How to Get Featured on Audiomack Playlists
Getting featured on an Audiomack playlist or the trending chart puts your track in front of listeners who weren't specifically searching for you, and it's one of the few growth channels that runs directly through Audiomack's own official submission tools rather than external promotion. This guide covers the actual process, in order.
Claim and verify your profile first
Before you can submit anything, your profile needs to be claimed and verified. Claim it by messaging Audiomack's official Instagram account, @audiomackartist, with your profile URL, distributor details, and contact email. Verification unlocks the Creator Dashboard, advanced analytics, direct messaging tools, and the submission features covered below, so this step isn't optional, it's the gate everything else sits behind.
Understand the trending submission window
Only music uploaded within the last 4 weeks is eligible for trending consideration. This is a hard cutoff, so submitting a track that's been up for two months won't get considered for trending no matter how good it is. Upload early, and make sure your audio files are high quality, WAVs or quality MP3s, since a submission with weak audio quality is an easy pass for a curator reviewing dozens of tracks.
Submit through your Creator Dashboard
Once your track is uploaded and eligible, access your Creator Dashboard through your profile picture on desktop or through the Creator App. Navigate to Manage Content to see your eligible releases, and click "Submit to Trending" next to the track you want considered. Fill in genre tags and mood descriptors as accurately as possible, this is what actually routes your submission to the right curator or editor, and a mistagged submission can land with someone who isn't looking for your genre at all.
Get your cover art and metadata right
Curators are reviewing a high volume of submissions, and a track with crisp, correctly sized cover art (3000x3000px) and complete social links attached to the profile reads as more professional and more worth a closer look than one with placeholder or missing details.
Build momentum before you submit, not after
Curators pay attention to organic engagement signals, favorites, playlist adds, and supporter activity, when deciding what to feature. Use Audiomack's built-in message-to-followers tool to announce your release timing ahead of the actual drop, and encourage your existing audience to engage with the track early. A submission that already shows some organic pull is a stronger case than one with zero engagement at the point of submission.
Match your submission to what the genre actually calls for
Different genres get evaluated differently by curators. Hip-hop submissions are expected to meet a commercial standard of audio quality, and describing your scene or local context in the track description helps. Afrobeats submissions do better with strong sub-bass and percussion mixed in, and using the correct, specific genre tags matters for landing on the right flagship playlists rather than a generic catch-all one. If you make dance or club-oriented music, high-energy edits and mood tags like "energetic" or "hypnotic" help route your track correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long after uploading can I still submit a track for trending?
Only tracks uploaded within the last 4 weeks are eligible for trending consideration, so submit early rather than waiting to see how the track performs first.
Does verification cost anything?
No. Claiming and verifying your profile through Audiomack's official Instagram account, @audiomackartist, is free and required before submission tools become available to you.
Does engagement before I submit actually matter?
Yes. Curators look at organic signals like favorites, playlist adds, and supporter activity as part of deciding what to feature, so building some momentum before submitting strengthens your case.
Is playlist placement the same as getting on the trending chart?
They're related but not identical. Trending is Audiomack's platform-wide chart, while individual curated playlists are separate collections you can also be added to, and strong genre tagging and submission quality help with both.
