Playlist Description

Musicians grow by supporting and encouraging each other. This is a fact. That is the idea of this playlist. With the Eden's End Friends Choice playlist we have created a medium to support fellow artists and increase awareness of their musical works. We're a guitar oriented band, but aim to be open minded - anything will be considered. Sound good?

Contribute. Follow. Listen. Share. Be awesome! Read the guidelines that we adhere to below...


Guidelines

  • How do songs get added? At this point a lot of the songs are recommendations from artists who have been on the playlist previously. (This awesome community works!) We also keep an eye out for artists being supportive of other artists, engaged in the online community, and look to add songs that way. We also accept song submissions using the community link on our web site. Submit a song (Spotify song links only) and we'll consider it. We are planning to build something more specific to song submissions soon with partners like MerchTablePro.com. We also do add some of our own finds and old favourites.
  • As each song comes up for a poll on Twitter, it is moved to the top and we create a poll tweet for our followers on Twitter (@EdensEndMusic) (27k and growing) to decide if the song becomes a KEEPER or not. We will tweet to raise awareness of new songs and run a vote over 6 or 7 days. We'll mention the artist (tag) in the tweets if we can find their handle on Twitter.
  • If we cannot determine the artist's twitter handle, there will be no poll. In fact, the song may not even get on the playlist. This approach helps us process more volume so backlogs occur less frequently. Not having your social links in your Spotify for Artists profile is actually going to hurt your chances of being included on Eden's End Friends Choice playlist (and others). We will let the song cycle through the main playlist and it will be included in our annual "Eden's End Friends Choice Complete Playlist Series" as well (more infomation below and links at the bottom). Having no poll will mean that the song will never go into an archive/keeper playlist (also more about that below). Do yourself a favour and claim your Spotify For Artists profile and add your links. On a related note, if we see an artist we recognize and they have not followed back, we will consider bypassing the song poll as well depending on how large the backlog is at the time.
  • Generally, we aim to keep about 4 months minimum in between songs from the same artists so variety is maintained. Apparently, Spotify's algorithms don't like several songs from the same artist on a single playlist. We think we've found a happy medium.
  • We will sprinkle in some mainstream music as well. Apparently the algorithm fairies at Spotify like this. These songs will be treated the same in terms of polls. The tagging guidelines we mentioned above will apply regardless of the status of the artist.
  • We will aim to tweet again when polls are getting close to completion.
  • Once the poll closes, we will tweet about songs that have been voted to KEEP.
  • We will quietly remove songs that were voted to be DROPPED. We're not here to tear anyone down.
  • Anyone on Twitter will be able to vote (except us).
  • In cases where voting on a song results in a tie, we will side with KEEPING the song.
  • When a song is voted to KEEP, it will be added to an "Eden's End - KEEPERS Vol. 1, 2, 3, etc." playlist. Each of the KEEPERS playlists will have 100 songs. We've setup regular promotion of these KEEPERS playlists so artists keep getting deserved attention. Note that we reserve the right to only mention/include artists who have followed back. Be sure to follow them all and share them regularly! THE LIST IS BELOW!
  • Outside of the poll tweets, we will also tweet and tag participating artists from time to time to support these artists and encourage more listeners. This will include references to both the current playlist and to the KEEPER playlists. So once you're in, you're in (provided you stay cool). NOTE: We do prioritize mentions of the more engaged artists. What you can do is mention other artists and encourage your fans to follow them, tweet about the playlist, encourage your followers to listen, vote, talk about, and follow the playlist. The more active you and your audience are, the better your chances are for getting shoutouts, more attention, and more songs included.
  • We've modified the length of the main playlist so that we are keeping songs on the main playlist for about 1-2 months before they roll off the bottom. Remember, songs voted KEEP live on for good in the KEEPERS playlists!
  • As soon as a KEEPER playlist is full, it will be added to an ongoing promotion cycle and we will mention as many of the included artists as possible. We will continually encourage people to follow the KEEPERS playlists.
  • Generally, if we've had a song before it won't be included. There are exceptions to this where the artists is a very supportive part of the community and it has been a long time since the song was included.
  • Playlists are no longer collaborative. We had too many people abusing it by adding their entire library, moving their own songs to the top, and/or deleting other peoples songs.
  • If you have a song on the playlist (or even if you don't), we request that you save the playlist and listen to the entire playlist regularly. Hey, it changes all the time and there is some very very good stuff. We are listening to it constantly. The more you & others listen, everyone wins.
  • If you have a song on the playlist (or if you don't), we would ask that you vote for the other entries regularly.
  • If you enjoy an artist, please follow them on social media/spotify (other music platforms too).
  • If you enjoy an artist, please give them a shoutout or post positive comments about them on social.
  • We reserve the right to update the guidelines at any time.
  • We reserve the right to change song order at any time.
  • We reserve the right to remove any song or the entire playlist at any time.
  • We reserve the right to change the playlist name or description at any time.
  • Eden's End & The Joker Project songs will be included periodically in the playlist.
  • We maintain a full copy of the playlist called "Eden's End Friends Choice Complete ####" (#### = year) that includes everything ever added in sequence and has been voted to 'keep'. Each calendar year, a new COMPLETE playlist is created. So, it's a bonus that all participants will find themselves on this additional playlist. People seem to be organically finding these and following, so also a cool outcome for engaged artists.
  • We aim to be patient and fair to everyone. However, from time-to-time, we run across people who demonstrate less-than-supportive behaviours . . . those people are ignored and we stick to these guidelines. Artists not in good standing will not be tagged on social and will not benefit from any of our extra effort. We reserve the right to drop songs if we feel it is warranted.
  • Link bombers will be at a minimum ignored, and more likely they will be reported and blocked. Link bombing is dropping your own link on someone elses thread or in a DM uninvited. Link bombing is shitty behaviour, never results in a positive response, and makes you look like a douche. Don't do it.

We find it incredibly rewarding when we see artists that we've had a small part in promoting get some deserved attention. It's also fantastic when fellow music enthusiasts discover a new favourite. We get even more joy when we see artists we've connected showing support for one another.
