Spotify has partnered with astrologer Chani Nicholas to release 12 new playlists based on each month’s astrological sign. These playlists are designed to align with the zodiac sign and other signs, providing listeners with personalized music recommendations. The playlists are created using algorithms and an interactive quiz, allowing users to find the perfect playlist that aligns with their zodiac sign.
Zodiac Affinity, a Spotify plugin, is designed to create a custom Spotify playlist with songs that align with your zodiac sign and other signs. By logging into your Spotify account on Zodiac Affinity’s website, listeners can access a single drop-down menu of zodiac signs and select the sign that resonates most with them.
The Astrology Club microsite, created by global interactive platform 100 Presents Astrology, offers a unique astrological listening experience for users. Users can find the perfect podcast playlist and unlock their Astrology Club membership card by taking a quiz.
There is usually a playlist for each zodiac sign, but this one might be being worked on. Capricorn, this month’s star sign, is featured in the playlist for Capricorn, while the remaining 11 playlists can be found on Spotify’s Pop Culture page. The playlists have not been updated recently, but the information will be passed on to the right individuals to be looked at.
In summary, Spotify has created a unique astrological listening experience with its “Cosmic Playlists” feature, which features personalized music recommendations for each zodiac sign.
📹 How to Get Playlisted
You’re not just making music for yourself—you want to get heard, which means you want to get on playlists. Here’s a step-by-step …
📹 How to Use Spotify – Beginner’s Guide
How to Use Spotify – Beginner’s Guide Spotify is a music streaming platform with over 50 million songs that you can listen to any …
The majority of the tracks in the editorial playlists are by big artists with strong managements. They release a track spontaneously and it’s immediately on dozens editorial playlists. An independent artist with the same track quality (sometimes even better) submits their track 3 months prior and Spotify doesn’t pick it up. Seems fair, right? It feels discouraging – I wished Spotify would give us, independent artists, more chances to make some money from streaming. Releasing an original costs so much …
Spotify hired ‘fake’ artists to dominate genre specific playlists curated by Spotify. From Ambient to Folk etc. The top artists on these playlists were all imaginary artists, that don’t actually even exist as real artists. But it just means that the royalty streamings from these fake artists would cash in directly to Spotify themselves. This is kind of criminal, but also it takes away the chance for real struggling artists to be in Spotify playlists. So, people, please do not believe everything about this article.
You can absolutely make music for yourself, for any reason and for no reason at all. Sick and tired of these mainstream “influencers” and companies like Spotify acting like they own/know music and art. I can list 5 artists off the top of my head with less than 100 monthly listeners on your platform, but make music that is on another level from whatever mainstream bs you push in your curated lists. These artists make no money because they don’t play these ugly games of over-promotion. We make music for a myriad of reasons, and getting heard is not necessarily one of them, even though it is a byproduct most of us want. Because we want our music to inspire people like others’ music inspires us. So you’re curating playlists, big fucking deal. Congratulations, you’re a listener. Come back when you’ve meticulously created something out of nothing and not just living off others’ hard work and creation.
Unfortunately curators with popular playlists do abuse the system and request payment for features. A handful we have tried to submit to or contacted have told us $200 and they will add our music to their playlist. It is really frustrating spending countless hours trying to obtain contacts for curators to then be told “Pay me”.
So I’ll explain it much more simply and if I help you can pay me back by listening to one of my songs or something. This is how to do it: So basically when you upload a song to your distributor that gets you on Spotify (Distrokid, Tunecore, etc.) you should be able to set a release date. For example, it’s October 1st and you set it to release October 20th. You need to upload your track to your distributor a few weeks in advance. This way Spotify gets your song but doesn’t drop it until your release date (October 20th). Once you have that song up and waiting to be released, and in Spotify’s hands, you can go to your “Spotify for Artists” page (just google that, it’s easy to set up) and follow these steps. 1) Click Music on the top of the page 2) Click Upcoming 3) Submit it from there. It’s that simple. In short, set a long release date with your distributor, go to Spotify for artists, and in Upcoming you will be able to submit it to their team. Any questions, just let me know!
As everyone else has pointed out: Rather than lying and telling us that you can’t pay to get on playlists, why doesn’t Spotify create distinct playlists that are monetary and not monetary. Each would have a kind of marker, so you know which kind you are listening to, and we’ll see how the ecosystem changes.
Planned my release and pitched my song 22 days before release…It did nothing, it just wasted my time! It only proves how shitty and ineffective this system is and how it only works for somewhat already stablished artists and only for certain genres (rap, hip-hop, RN’B, etc, as shown on all articles)…After all, who would care to listen to a heavy metal track right?
It will never happen. Listening to your article and knowing you receive 20 k songs per day, I realized that, statiscally, my songs will never be heard by the editors. How many editors do you have? 15? 100? I imagine they must be “experts” in few genres of music. So if you have 100, maybe 3 or 4 will be able or willing to hear the kind of music I make. How many songs they listen each day? 5? 10? 20? Doing only a rough calculation, you cannot listen to 5% of all the songs you receive. In the article the nice guy said “if your song is not picked by the editors, don’t get disheartened…” (my words, but that was the meaning.) The chance that one of my songs will be heard by anybody is miniscule, and therefore – answering the first question in the article – yes, it seems I make music for myself.
from an independent Musician From Iran: Why you don’t recognize Iranian Music in the Pitch system ?! you even recognize Khaliji music which is fine but are you want to hide the old Iranian culture that is not related to dictator governments? we love Spotify cuz we could share our creativity without any religious censorship that dictators want. we appreciate your platform at the same time, we request that plz add Iranian music to your Pitching playlist Systems.
For anyone who uses SFA to submit to editorial playlists it almost feels like a waste of effort, no feedback that an actual human editor has even listened to the song, not least made any judgement. Spotify offers no useful information specifically on what to include in pitches either – should I be including my streaming numbers? Any promotional activity specifically? What do editors want to know about the song itself? At the end of the day my gut feeling is the editor looks at your listener count before they can be even arsed giving it a listen. Options to highlight specific editorial playlists to focus on would be a boost too. Eagerly awaiting Spotify’s automated reply. 😌
Yeah, it’s all bullshit really. I’ve been releasing music for 3 years, I’ve played festivals and supported internationally renowned artists as well as receiving media attention from the music press in my country, yet I’ve never made it onto a single editorial playlist. It’s a total racket, but ya just gotta keep positive because Spotify isn’t the only avenue
Great Information!! The most important things to understand is patience and persistent is critical. This article hits key topics from Spotify directly, like “Not paying to get onto playlist”, “How to properly submit a track”, “using hashtags” and this helps alot because too often people want a “homecooked” result from a “microwave” meal. Thank you Spotify 🙂

I am a 65 year old bar musician that is not very tech savvy. I’m in my car a lot and want to listen to good music so I wanted to download the Spotify app and give it a try. There’s a lot going on in the app and was reluctant to dive into it but after perusal your article I decided why not. Thank you for a very easy to watch and informitive article!
4:38 Here you go into the songs list, and I noticed a number below the song title. I assume that is the number of times the track has been played in Spotify, correct? Also, does that number represent a time frame, like “number of times played in the last month?”, “… last year?” or like since the track was added to Spotify?
8:00 This is the 3rd article I am perusal on Spotify use and NOBODY is talking about this: If you hit NEXT and you’re listening to someone else’s playlist (I’m assuming Spotify lets you find random playlists in search… you never mentioned this for some reason) – here’s the question – When you hit NEXT song, why does it play a random ass song?? 3rd article – no one is mentioning this huge pain in the ass feature! Paid version too.
Thank you for this … it’s very helpful. HOWEVER, I’ve been looking for several days to find a way to actually shut Spotify off or close the app. I started a song, and I can pause it but I can’t seem to find the shut down control. I’ve even tried restarting my phone or shutting off completely. When the phone starts up again, the song is still sitting there … on pause … waiting to start up again. I’m sure it’s using battery, and I’m really at the point of deleting the app to get rid of this frustration. Can you help me learn this???
It has now been updated and even more difficult to understand. After searching for songs or artists, it doesn’t show the list of songs or tracks the artists have or show the list of tracks you searched for. Even when you clicked on shuffle play, it also hid out the skip backwards, just only the next option that was given. Or was it because I’m on the free version? I should be able to test out the options before subscribing 😅
Too many ads, TRASH. you’ll get “30 minutes add free” once in a while, then non skippable ads 30 seconds to 130 long every 2 to 3 songs. And the ads are too loud. If you start with an ad and adjust your volume, the song is too low. Pathetically greedy. They will hide the lyrics and replace them with an ad. When you check the lyrics, you get an ad pop up. It feels like 1/3 ads. Just make a playlist on YouTube. You can skip ads here. Imagine yotube having 1:30 unskippable ads every 3 to 5 minutes 🤑🤢🤮
I’d like to see something like this for those of us that want to use Spotify via a web browser. Most of what you showed isn’t there for me. All I get is a very limited number of what I assume are popular songs that are of no interest to me. I’m interested in how Spotify can introduce me to new music.
Btw if you don’t have Spotify Premium and you hate that Spotify plays random songs and “adds” songs to your playlists then you need to add more songs to said playlist. If you have enough songs in that playlist then Spotify will not add more songs to play. I don’t have a specific number but I have noticed that.
I pay for Spotify and use it on my Android. The problem I’m having is that when I add songs to my playlist, using the directions in this article, they don’t show up on the list of songs in that playlist. When I try to add them again, it says they’re already added. But the song titles don’t appear. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix this?
Very clear instructions. Finally, I had to give up my i-Pod Classic, which I loved (i-tunes w/ Windows 11 no sync, a mess). I have a question. Can one select a (and all its songs) from a given artist, and be able to “save” to play the whole album. Just placing a “heart” (love) check song, by song is rather tedious. I almost always for get the name of the song, but not the album it is in or the artist. Guess I would have to play and see. The sound quality and loudness over an i-phone (not Apple i-phone) is a question mark.
Obviously, spotify has some issues. Looking down through the comments, 8 of the 1st 10 are folks as frustrated as me. I just uninstalled spotify from my phone for the 3rd different time in 2 months. It just takes over my phone. It literally will not quit playing. You close out of the app completely, and it’s still playing. Yes, I’ve gone through the settings and turned everything off like it should be. I don’t blame rogan at all for taking the cash . I was so excited when I 1st downloaded spotify because he moved there, and I saw the endless possibilities for music lists. Being that I literally have over 800 songs saved on my YouTube app. Obviously, spotify could have been the app for me. but I just can’t take it any more. Fom now on when rogan’s got an episode that I just have to see. I’m gonna install then uninstall to watch the one episode. I am so over it !
Hey can anybody out there please help me? I just got my phone upgraded as a combination birthday/Christmas present, and the Spotify app was on my new phone. I just logged out but now I’m having a very hard difficult time trying to log back in, as though some troll had hacked into my account and changed the password 😠 So, can anybody out there please help me on what to do?
spotify was working for me yesterday, but i downloaded some bad software and it messed up my pc.i had to do a system restore to get my internet to work again and i had to reinstall chrome because it wouldnt open, and spotify would only play a song 1 or 2 seconds then shut it off.i tried uninstalling spotify and reinstalling it, but it didn’t help, it still only plays a song for like 1 or 2 seconds. and i did a clean uninstall too.made sure no spotify folders were left on my pc.
One thing I like is you’re right I have a SmartPhone I have a tablet if I add something to my smartphone on Spotify via my tablet it goes right to the cell phone it don’t go there 12 seconds later one second later it goes there immediately which is a lot better than SoundCloud and all the other ones especially Pandora
You have to go to youtube to get articles and certain remixes and slows. Music on youtube might not be on spotify and vise versa. Tons of music isn’t there and is constantly removed etc.. I would love a definitive place and other did too.. “it is mine” USA. We know the internet is all his. It was made with Canada ai.
I hate how overhyped spotify be when the mechanics is garbage af. Yhis is why Souncloud is 100% better and if you have problems with long ads, you can make a link to a song and post it in notes or something press your favorite song link and itll remove the ads of that article and you can repeat the process if you rarely get an ad again
I just use it for a little music in the morning to get my day started, the only complaint I have is, well I know they need ads, but it is a bit annoying when you are listening to a great song and then it is cut off right in the middle and you are blasted out by a loud ad, why can’t they wait until the song ends, then play the ads ?
Did they remove the ability to add partial albums to your library? You can only follow an entire Artists discography, add single songs to a “liked” playlist, and create playlists. For this one reason I had to subscribe to Apple Music instead. It’s SO simple and I’m so frustrated they removed this feature. Unless I’m wrong? I don’t want to add single songs to playlists, I just want to be able to add partial albums to my library. Heck even just one or two albums, not the whole discography.
I’m newbie in this app Spotify. I want to know how to get ride off the “premium” cause that word is scary, look like I’m must to paid in spotify? I just want to use for free user without any payment. I don’t have any money. Pleaseeeee let me know this Spotify is for free without any payment.?? And how??
I personally used to like to go to their suggested playlists like “Discover Weekly”, “Daily Mix #” and “Release Radar”. I like new music but I made the mistake of liking a “religious” song, just once, and now all those suggestions are more religious than Rock/Blues/Alt etc. I deleted that liked song to no avail. For the life of me I can’t get those religious suggestions out of their suggestions.
Step one: buy premium. Step two: Now understand why everyone hates premium after they have it for a few months. Spotify doesn’t care about the customer; just money. You’ll see. Or just read reviews. You can see they have almost 5 stars. But if you read the reviews, you’ll see the majority of customers are angry. Amazon music isn’t based in the states either. Good luck talking to someone. If I save one person from this financial pos; mission accomplished. They were REALLY good in 2017-2019. Seems they opted to put all their money in ads for podcasts instead of keeping it ad free like in the beginning. In the end, another will come along and do it right. Spotify will be the next XM radio. Finally, do I have premium? YOU BET! That’s how I can tell you it’s terrible after a while. Go free, watch for ANY data collection, carry on.
Amazon, Apple Music, and Qobuz deliver up to 100% of the music today and it sounds a lot better than the shitty degraded and neutered sound of Spotify, If you support Spotify, you are destroying an art form. Business over art. Spotify plays the artist’s music at 5% of its quality and it charges you like it was the real thing. … Spotify is ripping you off and has been since day 1. No goosebumps from Spotify Sound!”
THIS GUY IS SO GREAT AT EXPLAINING ALL SORTS OF THINGS – GREAT YOUTUBE TO FOLLOW TRUST ME! I AM 60 YEARS, SO ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP TO KEEP UP WITH TECH, AND LIKE ME COMES FROM A TIME THERE WAS NO INTERNET – THIS GUY IS YOUR MAN!!!!!!! 100% PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATOR FOR ANYONE’S “LEVEL”, PAUL & ACORN ACADEMY
i have had premium spotiify for awhile and the one thing that quit working for me,which before you down load a song, you have the option to listen a small part of the song,approx 5 seconds,which was great,but for some reason that quit working for me, any suggestions ?it quit on my phone and iPad etc
