Inside the Playbook: Bryan Johnson on How Spotify Editors Find Music

How do artists get discovered on Spotify today?

In this clip from The Manager’s Playbook, Mauricio Ruiz and Bryan Johnson from Spotify talk about the future of music discovery, editorial playlists, algorithmic recommendations, and what artists should understand about Spotify for Artists.

Bryan explains why both editorial and algorithmic playlists still matter, how active listening signals like searches, saves, and direct adds influence discovery, and what actually happens when artists submit music through Spotify’s playlist pitch tool.

They also discuss sustainable artist careers, the role of human editors, and why real fan behavior still matters in an increasingly algorithmic music economy.

For artists, managers, and music executives, this is a clear look at how discovery works now and how artists can better position their music to be heard.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
