Latest update: new ways of promotion for artists and songwriters

Artists are now able to pay to promote their works on Spotify’s Home Feed. The newly-launched tool Showcase allows artists to create customized mobile cards to introduce their songs, which will be displayed on listeners’ mobile Home Screen as sponsored recommendation. By default, the recommendation will be shown to a broad audience, but it can also be customized to target certain types of audience. The minimum budget of this promotion is 100 dollars.
