Get your music on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and all major streaming platforms. Compare distribution services and maximize your reach.
Streaming platforms drive discovery, playlist placement, and royalty income. Even if beat sales are your primary income, having music on streaming platforms builds credibility and reach. Producers who release instrumental albums and beat tapes create additional revenue streams.
DistroKid ($22.99/year, unlimited releases) is the most popular for independent artists. TuneCore charges per release but offers detailed analytics. LANDR bundles distribution with mastering services. CD Baby offers one-time payments instead of subscriptions. All deliver to the same platforms — choose based on pricing model and features.
Submit to playlist curators 4+ weeks before release. Use Spotify for Artists to pitch to editorial playlists. Release consistently — the algorithm favors active artists. Create pre-save campaigns and share across social media. Collaborate with artists who already have streaming audiences.
