Welcome to Countdown Pages

Countdown pages are a dedicated space on the artist profile that lets fans pre-save an upcoming release, preview the track list, pre-order new merch, watch exclusive video clips, and watch the timer count down to the release moment. Countdown Pages are currently in a pilot phase and are being tested with a select group of artists. We hope to expand to more artists in the near future.

As Countdown Pages are currently in testing, we’ve not made any changes to how you deliver to Spotify. Please continue to deliver content in advance of street release date as you do today, and ensure your releases adhere to our standards for delivery. This includes delivering in line with our Metadata Style Guide and Service Level Guidelines. You can read more about them here.

Additionally, no changes will be made to how we currently support waterfall (instant grat) style releases, where tracks go live at different date/times throughout the pre-release campaign. Please continue to deliver according to our guidance for Waterfall Releases.

During the pilot, Content Operations is scoping how we handle Pre-Release content through the supply chain. We will be reaching out soon to discuss any potential delivery changes that will help power and scale Countdown Pages.

Please note Content Operations is not handling the delivery or management of Clips. For any questions related to Clips, please contact the Spotify for Artists team.
