10 Free Submission Sites To Get on Spotify Playlists

Music blogs and Spotify playlists have become one of the top ways for artists to get their music out to a larger audience. The difficult part for many independent artists is the cost of submitting music and knowing which playlists to submit to. In this post we are here to help you by showing you some of the best free music submission blogs to help you get your music out there.

This post will be broken down into three sections.

  1. What are submission sites and how do they work?

  2. Which are the top submission sites?

  3. Tips for Success


What are submission sites?


Music submission sites are websites, most often blogs, that are focused on reviewing and sharing new music. You can find sites that are specific to genres, while others are open to all types of music. These sites range from paid services to free submission services. Sometimes the site offers the option to submit your music for free, or to pay for additional guaranteed services. The additional services you pay for often include a guaranteed listen, feedback, and more.

The submission process is different for each site. Some request that you email your submission to them or fill-out an online form while others use SubmitHub. If you want to learn more about SubmitHub be sure to check out our previous post to learn everything you need to know.

As mentioned before, many sites do request payment for music submissions but at Neon Collective we like to make things easy for you so we have compiled a list of the top 10 free submission websites so you don’t have to go searching!
