playlisting
Organizing music selections
Playlisting is the practice of adding songs to curated playlists, especially on streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music.
For artists and labels, getting playlisted—placed on popular or editorial playlists—can dramatically boost streams and visibility: The album's success came largely from playlisting on major mood and genre collections.
The term also applies to radio programming decisions about which songs receive airplay.
