Pandora radio promo7/28/2023 ![]() In the “Additional Information for Verification” section, write “I am a CD Baby artist”.Here’s how to claim your profile on Pandora’s Artist Marketing Platform This will also unlock the suite of promotion tools described below AND enable Pandora to include your music in whatever interactive streaming platform they may be dreaming up. If your music is already on Pandora’s standard radio service, but you’d like CD Baby to make sure your songs are included in Pandora Plus (which gives users more options such as ad-free, offline listening, song replay, additional skips, and more), you’ll just have to make sure you’re opted in for distribution to streaming services within your CD Baby member account. How? CD Baby! We’ve entered into a partnership with Pandora, so if you’re distributing music through us and also get accepted by Pandora, we’ll deliver your songs to them AND make it easy for you to claim your profile on Pandora’s Artist Marketing Platform so you can use all their promotion and analytics tools - some of which (Artist Audio Messages and Featured Tracks, for instance) are only available to artists whose music has been delivered to Pandora by a licensed partner such as CD Baby. If they DO want your music based on the few songs you submitted (congrats), they’ll acquire your whole release and enter it into their catalog (and Music Genome). Pandora curates their catalog according to their current needs, and I imagine they have some genres where they’re already overstuffed on great new music. If they say no thanks, it’s a bummer for sure, and better luck on your next release - but a no thanks isn’t necessarily a reflection of the quality of your music. Then wait with fingers crossed for a yes or no response. If you aren’t on Pandora yet, it’s a simple submissions process. If you are able to create a station based on your artist name, you are active on Pandora. To find out if you’re already active on Pandora, login to your Pandora listener account and search for your artist name in the “Create Station” field. And for “developing artists” - which is everyone else (more than 150,000 artists) - 45 new fans will hear your songs for each station created from your music.įirst thing’s first: none of these tools or discovery opportunities will do you any good if your music isn’t on Pandora.If you’re in the “mainstream” - which Pandora defines as the top 1000 artists on the service - 22 new people will hear your music for every station created.On average, if you’re one of the top 10 artists on Pandora (you’re probably not reading this blog), 8 new people will hear your music for every one station seeded with your artist name or song title.The more times listeners create a station based on YOUR music, the more often it gets played in other stations. ![]() This is what Pandora calls “The Pandora Effect.” But first… Who can you reach with the new suite of tools in Artist Marketing Platform (or AMP)? Potentially, lots of people - and for free.īecause Pandora’s Music Genome maps similar artists and songs across a huge taxonomy of musical attributes, every time someone creates a station based on a a similar artist or song, your music has a chance of being served to that listener. Without turning this post into a list of superlatives, let me just say that they’re great and you should be using them if your music is on Pandora. I’ve just spent the morning checking out Pandora’s new promotion tools available to artists who are distributing music to Pandora via a licensed partner (like CD Baby). Pandora relaunches its (free) Artist Marketing Platform, and it’s super artist-friendly.
