Any Spotify people here? Noticed there’s an AM role going at the moment in the UK but not sure what experience level it is. For reference I’ve got 6 years in ad sales experience with 3 years management (both in music industry). Would this be comfortable or is it worth holding out for AD?

Everyone makes mistakes—especially under pressure. What matters is how you handle them, and it sounds like you did everything right.
Straight to jail
The only way I can get past these things is to mentally reverse the roles:
What would I think of a colleague/subordinate did what I did?
What would I want that person to tell me?
* For me, actionable steps to minimize recurrence are paramount.
How would I "forgive" this in someone else?
* This is key: I WOULD forgive someone else, so I use that mindset to work on forgiving myself.

The last time I did something like this was two weeks ago, but it was the completely wrong contract and OP noticed. It’s a sloppy mistake, but it happens. You’ll be fine, and if you stay in practice long enough, you’ll make plenty more mistakes that make your current one pale (and fade from memory) in comparison.
This experience, although scary in the moment, is a GOOD thing. Making this mistake is engrained in your mind and will encourage you to double check the documents you send out (after attaching but before sending).
When I was a paralegal years ago, I accidentally made a copy/scan of the blank side of a document and just forwarded to the partner. I am now extremely careful about any attachment I send out.
Try to “fail up.” Ask what knowledge you can extract from this mistake so that you can build a better, more reliably error-free workflow.
Do you need to change your revision naming or numbering conventions? Were you incorporating revisions from several people and the sequence of edits got confused? Etc.
It happens to all of us; don't beat yourself up.
It happens. Lots of lawyers do far worse every day. Just own up to it, apologize, and move on. In a few months people probably won’t even remember.
You are a human. Humans make mistakes. Every single one, no matter how good at their job they may seem.
Just move on and never speak of it again. They will forget.
Learn from it and move on. We all make mistakes.
