In the following situation, which of the three prepositions would you use?
A friend of yours makes you listen to a song that you like so much you say:
This goes straight on my playlist.
Now my question is, is on the right preposition to use here? Or should be onto or to?
It depends.
I would say that the following seems more frequent for your example:
this goes straight to my playlist
If you are adding something, you may say:
add this track to my playlist.
If you are telling that some track isn't there, you may say:
this is not on my playlist.
onto is generally used when there's a physical movement.
The jockey jumped onto the horse.
