Launch note: the board opens with 16 songs by Purrple Cat so it isn't empty. Vote counts are real and start at zero. Songs you post join after review.

Post your song

Paste a public link to a song you made. It waits in a private queue until a person reviews it; nothing you send is shown on the site before that. We store only what's in this form, the time, and a scrambled code of your connection to stop spam. No email, no account.

How to promote a song, for free

Posting here is one step. This is the rest of a launch week that costs nothing. Tick the boxes as you go; your progress stays in this browser.

Caption maker

Fill in the boxes and copy a caption sized for each place. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Skip these

  • Bought streams or "guaranteed" plays. Often bots; platforms can remove them, or the song.
  • Pay-per-placement playlists. Even when the listeners are real, they rarely stick around.
  • Copy-paste DMs to curators. One short, personal pitch beats fifty identical ones.

Questions

How do I get my song on the promotesong front page?

Paste a public link to your song (Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Audiomack or any https page) in the Post your song form. It goes into a review queue. A person checks every post before it can appear on the board, so nothing you send is public right away.

Does it cost anything to promote a song here?

No. There is no paid placement, no boost button and nothing to buy. Songs move up the board only from listener votes.

How long does review take?

Posts are reviewed by hand, so there is no fixed time. Keep your receipt code and check it in the form any time to see if your post is still pending, approved or declined.

How does the ranking work?

Hot uses votes with gravity: score = (votes + 1) / (hours on the board + 2)^1.5, so newer songs get a fair shot. New sorts by release date and Top sorts by total votes. One vote per song per visitor; tap again to take it back.

What should I do besides posting here to promote a song?

Use the launch-week checklist and caption maker below: pitch to playlists before release day, post short clips, share one smart link everywhere, and reply to every comment in the first week. Free, steady work beats paid shortcuts.

Are paid playlist placements a good idea?

Be careful. Services that guarantee streams for money often use bots, and streaming platforms can remove those streams or the song. Free pitching and real listeners are safer.

Can I use the Purrple Cat songs on this page in my videos?

Yes. They are free to use under CC BY 4.0 with the credit line: Music by Purrple Cat (purrplecat.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0. That covers YouTube and Spotify too, for example videos or podcasts with the music in them.

Can I upload a Purrple Cat beat to Spotify or YouTube Music as my own song?

You can make new songs and videos that use the music with credit, but don't re-upload the original beats, and don't release remixes, covers or raps over the beats on streaming platforms.
