The Best Way To Get On Playlists - PlaylistSupply Review

Spotify playlists are the tools we use to discover new music nowadays. With over 4 billion user-curated playlists on the platform, you already understand & see the point how important playlist marketing is, and all the opportunities it offers for artists.

The next problem people usually deal with is: Finding the perfect playlist for their release and getting on those playlists that can bring new people to listen to their releases. This is a huge & time consuming process (a.k.a. the boring part of being in the music business).

This is where PlaylistSupply steps in and changes the game!

The topics we're going to cover:

1. What is PlaylistSupply?
2. How To Use Playlist Supply?
3. Features
4. PlaylistSupply Pricing
5. How Credits Work

6. Pros and Cons
7. Our Brutally Honest Thoughts

1. What Is PlaylistSupply

PlaylistSupply is an innovative tool using a revolutionary software that helps various artists to find the perfect playlists for their releases. But, not only that... it helps find curators' contact info and many useful playlist data in a very short period of time.

Have in mind that Playlist Supply is not a "Spotify playlist promotion" service or something like that. That means it doesn't feature a playlist network of its own playlists to which you can pitch and get your music on (those type of playlists are usually full with bots, and you don't want your music anywhere close to those playlists). Playlist Supply helps you create your own list of independent playlists in a very short amount of time, within minutes, which is why it's famous for.

Keep in mind another thing. Playlist Supply is also not a marketing tool/service that'll do all the work for you. It's a tool that helps you run your own marketing campaigns.

2. How To Use PlaylistSupply

Believe me or not, Playlist Supply is probably one of the simpliest online tools to use. You can access it any time you want, and within minutes you can find the perfect playlists & curators' info for contacting purposes.

As I said, it's super straight-forward. You basically type in any keyword based on the playlist you're looking to find and get results based on the criteria you selected.

Once you're done with searching & have all the necessary results you looked for, you can export the list as a CSV, PDF or Excel file, or save it to your playlist database which is located at the same platform (Playlist Supply).

Not only Playlist Supply is easy to use, but you also have tons of features, so let's cover all of them!

3. Features

Keyword Search

You can type in anything! Get creative with your searches to find the most results and niche results that may still need to be discovered! Finding the right keywords and searching within your niche is the most effective. (Country, City, Language, Emotion, Location, Workout, Trends, Tiktok, Associated Acts, Similar Artists, etc.) 

Criteria

Choose what type of search you want. Whether Emails or Social Handles. Also, the Similar Artist function lets you search by artist or band name.

Searching for “Email” Criteria is the most standard for popular genres or any keywords. We suggest everyone start here!

Data Points

Once you have listed results, you will see useful data point columns that show the followers, tracks, the date it was last modified, popularity score, owner name and all the necessary contact info for each playlist.

Popularity score:  A score of how big or small artists are within the playlist. Closer to 0 is a playlist that features small, lesser-known artists. Towards 100 is a playlist that features all the most mainstream or popular artists.

Features like popularity score & last modified will let you know if contacting a playlist is worth your time or not. If the playlist isn't active, why would you contact it in the first place? Exactly, no point. That's why Playlist Supply helps you to find active playlists you can contact & potentially get your songs on.

Export Features

Exporting feature allows you to export the playlists you selected to a CSV, Excel or PDF file. This helps a lot when you want to organize everything and keep in order. Playlist Supply recommends to run multiple searches with different keywords and then combine exports in a single spreadsheet. That allows you to filter your results or mark curators you already contacted.

Playlist Directory & Update Function

You can select and Save Playlists to your Directory within the platform. You are then able to “Update” the Directory to monitor each individual playlist activity over time. This is a HUGE feature, and we like to emphasize how important this can be for separating quality playlists from the lot. If you add playlists and update them, you can see exactly how their data changes. (e.g., detect changes in followers or changes in contact info, etc.).

This feature is highly important since you can easily spot the bot playlists. If you see playlist followers going from 0 - 1000 or even more in a single day, there's a high chance of it being scam playlist. That means you should highly stay away from it.

Organic Playlist Search

This is their exciting new feature that's not really available anywhere else on the internet. It's super helpful & extremely effective for organic growth. When you select "organic search" and type in an artist's name, the tool goes to the artist's "Discovered On" section and extracts all necessary data.

Organic Playlist searches are a way PlaylistSupply specifically indexes Spotify’s
high-quality “Discovered On” playlists, which are the high traffic playlists and are a
top source for artist discovery. This “Discovered On” targeting is a game-changer for artists and managers pitching to Spotify Playlist owners without wasting time and money on low-performing playlists.

This feature helps you to directly target "Discovered On" playlists and start the music pitching process with the most effective playlists. Every single artist should definitely use this feature!

4. PlaylistSupply Pricing

PlaylistSupply features 4 types of memberships. Keep in mind that all options come with the standard Playlist Supply Data Tool with which you can search unlimited playlists and curators.
The feature that separates each tier from the other is the level of access you have to the "Organic Playlist Search" feature. They did this type of separation since this feature is extremely valuable to artists, their managers and also record labels. Basic plan doesn't give you any credit to use the feature, but you can get more credits for organic search with greater tiers.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you have to first sign up for the "Basic Tool" to access higher tiers.
Now, let's break down each tier.

6. Pros AND Cons

Pros

  • Unlimited searching & flexibility: Most of the other services only allow you to reach a limited network of playlists. That's not the case with PlaylistSupply. Using PlaylistSupply, you can access an unlimited number of playlists for a very, very reasonable monthly fee.
  • Highly affordable: This company keeps their price lower to make it affordable for anyone. Other services charge a lot more for a single campaign. Starting with $19.99/month, PlaylistSupply is just insanely affordable. Also, you can cancel your subscription at any time, which we're sure you won't. That's how good PlaylistSupply is.
  • Not limited to certain genres: When you type in a keyword, the tool searches across all of Spotify, not only genre specific. Even if your releases are in a niche genre, you can be sure it'll find the most relevant playlists for you with the right keywords.
  • Extremely easy to use: PlaylistSupply doesn't feature some confusing options/buttons or way too many features you don't really need. It's extremely easy to understand and get started within minutes.
  • Responsible & Supportive Customer Service: Their team is always available for any questions or a demo call. They also offer screen share to show you the best practices for using the tool and get the most out of it.

Cons

  • None really: Personally, we didn't find any cons yet, and we believe we won't be able to find any. Again, we're not new users. We're using PlaylistSupply, and it really does an amazing job.

7. Our Brutally Honest Thoughts

As their long-time users, our studio can definitely recommend using PlaylistSupply, and we confirm it's a 100% legit company with an incredibly passionate team behind everything they stand up for. Usually, companies aren't really happy to do demo calls and explain more about what they offer, but that's not the case with PlaylistSupply. The main thing our studio looks for when we're working with a company is how they approach the conversation and what they actually say. PlaylistSupply's team is highly professional and they know their stuff, no questions about it.
With all of that being said, again, we highly recommend trying PlaylistSupply.

8. Q&A with PlaylistSupply

Q1How did you come up with the PlaylistSupply idea and why did you start this project?

A: PlaylistSupply originated from a need within the music industry to simplify Spotify playlist promotion and marketing. It began as a tool created by a team of artists, managers, and booking agents who needed a more accessible and effective way for indie artists to get on Spotify playlists. Eventually PlaylistSupply became a go to for major record labels as well who were looking to search curator contacts, data, and metrics to better conduct Spotify marketing campaigns. Initially, we were manually searching for contact information and reaching out to playlist curators individually and developed a software tool to automate the entire process, providing valuable playlist data and contact information. The tool's success led to its online availability empowering independent artists and music professionals to boost their playlist outreach. PlaylistSupply was the first Spotify Playlist Search Engine on the market and in the years since its inception has been copied and replicated but never replaced. PlaylistSupply still offers the most cutting edge features and the most robust support system for artists looking to make progress with their music streaming.
Q2: Why is PlaylistSupply different from other playlisting services online?

A: PlaylistSupply stands out from other online playlisting services due to its unique combination of features. It offers a comprehensive research solution for artists and music professionals looking to promote their music on Spotify. PlaylistSupply not only streamlines the process of discovering and researching playlist curators but also provides valuable playlist data and analytics, enabling users to make informed decisions on the playlists they are reaching out to. Additionally, its affordability and accessibility make it an ideal choice for indie artists and smaller budgets. PlaylistSupply also allows you to target Discovered On playlists and save the playlists to a personal database. No other playlist marketing tool offers features like these or even comes close. Most rely on a limited database of expired information while PlaylistSupply remains as one of the only real-time search engines, accurately getting up-to-date playlist contact and metrics in just a few clicks.
Q3: What are the future plans for PlaylistSupply?

A: PlaylistSupply is continually evolving to meet the changing needs of the music industry and the playlist playing field. One exciting upcoming feature is the ability to vet a playlist, allowing artists to make a more informed decision on the playlist they want to reach out to, and directly promote their music to these influential playlists. Additionally, PlaylistSupply plans to release updates that enhance the efficiency of finding, connecting, and vetting playlists.. These updates, combined with the power of data analytics, will further simplify playlisting, making it even more accessible for artists and managers. The overarching goal is to continue developing software tools that empower music professionals and solve industry challenges.
Now, once you heard from PlaylistSupply team, with all of that being said, again, Md3sign Studio highly recommends trying PlaylistSupply. Such an amazing idea, concept & company!
