Hey there! Jamie from the Creator Services team here.
We wanted to make sure you knew about the AMP: Fresh Cuts Station. Fresh Cuts plays an eclectic mix of up and coming artists, who all use AMP!
If you have a new release (less than 2 months old) of any genre, and would like to get that track on Fresh Cuts, please tag the Pandora AMP socials on your release posts and we will have a listen!
We allow one track per artist at a time (and are happy to swap tracks out if needed). Tracks are removed 3 months after release day.
There's a TON of awesome music on this station, and we will often pass music on to other programmers for them to check out.
Happy listening!
P.S. Posting a submission in the comments here won't ensure your track being added to the Fresh Cuts Station, please tag us on socials.
Does that mean
1) For a release less than X months old
2) Create a social media post, tag with the provided tag
3) Pandora listening crew will listen? On it.

That is all correct!
Okay, I posted to IG. Let's see if they do anything with it 😉

Thank you Jamie for all that you do !!
Thanks Jamie - good to know - thanks - will tag on next release - thanks!
Very good, I would love to Upload!
Thank you! Good to know because I intend to release music down the road.
By "release day" do you mean: 1) when the song was released to the world in general; 2) when the song was first available to premium subscribers on Pandora (which could be, in my experience, months after #1), or 3) when the song was first available for radio play on Pandora (which you might want to add a few more months buffer for that process)?
For our records, release day is usually the day we release the song to the world but in actuality it is when the song is first available on a DSP. Thank you for pointing out the distinction and suggestion.
Hi Jamie, thanks for all you do with this! Does a new (to Pandora) artist need to be up on Pandora Radio before we submit a track for Fresh Cuts? Is it okay if they aren't yet?
Hi there! Apologies in the delay of this response, but release day has nothing to do with when the track appears on Pandora, but the day it was released into the world across all DSPs and formats. We try to keep this station as new and fresh as possible, so all tracks are less than 2 months old. Unfortunately, it would get too confusing to keep track of tracks older than that.
Hi there! Tracks just need to be in our system to be added. So if there's a UPC and in our system, most likely it will be able to be added. No need to provide the UPC, but if there is one, we should have it in our system and I should be able to find it.
Jamie, thanks for clarifying on Freshcuts, appreciate it! --Andrea
And let me piggyback on this — since I now know how to reach you, Jamie.
Thanks so much for your support. Seeing the number of plays is an amazing boost and I am so appreciative!
Hi I posted to facebook this morning and linked to https://www.facebook.com/pandoraAMP about my new release https://pandora.app.link/S8954eEXZEb ("Better at Goodbye"). I also located the AMP: Fresh Cuts station https://www.pandora.com/genre/amp-fresh-cuts - but the full playlist to the station is not available, so how do I know if/when my song has been added?
I posted to tick tock and twitter for my song Tough Luck by FLIGHT. This is my first single hopefully it gets selected for Fresh Cuts.
