The hub shows personalised recommendations based on a user\u2019s listening history and is now live in the mobile app under the Search tab in the \u201cBrowse all\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new hub is powered by Spotify&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/countdown-page-for-spotify-presave\/\">Countdown Pages<\/a>. These pages give fans early access to an album\u2019s tracklist, let them listen to already released singles, and explore artist content like video clips and merch. When users pre-save an album, Spotify sends a push notification on release day and automatically adds it to the user\u2019s library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform is also showcasing the top 10 most-anticipated albums globally, using data based on pre-saves. These popular pre-release campaigns appear as \u201cCountdowns\u201d within the hub and are updated regularly to show what\u2019s generating the most excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its announcement, Spotify said: \u201cFans can easily pre-save multiple upcoming releases directly from the hub and quickly jump into Countdown Pages to preview the tracklists, stream released singles, watch Clips, find merch, and follow the countdown right up until release.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the launch of Countdown Pages in summer 2024, Spotify reports that 60% of major artists have used the feature, including Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, and Bad Bunny. Now, the Upcoming Releases hub offers an even bigger opportunity to bring visibility to these campaigns, which independent artists can also tap into. Artists with at least 5,000 active listeners over the last 28 days can set up a Countdown Page. If you&#8217;re eligible, here\u2019s how to <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/routenote-artists-can-now-start-spotify-countdown-pages\/\">create a Spotify pre-save campaign<\/a> using Countdown Pages through RouteNote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help boost visibility further, Spotify has introduced Countdown Charts. These will be shared weekly on Spotify and Spotify for Artists\u2019 social media accounts, including Instagram, TikTok, and X. Each Wednesday, the top 10 Countdown Pages with the most pre-saves will be featured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madeleine Bennett, Senior Director and Head of Global Music Go-to-Market at Spotify, said: \u201cThe Upcoming Releases hub is about celebrating what\u2019s next in music, and Countdown Charts bring a whole new level of visibility to releases that fans are most excited about. By ranking the top pre-saved releases globally, we\u2019re giving artists a powerful new way to build anticipation and connect with their biggest fans in the lead-up to release day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re releasing new music soon, make sure you\u2019re making the most of Spotify\u2019s pre-save tools and campaign features. <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\">Distribute your music<\/a> through RouteNote to access these features for free and give your upcoming release the best chance of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/\">Distribute your music to Spotify and all other major streaming platforms around the world for FREE with RouteNote.
