Which songs can you feature in Pandora AMP?
Open the artist profile in Pandora AMP and find the song in Catalog. Click it to open Track Reporting, then review Radio Spins and listener feedback over the same recent period. Pandora’s guide lists at least 10 weekly radio spins, positive listener feedback and no previous feature as eligibility guidelines. Pandora Support also says it considers other signals and keeps the full evaluation private.
Pandora removed the 365-day age limit in February 2026. The older Promote Single sheet still shows that limit. Use the current Featured Tracks guide and confirm your song in the picker.
The new single shows 14 total streams in a week and seven Radio Spins. The older track shows 12 Radio Spins over the same dates, has recent Thumbs Up and has never run as a feature. The artist checks the older track in the picker before choosing a campaign date.
What do you check if the track is missing from the picker?
| What you see | What to do | |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign tool missing | You can see the artist profile but cannot create a Featured Track. | Check your role and the tools available to that artist profile. Ask AMP Support if your eligible distribution partner should give you access. |
| Track missing from Catalog | You cannot find the intended song under the artist. | Confirm delivery and the artist profile first. Ask your provider or AMP Support for the status of that release. |
| Track in Catalog only | The song is on Pandora but does not appear in the Featured Track picker. | Check weekly Radio Spins, recent feedback and feature history. If those look right, save the track link and date range for AMP Support. |
Keep the public link and the exact recording name together. If a release contains two edits, the UPC and ISRC guide can help you give support the track code for the right one.

Submit or save a draft
Check the date and track again. Save a draft if another campaign is still running and you want it to finish first.
Open the campaign report after launch. Record its dates, Featured Spins, Total Spins and Thumbs Up. If you also ran an audio message or promoted a show, write that down. The report describes the campaign and gives you numbers to compare with future releases. It cannot isolate what each other promotion contributed.
