The short answer
Playlist Push is a real, long-running music promotion service. It sells two separate things: pitching your song to Spotify playlist curators, and paying TikTok creators to make videos with your sound. Curators are paid to review your song and creators are paid by views, but neither has to feature it, results aren't guaranteed and purchases can't be refunded. It suits artists who want Spotify playlist pitching and TikTok in one account. If you want videos on Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts too, or a lower minimum, look at the options below.

How a TikTok campaign works
- You pick geo-targeting and a content category, and can add a video concept, trends and hashtags.playlistpush.com: TikTok promotion · playlistpush.com help: TikTok campaigns · checked October 2026
- On launch day your sound becomes available to its creators. Videos usually start on day one and continue until the budget is spent; each is at least 10 seconds long.playlistpush.com help: TikTok campaigns · checked October 2026
- You see each video in a live dashboard, and daily email reports start 24 hours after the first video.playlistpush.com help: TikTok campaigns · checked October 2026
- You have 72 hours to reject a video, by rating it 1 or 2 stars; after that it is approved automatically. A rejection for not following your concept or not being able to hear your song returns that fee to the campaign once Playlist Push confirms it. “I don’t like the video” does not, and a rejected video will likely be deleted.playlistpush.com help: rejecting videos · checked October 2026
