Welcome back to PlaylistPulse Magazine (or if you are a new reader — Welcome! And make sure to subscribe free below to start tapping into the only magazine focused on how music is really consumed today).
We believe that life deserves an amazing soundtrack.
If you are a listener, we want to show you different ways to consume playlists– cooking, running, or touring a city. If you are an artist, we want to reveal how being on the right playlists can lead you to your hidden fans.
But overall, we want you to enjoy life more through music.

Who is this magazine for?

A new paradigm in how music is discovered and consumed deserves its own publication. Playlist Pulse was born to fill a growing knowledge and content gap across the music ecosystem- particularly when it comes to playlisting.

I love the look an the amount of content it has, covering different topics, charts, an interview and more. The clickable link buttons are also cool, I didn't know you could do that.

Molto interessanti le proposte musicali e i chiarimenti sulle playlist editoriali di Spotify. Forse bisognerebbe allargare i generi musicali trattati, magari lasciare un piccolo spazio ai generi non commerciali come il Jazz o cose del genere. Siete granti!
