SPOTIFY PROMO CARDS

Spotify has a new tool that lets you create custom assets for your songs, albums, and artist profile that you can share on social media. In this era of streaming music and social media, artists have more ways to connect with fans than ever before. But more platforms for promotion can mean more work for the modern artist. You’re not just a singer, rapper, producer, or band anymore — you're a DIY brand. You’re more than a musician, you’re also a marketer, creative director, curator, and even an amateur graphic designer. At Spotify for Artists, we want to help make your job(s) easier when it comes to creating eye-catching shareable social media assets to help you grow your audience and celebrate wins like getting playlisted.

release rules REGARDING EP’s for iTunes / Apple Music

Apple Music have changed their rules and have stated Releases with 1-3 tracks under 30 minutes in length are considered Singles on iTunes and not EP’s. Officially this is correct but over the years the “Rule” has changed a little but Apple are now trying to put things right again. So from now on releases with 3 tracks under 30 minutes will not be classed as an EP but as a 3 track single on all stores.

spotify enforcement penalty fees and how can they affect you?

In an ongoing effort to ensure the integrity of content on their platforms, many DSPs are updating their review and education processes related to improper activity, including Artificial Streaming. The measures being implemented vary by individual DSP, but primarily are aimed at disincentivizing artificial streaming, as well as imposing penalties on the responsible parties. The intention is to meaningfully deter bad actors that attempt to divert money from honest, hard-working artists like you. Our streaming partners, like Spotify, work diligently to ensure streams on their platforms are legitimate, meaning they reflect genuine user listening intent so that the proper content providers are credited and compensated for their hard work. If a service finds that you directly (or indirectly through a third party hired by you or on your behalf) have boosted play counts through any automated, deceptive, fraudulent or other invalid means (digital bots, “click farms”, payment for placement on playlists, etc.), the service has the right to remove the streams from play counts and royalties, and permanently remove your entire catalog, among other remedies available to DSPs. If you are in the market for a music promotion service, make sure to do your research before you hire them. Following are links to two helpful articles provided by Spotify on this topic:
