Vote! (for your favorite song) (and also in the general election if you’re in the US)

Tomorrow is election day in the USA. So we thought today would be a good day to launch the DistroKid Playlist Spotlight.

Playlist Spotlight is a contest, like a rap battle or battle of the bands, where songs are put head-to-head & listeners vote for their favorite. Anyone can vote — even people who don’t have a DistroKid account (it doesn’t ask for registration).

The top songs each week are added to a DistroKid Spotify playlist with over 100,000 followers.

We built Playlist Spotlight because it’s a fun way for great music to get heard. The nice people at Spotify even gave us some playlists that are promoted to all Spotify users. For example, Open Spotify → Search → Tastemakers → Genres → DistroKid Hip Hop.

Playlist Spotlight is totally free for all DistroKid members. To add a track, visit:

And if you’re in the United States, vote. You’re gonna kick yourself if it’s close and you didn’t. To find your nearest polling place, visit:
