Hi

 

Getting your music on playlists is now a common task for artists. I thought a poll would be useful to get an idea of how our members approach playlist!

 

Please take part in the poll!

 

If you have any advice for your fellow artists about getting added to playlists, please add a comment, replying to this post.

 

Cheers

 

John

There are several DIY ways to do it, some easier than others but once you're set up and do it a few times it becomes a pretty routine task to include playlists on your release plan's to-do list.  Here's a blog link of one of these that you might find helpful.  I've included DIYMusicians' article  "Pitch Your New Music to Amazon Music’s Playlists".
