How to get on Spotify’s algorithmic playlists

Discover how Release Radar and Discover Weekly work, why they’re crucial for artists, and the steps you can take to boost your chances of being featured.

How Spotify’s algorithmic playlists work

Release Radar: reach your followers first

Every time you drop a new track, your followers receive it in their personalized Release Radar playlist. Consistent releases keep you in front of your audience week after week.

Discover Weekly: expand to new listeners

Discover Weekly recommends music to users based on their taste and listening behavior. High saves, shares, and engagement on your track increase the chance of Spotify recommending it to new fans.

Engagement is the key

Spotify’s algorithm favors songs with strong early performance. Encourage fans to save, share, and listen repeatedly. Features from playlist curators and blogs can amplify these signals, boosting your shot at algorithmic playlists.

Spotify algorithmic playlists explained

Algorithmic playlists are automatically generated by Spotify’s recommendation system. The two most important for artists are Release Radar (delivers new music to your followers) and Discover Weekly (introduces your music to new listeners based on taste profiles).


Turn algorithmic signals into real results

Spotify’s algorithm rewards songs that generate early engagement — saves, playlist adds, and shares. But standing out isn’t easy if your track only reaches your existing followers.

With Groover, you can send your music directly to playlist curators, music blogs, and industry professionals. Every feature and playlist add you earn drives more streams and engagement — exactly the signals Spotify’s algorithm needs to push your track onto Release Radar and Discover Weekly.
