Partnered playlisting is when you partner with us by giving us 20% of your royalties so we take up the cost of plugging your music. Non Partnered Playlisting gives us no income on your songs and you take up the cost for plugging your music.
We do not guarantee this because the quality of your songs is paramount for playlisting. We however do achieve and deliver results once the song is of the highest quality or standard
Contact us to discuss this and we can provide further information on why your song was not playlisted
We playlist your songs across a variety of stores however we primarily playlist one store at most two due to the cost involved in doing it across multiple stores.
