Editorial and algorithmic playlists
Release Radar and Discover Weekly put you in front of listeners who have never heard of you. Both feed off clean metadata and consistent releases.

Get your music
on Spotify
Spotify is where most independent artists build their audience first — and where most of their streaming income comes from. Getting on it is free with Leo Network, and your release lands with the credits, artwork and release date you set.

How Spotify pays
Where the money
actually comes from
Spotify pools all subscription and ad revenue each month, then divides it by total streams — so your rate moves with the market, the country your listeners are in, and whether they pay. There is no fixed per-stream price, and anyone quoting one is guessing. What matters is that you can see the real reported figure per territory in your statements.

Getting the most
out of Spotify
What actually moves the needle on this platform — from artists who release here every week.
Schedule 4 weeks out
Editorial pitching only accepts unreleased tracks, and the queue is long. Four weeks gives your pitch a real chance.
Pitch one song, not the album
You get one pitch per release. Choose the track most likely to fit an existing playlist mood.
Fill in every pitch field
Genre, mood, instruments and the story behind the song are what editors actually filter on.
Release consistently
The algorithm rewards artists who feed it. A single every 6–8 weeks outperforms one album a year.
Before you upload
What Spotify
needs from you
Get these right the first time and your release sails through QC. Get them wrong and it bounces back.
What we need
The specs every store expects, including Spotify.

- Credits: primary artist, featured artists, writers and producers
- Language and genre set accurately for the release

What gets rejected
The most common reasons a release fails QC.
- Artwork with URLs, social handles or pricing on it
- Blurry or low-resolution covers, or non-square images
- Third-party logos or store names in the artwork
- Misleading artist names — using a famous artist to get found
- Silence, clipping or audio that cuts off abruptly
- Uncleared samples or covers without a mechanical licence

How long does it take to get my music on Spotify?
Once your release passes QC we deliver within 24–48 hours. Spotify then needs a little time to process it. We recommend scheduling at least 7 days ahead, and 2–4 weeks if you want a shot at editorial playlists.
Can I pitch to Spotify editorial playlists?
Yes — through Spotify for Artists, and only for releases that aren't out yet. That's why scheduling ahead matters. We also pitch eligible releases to our own curator network.
How much does Spotify pay per stream?
There is no fixed rate. It varies by country, listener type and how the revenue pool splits that month. What we can promise is that you see exactly what Spotify reported, per territory, in your statements.
Will my music appear on the right artist profile?
Yes, as long as we link the correct Spotify URI at upload. If you're a new artist we create the profile; if you already have one, give us the link and we deliver into it.
