Hints That Will Help You Skyrocket Your Single, Album Release On Spotify & TuneCore.

There is always considerable fulfillment after you finish recording a song. The process of writing a piece of music, recording, mixing, and editing involves an investment of time and resources. As such, there's a lot of enthusiasm when it's finished. Most times, artists are always impatient and desire to get the song out there for people to hear without considering how the release will be. 

After successfully recording a song, a key factor to consider is the right time to release the music on Spotify because making out the exact time to get it out for your fans to hear can be confusing. However, you don't need to be confused anymore, as here are two eye-opening tips that will help you skyrocket your single release on Spotify.

  1. DAYS TO RELEASE ON SPOTIFY

    Initially, Fridays have is known as a day meant for streaming most on Spotify, between 10 am and 3 pm. It is the most traditional day for releasing music on Spotify as they have a new music release playlist on Fridays, and that could also increase your chances of including your song on the playlist. However, it also depends on your marketing efforts and Spotify's rules. But now, the most suitable solution is for you to figure out the time your audience is engaged in your music. However, this still includes early mornings and early evenings. If you have previously released a song on Spotify, review your artist account statistics and point out what day and time best work for you.

    Furthermore, Mondays are the best days for streaming traffic. If you are an independent artist using an aggregator to distribute a new song, you can choose any day you want. But if you're using a record label, a major distributor, and having a group, Friday is favorable for you. Artists who wish to boost their chances of landing official Spotify playlists can choose Tuesdays or Wednesdays to release their songs. Also, pitching your song through the 'Spotify For Artist' portal will enable them to listen and establish their curation on the music.

  2. TIME TO RELEASE ON SPOTIFY

    Another aspect to consider before releasing a single on Spotify is time zone. Time zone is the aspect most artists overlook when distributing a new single on Spotify. However, the time differs worldwide, and for you to get everyone to listen to your song on Spotify, you must consider the critical time zone. For instance, if your new single release goes live on Spotify at 1:00 am Eastern Standard Time in the United States, at what time are your fans from other countries seeing it? So keep that in mind and consider the time zones.

    One advantage you have on Spotify now is that you can choose when your new release goes live in each time zone when you distribute to Spotify with TuneCore.

    Formerly, your Spotify new release would go live all over the time zones at the same time, which makes some people see it live at 1:00 am, some at 4:00 am, some at 7:00 am, and vice versa. But the new Timed Release outline enables all artists to choose their release time zones worldwide, which means that 1:00 am go-live time applies to every region you distribute to.

    How Spotify Time Zone Work With TuneCore?

    When uploading your new single using TuneCore, you have the choice to select the actual time your release goes live on Spotify. From there, you will be able to determine if you want that time to be the same 'go-live time' for each time zone you distribute to, or whether to set your time zone to ensure that all regions have your release live at the same time.

    Final thoughts: When your song is ready for people out there to hear, use a combination of planning synergy, and focus on finding the best time to release your single on Spotify.
