Why a feature in Pitchfork matters
Pitchfork's influence is disproportionate to its traffic because of who reads it. A piece there is read by the people who book, sign and write about artists, and it carries into other coverage: critics read Pitchfork before they write. For an artist it is a position in the critical conversation rather than simply exposure.
- Musicians and bands, particularly independent
- Labels and managers building an artist's case
- Artists with a release to carry
About Pitchfork
Pitchfork has reviewed music since 1996 and remains the most argued-about critical voice in the field. Its scores and its Best New Music designation move conversations in a way no other outlet's do, and it is read by musicians, labels and other critics as much as by listeners.

Questions about Pitchfork
01How do I get featured in Pitchfork?
You choose Pitchfork as your outlet, share your story through our questionnaire, and our editorial team writes your feature. You approve every word before it goes live, and we handle the placement from there.
02What exactly do I get with Pitchfork?
A written feature about you, published on Pitchfork and permanently indexed, which you approve before it goes live. We do not state whether it runs as ordinary editorial or in a branded section, because that varies by outlet and we would rather say nothing than tell you something we have not confirmed. Ask us and we will tell you what we know.
03How long does it take?
It depends on the publication. Each outlet runs on its own publishing schedule, and timing also depends on how quickly the draft is approved. The timeframe for your chosen publication is set out in your service agreement.
04What if I am not happy with the draft?
You get unlimited revisions. We only publish once you are fully satisfied, and our work is backed by a money-back guarantee.
05How many monthly visitors does Pitchfork have?
About 9.9 million visits a month, according to figure from our placement catalogues checked in September 2026. That is traffic to the whole site, not the readership of any single article.
