In the world of music promotion, playlists are a game-changer. Whether you're an independent artist or a seasoned professional, getting featured on the right Spotify playlists can boost your reach and exposure. But beyond just landing on playlists, knowing is essential for both artists and fans who want to spread their favorite music.

This guide explains why playlist sharing is crucial for artists, how to share playlists on Spotify (both mobile and desktop), and how to track playlist performance using Viberate's analytics.

Why Sharing Playlists Matters for Artists

For artists, playlisting is one of the most effective ways to grow an audience. When your music gets added to a popular playlist, it gains more listeners, increases streaming numbers, and can even lead to algorithm-driven recommendations. But it's not just about being featured—actively sharing your own playlists is a great way to engage with fans and promote your music.

Here are some real-world examples of how playlist sharing benefits artists: curating and sharing your own playlists helps build a deeper connection with your audience. If you collaborate with other artists, featuring their songs alongside yours in a playlist can increase mutual exposure. You can create themed playlists around a new release and encourage fans to share them. Playlist placements can also catch the attention of record labels, managers, and music curators.

Now, let’s break down the process of sharing playlists on Spotify.

How to Share a Spotify Playlist on Mobile

Spotify makes it easy to share playlists from your mobile device. Whether you’re sending a playlist to a friend or promoting it on social media, here’s how to do it:

• Open the Spotify mobile app.
• Tap Your Library in the bottom right corner.
• Select the Playlists filter at the top to display your playlists.
• Choose the playlist you want to share.
• Tap on the three vertical dots (⋮) in the upper right corner.
• Select Share from the pop-up menu.
• Choose a sharing option:
• Copy the playlist link and paste it anywhere.
• Share directly to social media platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and X.
• Tap More to explore additional sharing options.

How to Share a Spotify Playlist on Desktop/Web

The process is nearly identical on the Spotify desktop app or web player:

• Open Spotify on your computer.
• Navigate to Your Library and click on the Playlists tab.
• Select the playlist you want to share.
• Click on the three dots (⋮) next to the playlist title.
• Click Share, then choose one of the available options:
• Copy the playlist link.
• Share directly via social media.

Once your playlist is out in the world, it’s time to measure its impact.
