How to Make Sure Your Spotify Wrapped Doesn’t Suck This Year (For Artists)

Every December, Spotify Wrapped takes over the internet. Fans share their top artists, songs, and genres. For artists, it’s not just a fun recap, it’s a public scoreboard of your year.

If your Spotify Wrapped doesn’t look the way you want, it can feel discouraging. But here’s the good news: you still have time to turn things around.

With the right strategy, you can boost your streams, grow your audience, and make this year’s Wrapped something you’re proud to post.

So how to make sure your Spotify Wrapped doesn’t suck this year?

1. Optimize Your Artist Profile

Before you even think about promo, make sure your Spotify for Artists profile is fully set up.

Add:

• A professional profile picture and banner

• A compelling bio

• Links to your socials

• Updated concert dates (if relevant)

Think of your profile as your storefront, it should look inviting to new listeners.

2. Pitch Every Release

Spotify gives you the option to submit unreleased tracks to their editorial team through Spotify for Artists. Always take advantage of this. Even if you don’t land a big editorial playlist, pitching ensures your followers will see your new release in their Release Radar.

4. Leverage Playlists (This Is the Big One)

Playlists are the #1 way artists break out on Spotify. Getting placed in the right playlists can expose your music to thousands of new listeners overnight.

Here’s the catch: landing playlist placements organically is tough. Curators get hundreds of submissions daily, and most artists don’t have the time to network with playlist owners all day.

That’s where PlaylistGrow comes in. We connect your music with real playlist curators to help you get placed on active, targeted playlists, no bots, no fake streams. Just real listeners.

👉 With PlaylistGrow, you can start growing your streams for as little as $1/day.

5. Build Outside of Spotify

Spotify doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The more you promote your music on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, the more chances you have of driving real people to your songs. Viral clips and short-form content can push thousands of new ears to your Spotify profile.

6. Watch Your Data

Don’t wait until December to know how you’re doing. Use Spotify for Artists to track your growth:

• Which playlists are driving the most streams

• Where your listeners are located

• Which songs are connecting best

Double down on what’s working, and adjust what isn’t.

Final Thoughts

Spotify Wrapped is your chance to show the world how far you’ve come as an artist.
