Why Upload Music to Spotify?

A. Some Fast Facts about Spotify

Uploading your music to Spotify opens up your work to over 320 million active users across 92 countries, including nearly 150 million paid subscribers. As the market leader since its launch in 2008, Spotify offers artists a vast audience to reach.

B. How to Upload Songs on Spotify?

To upload your songs to Spotify, you’ll need a Wiseband artist or premium account. This ensures your music is available on the largest music streaming platform. Spotify users fall into two categories:

  1. Free subscribers – Users who listen with ads.
  2. Premium subscribers – Ad-free experience and offline playback capability.

No matter the type of subscriber, uploading your music to Spotify means you earn money every time someone streams your songs. You can distribute and share your single, EP, or album with Wiseband on all download and streaming services. As the world’s leading music streaming service, Spotify offers a wide selection of tracks from both indie and major labels.

C. How to Distribute Your Songs on Spotify?

To distribute your songs on Spotify and other platforms, you’ll need a music distribution service like Wiseband. They handle the delivery of your tracks to your selected platforms. It’s important to note that independent artists or labels cannot directly upload music to Spotify themselves; a distributor must do this for them.

With Wiseband, you can focus solely on creating music while they manage the distribution process. If you have any questions, you can contact Wiseband support at contact@wiseband.com.

D. What Technical Requirements Have to Be Met?

To get your music on Spotify through Wiseband, follow these steps:

  2. Upload your music (single, EP, or album).
  3. Select the platforms you want your music to be available on.

It’s best to prepare your release on Wiseband early. Your music will typically appear on Spotify within 48 hours, but it can take up to two weeks for other platforms.
