New Release Pre-save

Speak to your label or distributor to generate a pre-save

What is it

Pre-save allows fans to save your upcoming release before it's out, so it automatically appears in their library on release day.

Why it matters

Pre-saves signal demand to Spotify's algorithm and can boost your chances of playlist placement. It also ensures day-one streams from your most engaged fans.

How to do it

  1. Contact your distributor or label about pre-save options
  2. Create a pre-save link using their tools
  3. Promote the link on social media before release
  4. Track pre-save numbers in your distributor dashboard
