SubmitHub

Spotify Playlist Checker | SubmitHub Check the quality of any playlist on Spotify. We'll tell you if we think it's using bots or artificial streaming.

💡 AND you can also check each curator's average listening time here 👉 submithub.com/listens

We even show you a (red) note in the list of curators (under the curator's stats) if the curator listens extremely briefly, or a green one if they listen longer ☝️ – so that you can make an informed decision as to who to submit to.

The average, site-wide listening time is 02:38 ⏲️ – and this number is based on 233,064 data samples, DECLINES ONLY. So, even if you feel that curators may not listen enough before they dismiss you, those who listen very briefly are actually the vast minority.

That being said, once your music reaches that level and you find curators who vibe with it, you'll get picked up rather quickly 📈 So, don't forget to keep working on your music – it will only get better with time 💪

It's true that (not only) on SubmitHub, you're competing against (many) indie and signed artists ⚔️ Our curators receive submissions from both tiny and huge names, so you need to ensure your music is standing out enough and the quality competitive to make the cut.

Are you an AND or an OR person when submitting? 💭

If you opt for "or," we're showing you curators who accept either genre you've chosen (not necessarily both). If you leave it at "and," your choice will be more limited because the resulting list will include only curators that accept both genres.

The AND vs. OR Debate 💪

Did you notice the little purple "and" or "or" between the genres you've chosen for your songs when submitting to curators? 🤫 That little word is CLICKABLE and changes between "and" and "or" when you click on it.

P.S. The same goes for the Premium credits you earned for free by leaving feedback in Hot or Not.

The credits you bought are yours to keep. You don't have to use them on 1 song. You can use them on previous or future ones, or ads, as you please 🔀 There is no specific way to spend them. Even if you're on a hiatus, they'll wait for you until you decide to release/submit again.

From time to time, we get questions about our credit-based system, particularly regarding how quickly one needs to spend the credits and whether they can be used for a different song than the one they were bought for 💸

You should know that SubmitHub credits NEVER expire.

An artist's goal is not to dwell on those opinions but to find and connect with the small percentage that actually vibes with it 💡

Even if you play a famous, professionally produced tune from the top 100 charts to people on the street, it actually won't resonate with everyone – most people will probably not like it (or plainly hate it) 📻

You might be angry, frustrated, let down, or even feel "destroyed" by some curators' feedback 😤 Yes, it's hard to put yourself and your music out there and then hear it criticized.

However, try to take it as part of the process and work on growing a thick skin 💪

A super useful SubmitHub guide just dropped on Loop Solitaire’s blog – and we’re absolutely recommending reading this post if you want real tips, smart hacks, and a better way to approach SubmitHub without wasting your credits 🙌

❝ I’ve been on both sides: as an artist hoping to get heard, and as a curator listening through thousands of tracks. This is from someone who knows the struggle of being ignored and the guilt of declining someone’s submission.

And no matter the release date, pitching during slower days means curators are more relaxed, less overwhelmed – and you’re more likely to get noticed.

Even if it only boosts your chances by a couple of %, it might just be worth it! 🙌

Our #ProTip: If you can, aim to submit on weekends and/or Mondays and Tuesdays – especially for upcoming releases 🗓️

Why? With a released song, you won’t be competing for space in those freshly updated Friday playlists.

Fridays are packed with new music, filling up curators’ queues and playlists fast. Saturdays and Sundays? Much calmer – which makes them perfect for pitching your song and getting a bit more attention ✔️

Use your quick pitch, and if choosing Honest Feedback, also the optional Requested topic to tell the curator what you want feedbacked. Whether it's their opinion on lyrics, quality, or something else, you'll likely get useful feedback if you specify what you would find helpful.

Do you feel like the #feedback you're getting is useless?

Our curators are human, and they may think the feedback they're giving is useful because that's how they would prefer it. If you want feedback that is useful for you, you need to specify what you want feedback on.

Doing all this for free would never be sustainable. This is why we believe curators should be compensated for their time 💡

☝️ More often than not, the earnings from submissions don't even cover the minimum wage.

Unless you're a curator, you can't really imagine those tens and hundreds of emails asking to be featured. You spend a huge amount of time (often many hours a day) sorting through emails, listening to submissions, responding, and featuring those that fit your platform.

Why do curators charge for consideration? 🤔

Imagine building something in your free time that benefits your music or just others' (often, curators don't even represent an artist; just do this for the love of the thing). Then, emails start to roll in...

💡 A tip for those hoping to grow: Always pitch every song to at least a few bloggers. It might not yield noticeable or immediate results, but in the long run, you'll be glad you did. It's not just for the nostalgia, but also for the SEO and branding you build along the way 📖

It's a wonderful feeling to find traces of your music online, realizing it's been talked about and appreciated. It's proof that you and your song left a mark on time 👣

Imagine this: You're Googling an older song of yours to find its YouTube video more easily (because you're too lazy to click a lot). Suddenly, the Google search returns a lot of results – articles and blog posts from a year or two ago that you might have forgotten about.
