How Spotify and Discover Weekly Earns Me $400 / Month

There are three types of Spotify playlists: algorthmic (example: Discover Weekly), editorial (created by Spotify’s official human editor) and listener (anyone can make). The conventional wisdom for getting on Discover Weekly is that you first need to be featured on an editorial playlist first. While that’s probably a good first step, it’s not entirely true— my band BamBoo has never been on an editorial playlist and we’ve received 22,000+ streams from Discover Weekly.
