    We’re excited to announce an update to Creator Notifications! In 2022, we launched Creator Notifications, which allowed AMP users to subscribe to email notifications for artists they follow. These notifications included “Week in Review” and “At the Moment” emails so AMP users can get regular updates about recent editorial placements and spin metrics. Today marks a complete redesign of the existing notifications, as well as a new, third type of notification, Milestones!     Milestones allows AMP users to receive important landmark notifications, such as, when an artist’s track reaches the elite “Million Streams Club.” Milestone notifications include a custom visual asset in multiple sizes to download and share. We’ll be gradually introducing different types of Milestone notifications, so we encourage you to sign up today.   When you log in to AMP, simply navigate to the profile of the artist you would like to follow. In the Insights tab, scroll down to “Follow Artist.” There you can click the star icon to follow that artist and they’ll appear directly on your dashboard. You can then click the mail icon to opt in to receive email notifications. Clicking the gear icon will allow you to customize the email notifications you would like to receive, including At the Moment, Week in Review and now, Milestones.        Sign into Pandora AMP here to check out these new features!   For more information about Creator Notifications, the AMP tools, User Guides, and more, please check out the AMP Playbook. ...

  We’re very excited to announce the release of curator profiles! All types of curators on Pandora, including Labels, DJs, songwriters, journalists, writers, actors, chefs, influencers and more, now have a listener-facing profile where they can showcase the playlists, stations, and Stories they’ve made using Pandora AMP’s free curation tools. Programs on Pandora:   Ben Fong-Torres (journalist / author) - Stories with Ben Fong-Torres Shelly Peiken (songwriter / musician) - The Songs Of Shelly Peiken Third Man Records (record label) - The Stories Behind Southeast Of Saturn Sameer Gadhia (musician / podcaster) - Point Of Origin Ina Garten - The Barefoot Contessa (chef / television personality) - Road Trip Chrissy Metz (actress) - Feel Good Playlist   Why Curation Matters As content creation and catalog volume have exploded over the last several years, the art of curation has proven to be more important than ever. As listeners often struggle with the barrage of content out there, more people are turning to the curators they trust for specialized listening experiences and uniquely curated programming. With curator profiles on Pandora, it is now easier than ever for fans to discover and engage with the curated programs they love.   “Approximately 50,000 songs get uploaded a day and the average music listener doesn’t have to go through it all to find good music. That’s where curators come in. Using our expertise and passion for music we go through all of the tracks and pick out the best ones for different listening experiences.” - Josh “J1” Raiford, Vice President of Sirius XM/Pandora Programming     Since Pandora Stories was launched in 2019, curators have been using the Pandora AMP toolset to create unique programs, sharing the stories behind some of their favorite music. Artists, labels, podcasters, songwriters, producers, DJs, authors, influencers and anyone who counts music as part of their creative process, have been making programs in their own unique voices to celebrate the music in their lives, whether they create music or are avid listeners. “Pandora is proud to continue to wave the flag for human curation. Remember passing that mix cd of your favorite songs to your friends? Well, it still happens in AMP where we lovingly seek out the best new music and amplify it across our platform for our listeners to get turned on to something new. We know there are a ton of offerings out there, but rest assured we’re hand selecting the best new music so it doesn’t get lost in all the digital distraction.” - Chris Patyk, Assoc. Director Music Programming, Rock   Discovering Curators on Pandora Curators now have a home for all of their content on Pandora and can use their curator profile to help grow their audience. The new curator profiles showcase dedicated sections for both stations and playlists, as well as displaying curator images and bios. Pandora listeners can easily discover more programs by their favorite curators and keep up with the new programs they are creating. For listeners using the Pandora mobile app, you can go to a curator’s profile from a program they’ve created by scrolling to the bottom and tapping on the “More by curator” option which will bring you to the curator’s profile. For listeners on the web platform, select a program and click the “by curator” link under the program title to view all of that curator’s programs.   Become a Curator on Pandora Verified curators already creating programs in Pandora AMP are now able to go to their Profile tab after signing in to upload a curator photo, submit a custom bio, and share their curator profile link with their fans. If you’re interested in becoming a curator and creating your own programs on Pandora, you can sign up for it here. All artists who have claimed their profiles on Pandora AMP, will automatically have the Programs option available to them. If you’re an artist new to AMP, you can get started by claiming your artist profile here. So far, curators of all kinds have created thousands of incredible programs on Pandora, offering a wide array of original and exclusive listening experiences. We encourage you to check some of them out, and then make your own! Welcome to the Pandora curator community! Thanks, – The Creator Team SiriusXM Pandora ... View more
