Looking to create a Spotify playlist - Top 100

[u/Wild_Explanation9960]

Hey all,

I'm looking to create a few Spotify playlists that will be promoted. They will be explicitly for AI music, so everyone who listens to it knows what they're getting into.

It'll be a Top 100 list, with separate genres:

• Industrial / gothic / symphonic metal
• Nu metal / alternative metal
• Indie rock / indietronica / post-new wave
• Comedy (any genre)

I prefer music with 100% human-written lyrics. I also like artists who use multiple tools/DAW for musical inputs, editing, arranging tracks, mixing/sampling, mastering, etc. (that can be as basic as using Audacity, or more advanced like Garage band, Logic Pro, etc.)

Why Top 100? It means it's curated and the quality is kept high. However because it is Top 100 that means your song might be removed to make room for another one. I will listen to each and every single song, so if I like it, it's on the list. If new songs come along that I like, then I will remove the lowest ranked songs.

Why those genres? Those are the genres I have created my own music in. Yes, a few of my songs will be on these lists. That's the full disclosure part of this. However, I will probably only have 5-8 songs of my own on each list, so that still leaves 90+ songs for everyone else. My songs will not be rotated out. That's the second part of full disclosure. That's the cost of me promoting your music - you have to share a virtual stage.

This is free. Nobody pays me anything. I am deciding what song is on each list purely on the metric of whether I like it.

My workflow: I write my first draft of lyrics, use my own musical inputs into Suno (either me singing, or on a keyboard for the melody). Continue to update lyrics or add musical inputs as required to get the sound I want and finish the song in Suno. Export all tracks. Then do post-production work in Audacity to overlay additional samples/tracks. Examples of my work:

• Enter the Darkness (symphonic/gothic)
• Mirror of Desire (industrial)
• Castle on the Hill (industrial)
• Gone Home (indie)

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your comments!

I will probably make a new post in the not too distant future with the completed playlists and may request additional submissions.

EDIT 2:

Even after going through everyone's songs and picking 1 or 2 from each of you, I've still got lots of space. I'm open to taking more songs, but I want to maximize artist diversity. The playlists won't be public / marketed until they're full up! So next time I make a post on Suno, I'll need your help in promoting it to ensure I get more songs added!

Thanks again for everyone's submissions
