Creating a Beatport Chart is one of the simplest and most effective ways to promote your tracks, build visibility, and show industry credibility. Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide plus strategy tips to make the chart actually work for promotion.
✅ How to Create a Beatport Chart
1. Log into Beatport
You need a Beatport account connected to your Beatport DJ profile or label/artist page.
If you don’t have one, create a free account and make sure your artist profile is claimed.
2. Go to “My Beatport”
Once logged in:
- Click your profile icon
- Choose My Beatport
- Look for Charts in the menu and click Create Chart
3. Add a Title, Description & Cover Image
This is important because well-presented charts get more traction.
Tips:
- Title: Include your artist name and a theme (e.g., “Deep Grooves by DJ Solaris”)
- Description: Add 1–2 sentences about the vibe or purpose (e.g., “Tracks that inspired my latest release on XYZ Records.”)
- Cover Image: Use a clean, professional square image—often your artist photo or release artwork works best.
4. Select Your Tracks (10–20 tracks)
Beatport requires a minimum of 10 tracks.
Add:
✔ Your own new release(s)
✔ Tracks from artists you like
✔ Influences or complementary songs
Tip: Place your own track at #1 for visibility.
5. Publish Your Chart
Once your tracks and info look good, hit Publish.
Your chart will be visible:
- On your Beatport profile
- In Beatport’s “Charts” section
- On your Beatport Artist Page under Charts
📣 How to Promote Your Beatport Chart
Creating the chart is only half the job—promotion is what drives plays and sales.
1. Share Across Social Media
Post your chart link on:
- Instagram Stories (use “link” sticker)
- Facebook & Threads
- TikTok (“Music I’m playing this month”)
- Twitter/X
Tip: Make short videos mixing a few of the songs in your chart.
2. Add It to Your Link-in-Bio
Linktree, Beacons, or your website → add a button:
“Beatport Chart – My Top Tracks of the Month”
3. Send It to Your Email List
If you have a fanbase or DJ promo list, send a quick message:
- Your new release is out
- It’s inside your curated chart
- Invite them to check it out
4. Tag Other Artists
When you share the chart, tag the producers whose tracks you included.
Many will reshare—instant exposure to their audience.
5. Share in DJ Groups & Communities
Places like:
- Discord DJ groups
- Facebook DJ communities
- Reddit (r/Beatmatch, r/Techno, etc.)—if allowed
- WhatsApp DJ networks
6. Use It in Press Kits
Blogs and promoters love curated content:
- Add your new Beatport chart to your EPK
- Great for press articles, show promotion, and branding
