How to Get More Spotify Streams Without Cheating

Streaming has revolutionized the music industry, and platforms like Spotify lead the market with over 615 million active users. However, standing out among millions of songs is not easy. Many artists resort to buying fake streams, but this can result in account suspension. So, what’s the best way to increase your streams organically?

At UP Music ProMotion, we bring you 7 effective strategies to achieve this without cheating.

1. Use Spotify for Artists and Analyze Your Data

Spotify for Artists provides detailed insights into your audience, such as:

• Listener locations.
• Demographic data.
• Playback behavior.

This allows you to adjust your promotional strategy and target the right audience. Don't ignore these tools—they can be your best ally for growth on the platform.

2. Create and Promote Your Own Playlists

Spotify doesn’t differentiate between playlists created by users or official curators. Create themed playlists and include your music alongside other relevant artists in your genre. Update these playlists frequently so that your followers receive notifications and return to listen.
