What is Discovery Mode?

Spotify Discovery Mode is a promotional tool that helps your music reach more listeners by increasing exposure in Spotify’s personalized algorithms — like Radio, Autoplay, and Mixes.

This gives your tracks a better chance of being discovered by new fans around the world.


How Does It Work for Kingsmen Artists?

  • If your music is distributed through Kingsmen Studio, your eligible tracks are automatically enrolled in Spotify Discovery Mode — no action is required from you.

  • You do not need to submit or request inclusion.

  • Discovery Mode may increase your exposure, but Spotify deducts a small commission (30%) on streams generated through this program.


Eligibility

To be considered, a track must:

  • Be distributed through Kingsmen Studio (via our partner platform).

  • Have been released for at least 30 days.

  • Meet Spotify’s internal criteria (performance, listener engagement, etc.).

If a track qualifies, it is automatically submitted by our system.


Important Notes

  • This feature is currently available only for tracks that meet Spotify’s criteria.

  • Inclusion in Discovery Mode does not guarantee results but can significantly increase reach.

  • Streams via Discovery Mode appear in your reports and may show a royalty deduction due to Spotify's promotional fee.


No Action Needed

You do not need to apply. If your track is eligible, we handle everything behind the scenes.
