Premium Curators review paid Premium Submissions from artists and earn money for every review. Here is what you need to qualify and how to apply.

What you need

  • Real curation. The playlist is managed by real people. This can be a named person or a brand built on purpose, but not a spam or generic account.

  • Size. At least 1,000 followers on the playlist.

  • Streams. Proof that the playlist drives real listening (see below).

  • Integrity. The playlist is free of bots and its followers grow naturally.

How to prove your streams

We accept any one of the following:

  • A Spotify for Artists screenshot from an artist featured on your playlist.

  • A report from artist.tools, Chartmetric or Soundcharts.

  • A curator profile with listener data on Groover or SubmitHub.

If we need more information, we will contact you by email.

Conditions after approval

  • Tracks you accept from Premium Submissions stay on your playlist for a minimum period. We confirm this period when you are approved.

  • If you mainly promote your own music, keep it to about 30% of each playlist.

How to apply

Fill out the application form: Apply to become a Premium Curator.

What happens next?

Approved curators are onboarded in batches every two weeks, on Mondays (Pacific Time). You will receive an email with your activation date and everything you need to get started.

Not there yet?

You can still join DailyPlaylists as a curator and review Standard Submissions with a playlist of at least 100 followers and 30 tracks. Grow your playlist and apply again once you meet the requirements above.
