If you're a music lover and a Spotify listener, your curiosity may have been piqued by TikToks claiming that Spotify will hire you to review music. Unfortunately, though, this isn't true: Spotify won't pay you to listen to their music. There are, however, third-party music promotion websites that pay reviewers, or curators, to listen to and review music from artists in need of promotion. This helpful guide covers whether or not the Spotify reviewer job is a scam , how the job works , how to become a Spotify reviewer , how much you can get paid , and more.
Does Spotify hire reviewers or playlist curators?
Spotify Music Reviewer and Playlist Curator aren't real jobs offered by Spotify. Some websites, like Playlist Push or AudioFy, say they'll pay Spotify users a certain amount per song to listen to and review music on the app. But many people report having a hard time starting work and think some of the sites are scams.

1Choose a music promotion site like Playlist Push, Groover, or SoundCampaign. The websites that legitimately pay people to listen to music and curate playlists on Spotify are music promotion companies. They offer artists the chance to promote their music on Spotify playlists, music blogs, radio stations, and more. They also hire reviewers or curators to do the promotional work.
- Note that Groover only pays in Euros, meaning you would have to exchange your earnings for USD currency if you live in the United States.

2Ensure you meet their curator qualifications before you apply. Playlist Push and SoundCampaign, for example, require curator applicants to have at least 1000 "organic" followers on Spotify. "Organic" refers to followers that you collected over time because they liked your content, not followers that you paid. Groover's requirements are more vague, but one of the most notable qualifications is that you must have a website, Facebook page, or Instagram account with a "significant audience." That means that you have a lot of followers or readers.

3Fill out the application and wait to see if you qualify. When you apply, provide as much information as possible about your Spotify account, including your follower count, playlist genres, and favorite artists. After applying, expect to wait at least 24-48 hours to find out if you've been approved.
- Avoid websites that ask for sensitive information on the application, like your social security number or your bank account number. Additionally, avoid sites that prompt you to complete offers like subscriptions or surveys to get work, as those are undoubtedly scams.
