The Platform itself does not make ANY editorial decisions over third party playlists:
Approving or declining a submission is entirely up to the playlist owner you’re submitting to. DailyPlaylists is here to improve and simplify the submission process to increase the chances of getting your music heard.
DailyPlaylists is run by an independent group of individuals organized in a company with no ties to a major record label,major publisher or a major platform.
Search for your track or enter the Spotify link on the homepage and follow the steps.
The platform refreshes your free Standard credits weekly. In the case that you need more standard credits you can purchase them in bundles or earn them over the community section. In the case you need Premium submissions you can purchase them through the Premium Submission submission page.
You can’t submit your music before it is released to Spotify. The earliest day is the release day of your song.
Please double check if you have submitted the correct Spotify track link, not album link.
You can only submit individual tracks right now.
After you submit a song, the song goes into the playlist curators queue so they can listen to the song. If accepted, it will then be added directly to their playlist and you will be notified via email and on your DailyPlaylists dashboard.
Every week you get a free amount of Standard Submissions per which you can use to submit your track to specific playlists. These credits don’t guarantee a response and the curator has 21 days to review the submissions. These credits do not get refunded if there is no response.
Premium Submissions are purchased during the submit to Curators flow. These specific credits allow you to submit to Premium curators, a group of curators who have been vetted by the DailyPlaylists team to guarantee the quality of their playlists.
These credits guarantee a response in the form of feedback or placement, or, if there is no response from a curator within 7 days, the credit will be returned to you.
We have these credits so we can pay the Premium Curators for reviewing submissions. We split each Premium Credit spent with the curator once they have reviewed the submission. We split this 60/40 in the curators favour.

To become a Premium Curator, we look at many different metrics including followers on playlists, quality of curation, branding, marketing and most importantly - engagement.
We first make sure that the curator has at least 1 playlist with a minimum of 1,000 followers, then we look at the branding (make sure all playlists have covers etc), number of tracks (maximum 135) and the engagement, using tools such as Isitagoodplaylist and Chartmetric.
We split each submission reviewed by Premium Curators 60/40. Each submission costs $2 for the artist.
Once you have $20 in revenue, you will be able to request a payout via Paypal. We plan to have different options for payout down the line. If this is an issue, please reach out to us at curators@dailyplaylists.com to see if we can help.
