Editorial playlists on major DSPs like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and Audiomack are curated by editorial teams – genre specialists and tastemakers who handpick tracks based on quality, market relevance, and listening trends. For artists, placement on these playlists can lead to a significant spike in streams, followers, and visibility. But for music distributors, editorial playlisting is more than just a boost – it’s a strategic advantage for your catalogue and a valuable service offering to your clients.
At My Client Zone, we empower distributors to pitch their artists for editorial playlist consideration through our direct relationships with DSPs – helping you secure coveted placements and elevate your artists’ profiles globally.
How to Get Your Artists onto Editorial Playlists
With thousands of tracks released daily, standing out in front of editorial teams is challenging. However, platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music allow for direct editorial pitching if submissions are made in advance. Through My Client Zone, you can leverage our editorial connections to pitch qualified releases – increasing the chances of playlist inclusion.
Whether your artists have strong pre-release marketing strategies, growing organic momentum, or standout tracks with playlist potential, editorial teams are always scouting for new music. By distributing through My Client Zone, you gain access to our pitching infrastructure and submission pathways.
Submitting a Track for Editorial Pitching
To use our editorial playlist pitching service, the track must be distributed via My Client Zone. Once the release is scheduled and delivered to DSPs, you can submit it to our internal pitching team for consideration. Contact the team via email – [email protected]
To qualify, submissions must:
- Be scheduled at least 8 weeks ahead of release (for full global pitching campaigns)
- Include a private listening link to the track (e.g. SoundCloud, Dropbox)
Once our team reviews the submission and determines editorial suitability, we’ll proceed with the pitch. If additional pitching support is required, you’ll be advised on tailored campaign options.
Required Information and Artist Assets
To craft an effective pitch, we require a comprehensive One Sheet or Electronic Press Kit (EPK) for the artist. This should include:
- Artist bio and location
- Genre and mood of the release
- Notable achievements or press features
- Tour dates, radio support, or significant milestones
- Unique story behind the release or artist branding
We offer EPK and press one-sheet creation services designed specifically for music distributors looking to present their artists professionally and powerfully. These documents not only enhance playlist pitching but also serve broader promotional needs including sync, media coverage, and label attention.
Our editorial pitching successes have included placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday, Apple Music’s New in Rock, and Alt Pop, among others. With My Client Zone, your artists benefit from a team that understands curation trends and speaks directly with DSP editors.
