Playlist Search for Spotify
Granular search across 32M+ Spotify playlists, enriched with Bot Detection, Historical Charts, Contact Info, & more.
As preached by
Find Playlists by Keyword, Genre or Mood
Type what a listener would: “late night drive”, “sad indie”, “gym hip hop”. artist.tools searches more than 32 million Spotify playlists for it and shows each one with its followers, estimated listeners and 30-day growth. Sort by followers, or by follower growth to find the playlists that are taking off.
Then narrow it down. Pick one or more genres, set a follower range, or keep only the ones run by independent curators rather than Spotify’s own editors. A search that returns thousands of names becomes a short list you can actually work through.
Find Every Playlist a Song or Artist Is On
Want to know where a song is getting its streams, or which playlists already back an artist like yours? Add the song or artist under Advanced filters and the search returns only the playlists that include them. It’s the fastest way to find curators who already like your sound.
For the music you track, each song’s page also shows every playlist that added or removed it, and when, so you can see a campaign land day by day. Advanced filters are on any paid plan; playlist search itself is free.
Filter Out Botted Playlists
A big follower count means nothing if the followers are bots. Every playlist in the search carries a quality rating from artist.tools’ bot detection, and the Quality filter hides botted and removed playlists before you ever see them.
That matters for your music, not just your time. A botted playlist can bring fake streams onto your release even if you did nothing wrong, and that can cost you royalties or get the track taken down. Check any single playlist for free with the playlist bot checker.
See Who to Contact
The Contacts filter keeps only the playlists you can actually reach: by email, on Instagram, or through a submission page on SubmitLink, SubmitHub, Groover or DailyPlaylists. Combine it with genre and quality, and you have a pitch list of real, reachable curators in your style.
Mark playlists as contacted as you go, then hide them from your next search so you never pitch the same curator twice. For curator research at scale, see the curator contact list.
Check a Playlist's History Before You Pitch
Open any playlist from the results to see its full history: followers over time, the tracks it added and dropped, and where it ranks in Spotify search. A playlist that grows steadily and keeps tracks for weeks is worth more than one that spikes and churns.
The playlist analyzer covers this in depth. Looking for artists, songs, curators or keywords instead of playlists? That’s Advanced Search.

FAQ
Plainly answered
How do I search for Spotify playlists?
Type a keyword, genre or mood in the box at the top of this page and pick a playlist, or open the full search in the app. Then narrow the results by followers, contacts, bot risk and genre.
How do I find the playlists a song is on?
On a paid plan, add the song or artist under Advanced filters and the search returns only playlists that include it. Each track's page in artist.tools also lists the playlists that added or removed it, and when.
Can I search Spotify playlists by genre?
Yes. Use the Genres filter to limit results to one or more genres, and combine it with a keyword like "workout" or "late night".
How many playlists can I search?
More than 32 million Spotify playlists, each with its followers, estimated listeners and growth history.
Is the playlist search free?
Yes. Playlist search, with its metrics, contacts, quality and genre filters, works on every plan, including free. Advanced filters, such as finding playlists that include a specific song or artist, need a paid plan.
Can I see curator contact details?
Yes. Filter for playlists with an email, an Instagram or a submission page on SubmitLink, SubmitHub, Groover or DailyPlaylists, then open a playlist to reach its curator. See the curator contact list.
How is this different from searching on Spotify?
Spotify's search shows a handful of playlists by name, in its own order. artist.tools searches 32M+ playlists and lets you filter them by followers, contacts and bot risk and see how fast each is growing, so you find playlists worth pitching, not just the biggest names.
