How To Create A Quality Playlist?

Hi curators!😊

To help you to create quality playlists and get the promotion, here is a guideline that can help you get the attention of the editorial team.

The key elements of creating a quality playlist include the playlist's theme, title, introduction, cover, and the songs you select.

1. Playlist Theme

a) Discover some topics that the editorial team missed.

You can check the existing playlists with similar themes through the search widget. Don't create playlists related to top, hot, new songs that the editorial team creates a lot. This will reduce the likelihood of your playlist being recommended.

b) You can curate playlists with regard to music hotspots, such as music festivals, music awards, and so on.

Grammy Winners 2023
AFRIMA AWARDS 2022
BET Hiphop Awards 2022

c) You can curate playlists with regard to scenes, moods, hot topics, and cultures in life that can be associated with music.

Relaxing Sleep
EDM Workout

d) Please don't create playlists related to a certain artist or mention 'My'. such as:

Burna Boy

Wizkid's song

My Playlist

My favorite songs

2. Playlist Title

a) The number of words should be less than 40, Including spaces and punctuation.

b) Contains the main information of the playlist, such as the main scene and genres.

c) Avoid the same title as the official playlists.

d) No advertising and illegal information.

3. Playlist Introduction

You can fill in the description of the playlist and summarize the songs contained in it so that listeners can better understand it.

4. Playlist Cover

a) Choose a picture that fits the theme of the playlist.

b) Select high-definition and undistorted images.

c) Better to be different from other quality playlists.

d) No advertising and watermark allowed.

e) Don’t use the cover from the album.

f) Don’t use any pornographic or illegal substances as the playlist cover.

g) Don’t use the Boomplay logo without permission on the playlist cover.

5. The Songs You Select

a) The number of songs should be more than 20.

b) The number of songs that belongs to one artist must be less than two and remember to adjust the order.

c) The Songs should be in line with the theme of the playlist, such as “No R&B songs in the Reggae playlist”, and no songs like Rock and other energetic songs in the Sleep playlist.

d) Try to reflect your unique personal taste and choose more niche songs. Too many hot&new songs make the playlist homogenized, which is not conducive to being recommended by the editorial team.

6. Others

a) Please don't change any information in the playlist after being recommended as a quality playlist, including the playlist name, cover, and songs.

b) Before your playlist is promoted, you could improve your personal information. You can give yourself a nice account name and choose a good-looking avatar to let your listeners know you better.

The editorial team will select some quality playlists in the playlist curation campaign to promote. Please tag #PlaylistCuration and the theme of the campaign in a buzz post and share your playlist so that the editorial team can discover it.

Welcome to creating your playlist!😃
