This is prime real estate and it should be utilized to show the type of artist you are and the type of music you release. When you start releasing music and set up your Spotify for Artists account, you need to take this seriously. In order to help Spotify understand new artists and what related artists to suggest, we have to feed data to Spotify. There are loads of ways to beat the Spotify algorithm as an artist but it's important to know that 'fans also like' is another part of Spotify that is determined by its algorithm. Getting your top songs featured on 'Discover Weekly', 'Release Radar' or other great Spotify playlists only happens once Spotify's algorithm knows enough about you for a chance at playlist placements. The more data, the easier it is for Spotify's algorithm to figure out you, your music, and your audience in order to place your music in the correct playlists and more.įor example, getting your music playlisted only happens when Spotify understands everything about your new music and your fan base. The more people that listen to your songs, the more data is collected. Spotify brings in data and makes decisions based on that data. The job of the Spotify algorithm is to keep Spotify listeners on the platform for as long as possible by recommending music that is most relevant & engaging to the user. The Spotify algorithm is named BaRT, which means Bandits for Recommendations as Treatments.

You have to understand that the Spotify algorithm has no opinion. Spotify, just like any social media platform uses an algorithm.
