Getting access to Discovery Mode
Discovery Mode is still in a beta phase and isn’t available to all artists yet. We're working to expand access to eligible artist teams.
You'll see a Discovery Mode section in your Campaigns tab in Spotify for Artists if you have access.
You may be eligible for Discovery Mode if your artist team meets all of the following requirements:
- You have at least 3 tracks that meet the track eligibility criteria below
- You have at least 25,000 monthly listeners. We’ve found that Discovery Mode works best with an audience of this size or above
- You have an active Spotify for Artists team that’s registered in one of the countries below. Learn how to set your team's billing country
