How the curator finder works
Every card above is a real row from our playlist curator database. We pull the sample live when you pick a genre, so you see the same followers, genres and inbox types you get in the file. The only thing hidden is the email: you see the first letter and the domain, which already tells you a lot. A curator on a custom domain usually runs a small brand or a label playlist. A curator on Gmail is usually one person who listens to every submission.
The database holds 674 curators. Hip-hop and trap has 159 curators, indie and rock 116 and pop 106. Counts on the chips update every day.
What a good curator looks like
Followers are a start, not the answer. A playlist with 5k followers that updates every week can send more real listeners than a 100k playlist nobody opens. Before you pitch, open the playlist and check three things: when it was last updated, whether the tracks fit your sound, and whether the artists on it look like real artists with their own fans.
Be careful with playlists that grew fast and have no history, or that only list tracks from one distributor or one country. Those are often bot farms. Never pay for a guaranteed placement. Fake streams can get your track removed and hurt your profile for months.
How to pitch a Spotify playlist curator
Keep the email short. Subject line: your artist name, track title and genre. First line: why this playlist, with one track from it you like. Second line: one sentence about the song and the release date. Then the Spotify link. No attachments, no long bio.
Pitch two to three weeks before release when you can, so the curator has time to listen. Send to curators one by one, not in a group email. Follow up once after a week. If they add the track, thank them and share the playlist on your socials. That is how you get the next add.
Free preview vs the full list
The preview shows up to six curators per genre. The full file has every curator we have for that genre, with the full email, follower count, number of playlists, playlist names and inbox type, plus the date each email last passed verification. You can buy one genre or all of them, or get a fresh file every month with the Genre Pass.
