A review and discussion of SubmitHub, PlaylistPush and Musosoup (updated)

I came across a  blog post  by music producer and recording artist Matti Charlton where he evaluated SubmitHub, PlaylistPush, and Musosoup. His review caught my attention because I am familiar with all of these services and wanted to compare his findings (as artist) to my findings (as curator / promotional channel). I must admit that we share some similar thoughts about these services! This post includes some practical tips to help you make the best use of the opportunities that you may come across. (tl,dr:) I.m.h.o. the only service really worth the money is SubmitHub, but finding the right tastemakers on SubmitHub will take time (and money). UPDATE - January 22, 2023: I have added and commented on a response from Musosoup at the end of this post. SubmitHub basics There are various types of channels on SubmitHub. In essence, the channels break down into the following categories: Radio/continuous streaming - play your music on e.g. (Internet) Radio stations, YouTube live stre...

Why Should I List Lyrics on LyricFind & Genius?

  As an artist, it's essential that you at least publish your song lyrics on Musixmatch, LyricFind, and Genius. Doing so can have several benefits: It increases the number of (streaming) platforms that display your lyrics - streaming services primarily use lyrics provided by Musixmatch and LyricFind. If your lyrics are not on LyricFind, your fans on those services that exclusively use LyricFind as the source for lyrics (and that is quite a few) will not see your (time-synced) lyrics. It enhances the listening experience for your fans - many listeners enjoy reading along with the lyrics as they listen to music, helping them remember the words and sing along. It increases the discoverability of your music - listing your lyrics can help people find your songs through search engines like Google and Bing, by showing up in search results for related topics. It generates additional songwriter royalties each time your song lyrics are displayed on a service or website. Songwriter royalti...

DIY - Getting Your Lyrics Displayed On Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, ...

Why would you want your lyrics to appear on as many services as possible? If the lyrics to a song are easily accessible, 88% of listeners will view them (e.g. by pressing an icon on a webpage or in an app) The addition of lyrics improves the listening experience. Listeners will be curious about what the artist is saying during live performances where artists are speaking / calling out to the audience (and are less audible). Law requires websites and services to pay royalties each time lyrics are displayed (songwriter royalties). With 88% of listeners viewing song lyrics, having your lyrics displayed on streaming services is a simple way to generate additional royalties! The process that is used to collect these royalties, also ensures that you receive royalties when your song is covered by another artist, when lyrics are used in books, sheet music, etc..   The steps to get your song lyrics on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. is relatively easy... and we have tools and guides to help...
