Get free Spotify plays on one track
Twenty plays, delivered to a track of your choosing, at no cost. No login, no card details, nothing connected to your artist dashboard. Submit the track address and the order runs over the next three hours or so.
The thirty second rule decides what counts
A stream only registers once somebody has listened for at least thirty seconds. Anything shorter is not counted and does not generate a royalty. That threshold is the single most important thing to understand about this metric, because it means a play here represents genuine listening time and not a click.
It also explains why play counts on this platform move more slowly than view counts elsewhere.
Setting up the reading
- Note the play figure on the track before ordering.
- Paste the track address above with your email.
- Confirm, then compare the following day.
Reporting is compiled on a delay, so a reading taken an hour after delivery will usually be partial. Wait for the following morning and take one reading, which tells you more than five taken through the afternoon.
