A lot of independent artist has asked it:
“How do I get the algorithm to push my music?”

Most people think it’s just about getting more plays. But here’s the truth: the algorithm doesn’t care how many people pressed play — it cares what they did next.

What the Spotify Algorithm Tracks
Spotify’s recommendation system is driven by user behavior.
Here are the key actions that tell the platform your track is worth promoting:

• Skips: If too many people skip your track before 30 seconds, it sends a negative signal.
• Saves: A high save rate is one of the strongest trust signals.
• Replays: Repeat listens show that your song is sticky.
• Shares: Whether they DM it or add to a playlist, shares amplify reach.
• Completion Rate: Did they listen to the full track, or bail halfway?

Why Saves > Streams
Streams might look great on your profile — but saves actually build your momentum.
They tell Spotify:

“This track is valuable. People want to come back to it.”

Artists with high save rates consistently get added to algorithmic playlists like:

• Release Radar
• Discover Weekly
• Daily Mixes

And that’s where real, scalable growth happens.

How to Improve Your Signal

• Cut long intros. Hook the listener in the first 5–10 seconds.
• Make sure your drop or vocal hits early.
• Create a strong pre-save campaign.
• Don’t waste your first 7 days — they’re everything.

Spotify’s algorithm doesn’t reward hype — it rewards connection.
If your track sparks real engagement, the machine takes care of the rest.

Keep creating. Keep tracking.
And play smarter, not louder.
