Official Charter
DSP Compliance Division
TuneCurrent maintains an active registry of audited playlist curators and DSP media outlets. We enforce 100% human-verified audio intake, disallowing automated software scripts, click farms, and inorganic loopers.
General & Promotion
Does TuneCurrent guarantee streams or views?
No reputable, legitimate music agency can or will guarantee exact stream numbers or play counts. Promising a specific quantity of streams is a direct indicator of artificial streaming or botting, which violates digital streaming platform (DSP) terms.
At TuneCurrent, we guarantee strategic exposure, placement consideration, and targeted curation before verified listeners. Stream volume is driven organically by audience engagement, listener retention, and platform algorithmic triggers.
How does TuneCurrent promote music?
Our promotion methodology blends four focused pillars:
- Direct Pitching: Editorial outreach to our audited network of independent third-party Spotify playlist curators.
- Algorithmic Triggers: Optimizing early save-to-listener and completion ratios to trigger Spotify Radio and Discover Weekly engines.
- YouTube Premiere Retargeting: High-retention acoustic previews, metadata tagging, and programmatic DSP retargeting.
- SoundCloud Repost Syndication: Targeted genre-specific repost chains through verified tastemaker collective profiles.
Which platforms can I promote on?
We execute bespoke campaigns across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud. Multi-platform cross-syndication options are available for releases requiring simultaneous audio and visual release momentum.
Anti-Bot & DSP Integrity
Does promotion use bots or artificial traffic?
Absolutely not. TuneCurrent enforces a strict zero-tolerance artificial engagement policy. We do not deploy click rings, automated listener daemons, VPN loops, or server farm accounts under any circumstance.
All placements adhere strictly to the Spotify Platform Rules, Apple Music Developer Terms, and YouTube Community Guidelines.
How do you protect artists from DSP fraud penalties?
DSPs now issue distributor takedowns and monetary fines for artificial stream spikes. TuneCurrent protects your catalog through three institutional safeguards:
- Telemetry Pre-Screening: Every playlist curator in our network undergoes 90-day follower trajectory audits via Chartmetric and SpotOnTrack to eliminate bot infestation.
- Gradual Audience Injection: Placements are phased to mimic genuine human discovery velocity, keeping song skip rates well below flagged danger thresholds.
- Live Stream Verification: Continuous monitoring of listener geographic clusters to detect anomalies immediately.
PR & Opportunities
Is editorial PR coverage guaranteed?
No independent publicist or agency can guarantee press placement, as accredited journalists and publication editors hold final editorial autonomy.
When you commission TuneCurrent for PR services, you are paying for senior-level media strategy: custom EPK formulation, angle crafting, targeted journalist desk pitching, embargoed advance distribution, and relentless follow-up across accredited music blogs and print zines.
Can TuneCurrent guarantee an opening-act or showcase slot?
Showcase opportunities, tour support slots, and festival bookings are selected directly by event talent buyers, headliner management, and venue promoters. TuneCurrent prepares professional talent dossiers and directly pitches routing agents, but final booking decisions remain with the live promoter.
Reporting & Delivery
What information do I receive after my campaign?
Upon campaign completion, artists receive a comprehensive Telemetry Dossier detailing:
Live Playlist Links
Direct hyperlinks to every playlist, curator profile, and positioning tier.
Engagement Metrics
Estimated impression footprints, listener save rates, and platform radio trigger shifts.
How quickly can a campaign begin?
All incoming tracks enter an editorial intake and master quality review lasting 24 to 48 hours. Once your release meets technical sonic and compliance standards, curator distribution and PR outreach commence immediately.
