To ensure you never miss this critical algorithmic boost:

<ul> <li>✓ Upload track to distributor with a release date at least 2-3 weeks out.</li> <li>✓ Confirm track appears in Spotify for Artists.</li> <li>✓ Pitch track via Spotify for Artists at least **7 days before release** (even if the editorial message is minimal).</li> <li>✓ Promote your "Follow on Spotify" CTA aggressively leading up to and after release.</li> </ul> By adhering to this checklist, you guarantee that your new music lands directly in the ears of your most important audience—your existing fans—setting the stage for wider algorithmic discovery.
