Why timing matters

If you’re releasing music on Spotify for Artists, don’t wait till the last minute to pitch your track. Submitting your release at least a week in advance gives Spotify’s editorial team more time to review it, and that can make a real difference.

Early pitching also signals that you’re organised and serious about your rollout. It allows Spotify to better understand your track’s mood, genre, and audience before it goes live, which improves your chances of getting playlisted.

A small habit that goes a long way

Try submitting your music at least four weeks before the release date so that your distributor can review and deliver your release to stores on time. If you’re releasing with distributors like Ziddi, you can schedule your release on a particular date with no extra charges.

Early pitching is a simple step, but it that can quietly increase your reach every single time you drop new music.
