![]() In the end, you basically let curators find new music for you. You see daily, weekly or monthly additions? This is the type of playlist you want to follow, because someone is actively curating it and will add new songs for you. Abandoned playlist with all additions from 2015? You can still listen once, but you wont get anything new afterwards. You can see when a song was added to the playlist, scroll down looking at all the dates. Chances are, it's full of games you never played and have great OSTs. Let's say you found a playlist with a few Final Fantasy tracks in it, all other tracks are probably closely related. If you like Final Fantasy OSTs and don't see any in this gaming playlist, chances are you wont like it. Do you see anything you recognize? A good playlist will have popular and less popular songs in it. Now, look at the songs inside the playlist. Massive playlists are a waste of time, you wont discover anything in them. A good playlist will have below 100 songs in it and a 2h to 4h duration. Look at the song count and the total duration. It should accurately describe what you're about to listen to. Or you can click on the top playlist tab (above the "Top results") to see a big list of playlists.Ĭlick on one playlist that looks appealing to you. And multiple categories scrolling down (since June 2022, those categories now also appear in small tabs on top, Deezer had it first).įrom there you can either scroll down until you see the word "Playlists" with a bunch of playlists listed horizontally. You will then see a top result, being most likely a playlist. Yes, music discovery on YouTube is not a thing anymore and they want it off the platform (this is Google's way of optimizing ad revenue people listening to music tend to not engage with ads when compared to other video formats like how-tos).Īfter opening the Spotify website or launching the app, you can safely disregard everything you see and click on search in the left menu, then type your keywords "Game OST" in the search bar. Music is a special case of reverse SEO because it can't be searched directly, without you having fans first that type your name.Īnd to give you an idea about how much Google actually values music on YouTube: they made 2 separate platforms, Google Play (discontinued) and YouTube Music. The algorithm works fine for other type of content. I t takes a very long time for music to start getting organic traffic. The way the algorithm recommends you videos works directly against brand new music: a new song is not yet linked to any other videos, therefore the new watch-time (or session-time) oriented algorithm will not risk it. The issue here is that you are not "discovering" a 15 year old music with over 100m views, and you probably heard all of them already. To make you stay on the platform, YouTube will mostly recommend old videos that already performed well. Today's algorithm will just show you whatever has the most watch time and therefore the most views, closely related to the video you are currently watching. May 2023: Updated information about Spotify's "Discovered On" playlist ranking system. March 2023: Added Method 2 (Spotify required), it assumes that you read Method 1. The curation process is based on your own personal past experiences (like the games you played, movies you watched, etc.) and is not the subject of this article. Note: This article is about finding music in playlists with regular updates (like in my personal playlists ). I will also give you a brief history of why it is hard today to find anything new, because of how search engines algorithms have evolved, based on my personal experience using pre-2012 and post-2012 YouTube. Community playlists are the opposite of in-house playlists (also named official or featured), they are created by independent curators. The strategy involves a smart usage of community playlists (also named public) on platforms that implemented them. I'm an independent playlist curator, and in this article I will teach you how to discover new music that you will enjoy, on platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Deezer or other similar websites. ![]()
