POSITIVE CHANGE FOR MY JUKEBOX

No, we do not believe in playola and believe that the process of music is and should be based upon the response from public participation. In order to produce a healthy musical environment that caters for both the public’s reception and the hardworking musicians of the world today, asking for playola would make the genuity of the music industry an artificial one as well as irresponsible.

By clicking on the navigational items in the Discover our playlist and Independent playlists section of the navigation menu you will be sent to an unlocking portal from which after accepting the conditions you will be able to begin submitting your songs for consideration on our playlist or any of the other independent playlists on our network.

Iconic playlists are for the Icons and solely kept for that purpose. They serve as a memorabilia in time and monumental figures that were and are responsible for the trendsetting of the music industry we have today. So if you do happen to be a musical king, queen, knight or noble man of a particular genre in history then please hit us up as we would be happy to include you as a monumental figure of a historical moment in time.

Upon acceptance of a song it takes between 7-14 days before it is included on our playlists. This is primarily for the Yesteryears, Millenial Mix and Express Yourself playlists. The Independent playlists on the other hand is exactly just that. independent. Therefore any submissions that are sent through that gateway are primarily administered by the owners of such playlists and you should read up or contact them, however possible regarding their submission policy.

Due to the number of submissions that one can receive in a day it is impossible for us to respond to each individual separately and therefore if you do see after your submission an automated response regarding your submission then you can be sure that we have received it. It is important that after your submission that you do regularly check the playlists you have submitted to, to see if your song gets featured there. If you do not see yourself featured on any of our playlist we ask that you do not let it discourage you from continuing to pursue your dreams and to keep submitting, we may have not chosen that song but believe that everyone has a gem stone. We also have the independent playlisting section created for additional opportunities for artists.

We do not encourage the submission of music videos primarily because we feel that the song needs to speak for itself. If we like the song we will search to see if it is available on YouTube and if so we may at a certain point in time include it in our video showcase for the particular playlist within our category.

We only accept Spotify and Deezer links so if these were not submitted then do not expect anything to be taken into consideration. We aim to give everyone as much equal attention as possible and having to search for various links from different service providers just makes things all the more tedious and time consuming for us. Therefore we prefer the 2 service providers, Deezer and Spotify.

This depends primarily upon several factors such as the audience participation of the songs in our playlists that we check regularly through statistical observations over the network. We cannot guarantee whether it will be a week, a month, 6 months or even a year as the audience member and listeners, at the end of the day, are the deciding controllers of our playlists.

We encourage the submission of 1 song per playlist a week to avoid the influx of our mailbox and to give us and independent curators the necessary time in which to listen to the number of songs we receive. If we notice that a number of songs have been sent through in one day for 1 individual artist, we simply delete our inbox in order to not flood our mail server. We also do not accept any media such as mp3, wav and other similar formats. We only look for Spotify links.

We are what is known as tastemakers and considering what is submitted to us and the particular genres they appeal to we make sure that the songs fit the particular tastes of our playlists and listeners. A combination to determine the placement of your song also depends on the quality of the music and generally how it appeals personally to the curators themselves, bearing in mind that everyone’s taste is different, including our curators. Our independent playlists have a range of other tastemakers so this allows for a variety of choice in terms of tastes.
