How to Promote a Song on Apple Music (2026)
Apple Music promotion works when you combine Apple Music for Artists setup, a pre-add or save-intent moment, and paid discovery that brings repeat listeners, not random clicks.
Apple Music promotion is a system, not a single tactic.
Here is a plan that works for serious releases.
1) Make the artist page conversion-ready
Before you buy discovery, make sure the destination does not leak listeners:
clean artist imagery
correct links and catalog context
lyrics and credits handled on time
2) Choose an intent moment
Pick one primary conversion moment:
pre‑add (before release)
“listen now” (release day)
follow + library add (catalog growth)
If you try to do all of them at once, you do none of them well.
3) Run discovery that earns attention
Use short‑form creative that behaves like content, not ads. Optimize for watch time first. Then retarget intent.
4) Turn discovery into repeat listeners
Retarget on:
high video watch
landing page intent
warm list subscribers
Use a second creative angle, not the same clip forever.
5) Use playlists and radio as accelerants, not foundations
Playlist placement and Radio moments amplify. They do not replace a system that creates repeat listeners.
