Why Spotify
More listeners, more discovery tools, more royalties — Spotify is where your audience lives.
600M+ monthly listeners across 180+ markets. Spotify is available on virtually every device and platform, making it the most accessible store for fans worldwide.
Spotify's editorial and algorithmic playlists — Discover Weekly, Release Radar, New Music Friday — put your music in front of listeners who've never heard of you. No other platform does discovery like Spotify.
Spotify for Artists gives you real-time stream data, audience demographics, Canvas video loops, playlist pitching, and the ability to manage your public artist profile — all for free.
Included with Catapult
Catapult gives you instant access to Spotify for Artists the moment your release goes live. Here's what that unlocks.
No waiting, no verification delays. The moment your release is distributed via Catapult, you get instant access to Spotify for Artists — giving you your real-time dashboard right out of the gate.
Already on Spotify? Provide your Spotify Artist URL when submitting and your new release maps directly to your existing artist profile. Starting fresh? We create and claim it for you. Either way, all your music stays together under one artist page.
Spotify for Artists lets you pitch unreleased tracks directly to Spotify's editorial team for playlist consideration — New Music Friday, genre playlists, and more. You need to submit at least 7 days before release, which is why we recommend distributing early.
Add looping Canvas videos (3–8 seconds) to your tracks that play while listeners stream your music on mobile. Update your artist bio, photos, and pick an Artist Pick — all from within Spotify for Artists.
Track streams, listeners, saves, and playlist adds in real time. Break down your audience by city, age, and gender. See which playlists are driving your streams and how your music is discovered — algorithmic, editorial, or listener-driven.
Spotify pays out monthly. Catapult collects your Spotify royalties automatically and deposits them into your account — no requests, no chasing invoices. Payment methods include ACH, Wire, PayPal, Venmo, and international transfers.
