500 Spotify Playlists That You Can Pitch To Right Now
Several members of the Artist Managers Connect Facebook group (a global networking group of artist managers and other music industry professionals such as service providers, music tech founders, and label/publishing reps) curated a list of third-party Spotify playlists.
This amazing resource is a Google Sheet posted by AMC member Jorge Mejias with a caption:
Since I truly hate the fact that there are “PR” companies offering “Spotify Playlist Pitching” for upwards of $1K+ making false promises they know and then saying something around the lines of “it’s just how the industry is” or “Spotify playlisting is tough” or whatever-
Here is a google sheet w/ info on some of the most popular third party Spotify playlists that most of these companies are pitching to because-
1) this information is all public so I don’t feel bad giving it out & saving people some research
2) what you get out of it = how much time you dedicate to it
3) getting scammed in 2017 / not helping prevent it when you can is silly
Contact info is all out there so stop making excuses. Also the follower count on these are outdated.
*Edit* – also this is a thank you to everyone from AMC who has helped me out thus far. you rock~
*Edit2* – also please refrain from publicly posting any contact info- thank youuu!
*Edit3* – this post by no means aims to discredit companies who do properly provide pitching services. Dan put it best by saying “Would like to caveat that some of us work records at Spotify and Apple Music very transparently and based on years of repertoire and success for our artists within the platform’s respective ecosystems. ”
*Edit4* – thank you Dustin for contributing his spreadsheet
The list requires you to do a little bit of work to reach out to the curator, but the awesome thing about the list is that they’ve already done the work to identify the curator’s Spotify username and have tracked followers and genre to help you sort and prioritize.

Go forth and pitch your music!
Let me know if you land a placement.

Hi Dae! Just stumbling upon this while researching companies that pitch to Spotify Playlists. This list is awesome. I don’t see any email address though. How do you recommend reaching these curators? Thanks so much for your help!
I’m not sure. I only shared what I was given.
Hi!
I’m the owner of the playlist “joe and the juice” on Spotify, that has 5.925 followers at the moment, with more joining every single day. If you are an artist / promoter / manager, feel free to hit me up with your music and I’ll give it a spin. My email is vjacob_b@hotmail.com
Best, Jacob
Thanks for sharing.
