify profile behind their playlists and can only offer playlists that profile owns.

Public on Spotify

Anyone can open it. A playlist has to be public before it can be selected, approved or used to confirm a placement.

1,000+ Followers

A minimum audience. Smaller playlists can’t be offered yet. Followers alone prove very little, which is why the last step exists.

Reviewed by a Person

No automatic approvals. Our team looks at the playlist’s history, audience and genres before approving it.

After Approval

The Checks Keep Running

Freshstats

Up-to-Date Numbers

Followers and stream estimates are refreshed regularly, so a profile reflects the playlist as it is now.

1artist

One-Artist Playlists

Playlists built mostly around a single artist are flagged for our team to review.

Livechecks

Private Means Paused

We confirm a playlist is still public before every acceptance and placement check. Private or deleted playlists stop receiving tracks.

Before You Pitch Anywhere

Followers that don’t add up

Thousands of followers but very few streams, or followers that jump overnight, often point to bought followers.

A playlist that takes anything

Real playlists have a clear sound. One that accepts every genre is usually selling slots.

Guaranteed results

Anyone who guarantees a placement or a number of streams in exchange for money is a red flag.

The ownership badge

Real placements through the platform confirm the curator controls the playlist.

What vetting can’t do

It can’t make a curator say yes or promise streams. Curators decide; listeners do the rest.
