The 9th Annual What's In-Store Music
Holiday Program
Is Officially Open For Business

It's time to submit your songs for the 9th Annual What's In-Store Music Holiday Program. That's right, it's time. Programmers are already hard at work, curating their In-Store Holiday Playlists and they've asked us to start sending music up for this year's program. Our holiday program has a little something for everybody, classics, covers, and original arrangements. This is a great opportunity for independent and major-label artists alike. But don't take my word for it, below are four artists who've participated in the past and are back again this year! Trust us, Train, Sia, for King & Country, and Barry Manilow wouldn't be returning this year if they didn't feel the benefits. To learn more about it, click the blue button below, to submit your song, go ahead and hit the red one, but do it soon. Slots are filling up fast.

"Shake Up Christmas"

SIA

"Santa's Coming For Us"

Submitting A Song
VS. Looking For Feedback

There seems to be some confusion when submitting a song with us, and we wanted to clarify it. When you fill out the submission form and hit submit, you give us the go-ahead to engage the music programmers and to place your song. This isn't the place to send it if you are seeking feedback. For that, you can email, Scott at Scott@whatsin-storemusic.com, and we'll be more than happy to review it and provide any recommendations to help ensure that when the time comes, we can get it successfully placed. We look forward to hearing what you've got and helping you expose it to the masses through What's In-Store Music.

What's In-Store Music has added a new Spotify playlist called What's In-Store Music Hits The Gym. It features the fantastic artists and songs placed in the Planet Fitness program. Please enjoy responsibly.

“Working with Joe and Julia on ‘Thick Of It All’ has been a dream come true. The song’s lyrics celebrate overcoming challenges and supporting one another, and I believe we’ve captured that spirit in the production as well. It’s an honor and a humbling experience to collaborate with such legendary artists and songwriters. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!” - Alan Walker
