How Do I Embed a TipTop Playlist on My Blog?

Go to the Playlister Hub, open your playlist, and click 'Generate embed widget.' Pick a size and theme, copy the code, and paste it into your blog's HTML. Any visitor can play tracks in place (if logged in to TipTop) or route back to TipTop with your playlist attribution intact (if anonymous) — either way, the commission finds you.

What Is the Featured Artist Flag on a Widget?

When you configure a widget, you can flag one specific artist as featured — that artist's track plays first every time the widget loads, regardless of playlist order. It turns any article about an artist into a first impression: the reader hits play and hears exactly what the article just told them about, then your wider curation takes over.

Do Widget Plays Earn Commissions From Anonymous Visitors?

Yes. Anonymous listeners get a preview clip inside the widget, then an invite to finish the track on tiptop.music. Your playlist attribution travels with them — when they tip, the commission routes back to you. Logged-in listeners skip the redirect and play the full track in place, with tips firing from the widget itself.

How Many Embed Widgets Can I Generate From One Playlist?

Unlimited. Different widgets for a blog sidebar, a full-width article embed, a newsletter header, or a band site — different size, theme, layout, same underlying playlist. When you update the playlist, every widget everywhere updates with it. One curation, many surfaces, shared earnings.

Embed Widgets: Turn Any Article Into a Commission Engine

Here's the shortcut most playlisters miss: a share link is a one-shot event -- you post it once, it fades from the feed, and the playlist goes back to waiting. An embed widget is the same playlist, but pinned to a page that keeps generating plays for months. Your reach stops being a moment and starts being an asset.

The embed widget (available in the Playlister Hub) drops a real TipTop player into any webpage you control: your blog, an artist profile you wrote about, a magazine sidebar, your band's site, your Linktree page, an email newsletter template. And it doesn't just help discoverability -- it's directly linked to the commission economics.

The Two Earning Modes

An embed widget quietly handles two very different visitors with one piece of code:

Anonymous listener (not signed into TipTop): They see the widget in the article they came for. They click play. The widget previews a clip, then invites them to come to tiptop.music to finish the track. The playlist attribution travels with them -- when they play the full track on TipTop, it's counted as your playlist drove that play, so when they tip, the commission routes back to you. You turned a drive-by reader into a tracked listener, and the host page did the introduction for you.

Logged-in listener (TipTop account in their browser): They don't have to leave the article. The widget plays the full track in place. Tips fire from inside the widget. Your commission lands instantly, and the reader stays on the page they came for. No friction, no drop-off. The host site effectively becomes an additional surface of tiptop.music, with your playlist as the payload.

Unlimited Widgets, One Playlist at a Time

The Playlister Hub lets you generate as many widgets as you want from the same playlist. Different widget for a blog sidebar vs. a full-width article embed vs. a newsletter header. Different size, different theme, same underlying playlist. When you update the playlist, every widget everywhere updates with it -- one curation, many endpoints.

This scales without friction. Writing a music newsletter weekly? Embed a widget in each issue. Running a review blog? Drop a widget on every post. Moderating a Discord with a pinned "what we're listening to" message? Put the widget on a simple webpage and link from there. Every extra surface is a new listening channel, and they all feed the same playlist's earnings.

Featured Artist: The Hidden Superpower for Artist Articles

Here's the move nobody else offers: when you configure a widget, you can flag a specific artist as featured. Whenever that widget loads, the first track that plays is by the featured artist, no matter what order they sit in the playlist. After that, the widget flows naturally into the rest of your curation.

Why this matters: say you're writing an article about the rise of an independent artist in the Lisbon scene. You embed a playlist you've curated around that scene, and you flag the article's subject artist as featured. The reader hits play -- the article's artist opens the music. The reader is hearing exactly what the article just told them about. After that track finishes, your curation takes over and the listener discovers your wider taste. Every tip across the whole listening session routes to you as playlister commission.

It turns an article into a first impression that delivers on its promise instantly. Write once, ship the widget, and every new reader gets the same "open with the subject artist" experience.

Where to Place Widgets for Maximum Effect

Above the fold on a blog post. Especially on "best of" or scene retrospectives -- people scroll to the player, play, and keep reading.
In the sidebar of a music site. Every page view passes it. Persistent listener acquisition, zero extra work.
In a newsletter. Email clients that support embedded content play inline; the rest fall back to a cover + link to the web version.
On an artist's band site. With the artist flagged as featured, every fan who lands on the site hears the artist immediately, then discovers your adjacent curation.
On a Linktree-style page. The widget sits alongside tour dates and merch links, pulling tips while visitors browse.
