Where to review

Go to Dashboard and switch from Artists to Curators. Incoming submissions are listed per playlist.

Accepting a song

When you accept a submission, the song is added automatically to the bottom of your playlist on Spotify. You can then move it to any position. The artist is notified by email and on their dashboard.

Declining a song

For Standard submissions, use Decline with feedback to tell the artist why. Short, honest feedback helps artists improve.

Review times

  • Standard submissions: you have 21 days to review.

  • Premium submissions: you have 7 days. After that, the credit goes back to the artist and you cannot earn from that submission.

Thank artists automatically

In Settings you can add a custom message and your social links. They are sent to artists together with the "approved" notification.

Rules

Your message must not include promotions, requests for payment or conditions for placement. Breaking this rule can lead to a ban.

Premium Curators

  • You can switch off Standard submissions for a playlist in the playlist tab of your dashboard.

  • Going away? Turn on vacation mode in Settings to pause new Premium submissions.

  • Tiers, earnings and payouts: see 1.2 Curator tiers, earnings and payouts.
