We are proud to state that our play-listing practices fall 100% in line with Spotify’s Terms of Service.
The Spotify Terms of Service (TOS) state that no artist can pay for their song to be put on a specific playlist.
This is why it’s dangerous to use non-established & sketchy companies who are more than willing to break this iron-clad rule, and risk your music getting taken down off of Spotify.
That’s why it’s our #1 priority to operate 100% within Spotify’s Terms of Service. For two reasons: to protect you as an artist, and secondly so we can uphold our reputation as the best boutique Spotify play-listing option anywhere in the world.
Here’s how we ethically work on your behalf to promote your music:
We are structured as a Spotify Promotion Agency and when you check out, you are hiring our services, expertise, and friendly team to reach the desired campaign goal. Your money is NOT sent to ANY playlister once you hit the checkout button.
The type of campaign we run is simply an influencer marketing campaign which is not against Spotify's Terms of Service because it's a legitimate form of marketing.
On the other hand, paying a playlister directly in exchange for a spot is considered “Streaming Manipulation” in Spotify’s TOS. We do not do this and we NEVER recommend paying a playlister directly for a spot on a playlist.
When promoting your song, we don't solicit any particular playlist or give any guarantee that you'll get a placement upon payment. Instead what we do is reach out to influencers who (independently from our desires) decide if they want to push the song to their audience. Once we share a song, it is completely up to them if they want to include it in a playlist they own (they can reject any song we show and often do). It's the same exact process as SubmitHub & Playlist push who also operate within Spotify's TOS with a similar “agency structure.”
We don't guarantee streams for any artist simply through purchasing a package. There is an approval process once you checkout and we refund artists who supply poor quality songs and recordings.
However, what we do guarantee is that if we feel we can meet the “guaranteed number of streams,” we will continue to pitch to influencers until we've hit the desired goal.
So the guarantee is a satisfaction guarantee on our end once you're approved, not a guarantee of results on your end as an artist.
