Beatport Hype is a promotional platform for smaller artists and labels on Beatport. Hype enables you to grow your label and maximise exposure outside of the main Beatport genre charts and the dominance of more established labels. Only labels with sales under $15,000 in the preceding 12 months will be eligible.
What are the benefits of Beatport Hype?
Beatport Hype provides eligible labels with additional opportunities for exposure across Beatport. This includes dedicated promotional placements, Hype-specific charts and curated playlists designed to help emerging labels and artists reach a wider audience.
Homepage Feature Opportunities
Beatport reserves dedicated areas of its homepage for selected Hype releases, giving eligible releases an opportunity to gain prominent exposure alongside music from more established labels and artists.
Genre Page Feature Opportunities
Each participating Hype genre has dedicated feature space for selected Hype releases. This gives eligible releases an additional opportunity to be promoted directly to customers browsing music within their genre.
New Releases and Hype Picks by Beatport
Beatport curates selected Hype releases for additional visibility through its New Releases and Hype Picks sections. Selected releases can be highlighted on the Beatport homepage and relevant Hype genre pages.
Independent Hype Top 100 Charts
Hype releases compete within dedicated Hype charts, including an overall Hype Top 100 and individual genre charts. These charts give eligible labels another way to build visibility and momentum before potentially breaking into Beatport's main charts.
Best of Hype Playlists on All Platforms
Beatport curates monthly Best of Hype playlists featuring selected music from Hype labels. These playlists can provide additional exposure across the Beatport LINK ecosystem, including the mobile app, DJ web app and supported DJ software.
