Why Playlisting Still Matters in 2026

In the ever-evolving music industry, one thing remains constant: getting your music heard is key to success. While social media platforms and viral trends come and go, playlisting services and pitching to curators continue to be a foundational strategy.

Curators build loyal followings over time. Their listeners trust their taste and actively engage with the music they feature. Getting your song on a well-followed playlist can generate repeat listens, follows, and even viral word-of-mouth.

Spotify's algorithm monitors how users interact with your song. If your track performs well with low skip rate and high saves, it's more likely to be picked up by algorithmic playlists like Discover Weekly and Release Radar.
