Playlists 101: Editorial Playlists

Editorial playlists are curated by the streaming retailer and are considered “fixed”. This means that the song and the song’s placement on the playlist are the same for every listener. An example would be Rap Caviar, a highly coveted editorial playlist. Currently, there are about 275 such editorial playlists on Spotify, typically focusing on a particular music genre such as rap, pop, or EDM. When a song has been added to one of these playlists, you are pretty much guaranteed all listeners of that playlist will get to hear that song.
