Introducing Discover Weekly: Your Ultimate Personalised Playlist @SpotifySA #SpotifySouthAfrica

Hi Friends,

Spotify has now launched its famous personalised playlist ‘Discover Weekly’ in South Africa. Updated every Monday morning, Discover Weekly brings you a custom-made, 30-song playlist explicitly tailored to your musical taste to help you find your next favourite artist.

Spotify users will receive a Discover Weekly playlist automatically - all you need to do is continue listening to the music you love on Spotify. Spotify will create a playlist of new music and artists based on your listening habits: the playlists you have created, the tracks you’ve skipped or loved and how frequently you listen to a specific track or artist.

Discover Weekly will also include tracks based on what fans with similar music tastes are enjoying right now. This means every song in Discover Weekly is based both on your own listening as well as what others are playlisting and listening to around the songs you love - making your playlist wholly unique but full of deep cuts and new discoveries.

It’s like having your best friend make you a personalised mixtape every single week.

As your music taste evolves, so will Discover Weekly, in fact, the more you listen, the better it gets to know you. Because it’s a playlist, you can access and listen to across all your platforms and devices, finding great new music for your Monday commute has never been better.

“High Fidelity’s Rob Gordon had it right - the making of a mixtape is a very subtle art. That’s why we created Discover Weekly,” says Gustav Söderström, VP of Product at Spotify. “There’s never been a simpler, more personalised way to discover music, with every playlist tuned just to you every single week.” 

Discover Weekly is refreshed with new music every week, so remember to save your new favourites to a playlist before the end of the week.

How Discover Weekly works: Listen to the music you love on Spotify. Spotify will create a playlist of new music and artists based on your listening habits: the playlists you have created, the tracks you’ve skipped or loved and how frequently you listen to a specific track or artist. This new personalised playlist will be served fresh to you each Monday.

Your Discover Weekly playlist is made even better the more you create your own playlists - to get you started here are some simple tips on creating a playlist:

• Click New Playlist in the menu on the left.
• Give your playlist a name (description and cover image optional) and click Create.
• Add a track
• Right-click a track and select Add to Playlist.
• Select a playlist.
• Note: You can also drag and drop the track to a playlist.
• Find excellent playlist recommendations for any occasion with Genres & Moods, located under Browse.
• It's time for Spotify to soundtrack your week. Who knows what you’ll find?

@SpotifySA Launched In #SouthAfrica #SpotifySouthAfrica #MusicStreaming #SpotifyPremium

Hi Friends,

Spotify, the largest global music streaming subscription service, officially launched in South Africa, offering a revolutionary and unrivaled music experience tuned to your personal taste.

With a worldwide community of over 159 million music fans, Spotify offers users the choice of a free ad-supported service or an ad-free Premium subscription service. Users can listen for free forever, or alternatively can upgrade to Spotify Premium for the ultimate Spotify experience for only R59.99 per month*.

Spotify allows you to browse, discover, curate playlists, build your own music collection and share music with friends. With a catalog of over 35 million songs all available to both free users and subscribers, Spotify comes to South Africa offering the very best in both local and international music.

“Spotify is very excited to announce our launch in South Africa today. We have had the continent in our sights for a while and are finally able to offer South African fans access to all the music they already love on Spotify, while helping them to enjoy, discover and share new music from both local and international artists simply and easily,” said Michael Krause, Spotify MD, EMEA.

The best playlists
Spotify delivers music for every taste and mood. South African users have instant access to a wide range of local playlists expertly curated and regularly updated by our team of music experts, including Hip Hop Juice, Top Hits South Africa, House Nation, iGqom Le and SA Gold, alongside millions of Spotify and fan-built international playlists.

Unique music personalization and discovery features
A major feature of the Spotify service is its personalization, which allows fans to find the music they already love with ease, and will also help them discover new music and artists to love, based on their taste and listening patterns. When a new user joins Spotify, we take them through a ‘Taste Onboarding’ process, which helps Spotify quickly learn more about your music tastes.

Personalised discovery features including Daily Mix (a series of playlists combining your favourite tracks with new songs we think you’ll love), Release Radar (a playlist of new music based on the artists you follow and listen to most, updated every Friday) and Discover Weekly (a playlist based on your unique listening habits - coming soon) mean you’re never more than a moment away from the music you love.
