Everything you need to know about Chartlex

The free audit is an AI-powered analysis of your Spotify artist profile. It examines your release cadence, listener save rate, skip rate, playlist velocity, and audience retention — then generates a personalised action plan showing exactly what’s holding back your growth. It takes under 2 minutes and costs nothing.

The audit highlights the specific algorithmic blind spots in your profile: whether your save rate is below benchmark, whether your release frequency is working against you, how your skip rate compares to genre averages, and which actions would have the biggest impact on your monthly listener count. You’ll see a prioritised list of improvements, not a generic checklist.

It’s genuinely free — no credit card, no trial, no commitment. More than 5,000 artists have completed it. After the audit, you’ll see recommendations and, where relevant, information about Chartlex campaigns that could help. You’re under no obligation to purchase anything.

Most artists complete the audit in under 2 minutes. The AI analyses your profile in real time and delivers results immediately — no waiting for a human review.

Chartlex promotes your music to real, active Spotify listeners who are pre-matched to your genre and sound. When these listeners engage with your track — saving it, adding it to playlists, or listening repeatedly — Spotify’s algorithm registers genuine positive signals and begins to amplify your reach through Discover Weekly, Release Radar, Autoplay, and Radio. We never use bots, fake streams, or incentivised plays.

One-time algorithmic campaigns are ideal for a new release — they create a concentrated burst of real engagement around a specific track, triggering Spotify’s algorithm at launch. Monthly plans provide ongoing promotion across multiple releases, building momentum over time. Both use the same compliant, algorithm-safe methods.

We work across all genres — pop, hip-hop, R&B, electronic, rock, indie, country, Latin, Afrobeats, classical, jazz, and more. Genre matching is a core part of our campaign process. Your music reaches listeners who already engage with similar artists.

No. We work with artists at every stage — from those releasing their first track to artists with hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners. The free audit will tell you whether a campaign is the right next step for where you are right now.

You can run campaigns on existing tracks as well as new releases. That said, campaigns perform best on tracks released within the last 90 days, when Spotify’s algorithm is still actively evaluating the track’s engagement signals.

Completely different. Buying streams means bot plays with zero algorithm signal — Spotify can detect and remove them. Chartlex campaigns put your track in front of real listeners through curated playlists. Those listeners save and replay, triggering Autoplay, Radio, and Discover Weekly organically. Bot streams get removed; ours compound.

Next Tuesday or Friday. Campaigns launch every Tuesday and Friday. Order before the next batch and your track goes live on launch day. Start date confirmed in your dashboard with email notification.

Yes — full live dashboard. Daily streams, save rates, algorithm source breakdown (Autoplay, Radio, direct plays), listener geography, and campaign progress. Matches Spotify for Artists exactly — cross-verify everything yourself.

Results vary based on the campaign tier, genre, and how well the track resonates with matched listeners. On average, artists who address their algorithmic blind spots see a 3× increase in monthly listeners. Campaign case studies — with real before/after numbers — are available at chartlex.com/case-studies.

Most artists see initial movement within 7–14 days of a campaign starting. Algorithmic effects (Discover Weekly placements, Radio appearances) typically compound over 30–60 days after the campaign ends, as Spotify continues to recommend music that received strong engagement signals.

Yes — that’s the key difference between algorithmic promotion and simple stream injection. Because we’re building real engagement signals, Spotify’s algorithm continues to recommend your music after the campaign ends. Many artists see their strongest growth in the weeks following a campaign as algorithmic placements compound.

Depends on your plan and track. Beginner plan ($199/mo) typically delivers +4,200–7,000 new monthly listeners over 30 days with a 4–6% save rate. Algorithmic pickup within 7–14 days. Organic streams continue 2–6 weeks after the campaign ends.

We never guarantee specific numbers. Anyone who does is either lying or using bots. What we can guarantee is that your campaign will reach real, genre-matched listeners using fully compliant methods — and our case studies show the real results that approach delivers.

Yes. Chartlex uses only Spotify-compliant promotion methods. We never use bots, fake streams, click farms, or incentivised plays — all of which violate Spotify’s Terms of Service. Our campaigns drive real listener engagement, which is exactly what Spotify’s algorithm is designed to reward.

Not from working with Chartlex. Spotify removes music and bans accounts when fake or artificial streams are detected. Because our campaigns generate real engagement from real listeners, there is no policy violation and no risk to your profile.

From Spotify’s perspective, what they see is real listeners engaging with your music — which is exactly what they want. We don’t interface with Spotify directly or have any special relationship with Spotify, Inc. We simply connect your music with real people who are likely to enjoy it.

The key signal is what happens after: fake streams plateau immediately — you see a spike, then nothing. Chartlex campaigns create real listener signals that compound through Spotify’s algorithm over time. If you see continued growth weeks after a campaign ends, that’s algorithmic momentum — something bots can’t create. Our case studies document exactly this pattern.

Campaign pricing varies by tier — the number of listeners, duration, and targeting depth. The full range of campaigns and current pricing is available at chartlex.com/plans. The free audit will recommend the appropriate tier for your goals.

We stand behind our work. If a campaign does not deliver the promised level of listener engagement, we’ll either top it up or issue a refund. Please review the specific terms on the campaign page before purchasing, as policies vary by product.

The Growth Dashboard ($59/month) gives you a dedicated artist dashboard with ongoing campaign management, monthly listener tracking, algorithmic insights, and priority support. It’s designed for artists who want a continuous growth partner rather than one-off campaigns.
