Playlisting Is a Reputation Game
Curators don't bet on songs. They bet on artists who make their playlist look smarter.
Independent artists pitching playlists usually focus on the song. Curators pitching their own audience focus on themselves. The placement happens when the song makes the playlist look smarter than it did yesterday.
That means context matters more than quality. A great song that doesn't fit gets passed for a good song that does. Pitch to playlists where you can name the three songs your track would sit between.
Build a relationship before you need one. Follow the curator, listen to the playlist regularly, share it when it genuinely moves you. Curators notice the artists who treat them as humans.
