You can manage curated playlists or charts for your website using the Music Playlists app.

Creating and managing a Music Playlist
Live and Next
Music Playlists have two versions: Live and Next.
The Next playlist allows you to prepare changes to a Live playlist without it being visible to website visitors yet. When you're ready, you can replace the Live one with the Next one.
Alternatively, you don't need to use the Next playlist at all, that's fine!
When Live is replaced with Next, the 'Last' and 'Life' attributes are automatically updated.
For example, a newly added track will be marked 'New' with a life of '1'. If it is still present in the next playlist that becomes live, the track's Last will be updated to its previous chart position, and the Life will be incremented to '2'.
Layout
Each playlist must have a selected layout, which determines the properties of each track that appear and how they are displayed. We provide a default layout, but you can customise it or create a custom one if you like.
Embedding a playlist
We don't support embedding Music Playlists, so we'd recommend simply linking to the playlist's page. You can customise the content which appears above a playlist.
Custom layouts
We provide a default layout, so it's easy to get started with Music Playlists.
If you like, you can customise this layout, or create your own. This involves building HTML for each part of a playlist, using the tags we provide. We can't offer support with building custom layouts or tweaking their appearance.
