How does ordering saves work?
- Copy the link. In Spotify tap Share, then Copy link. A song link contains /track/, an album /album/, a playlist /playlist/.
- Choose the size and tier. One package per link. For an EP you can send the album link or add a package for each track.
- Paste the link and pay. No password and no Spotify for Artists invite. Delivery then runs for the days shown next to your package.
Where do new saves show up?
It depends on what you sent. A playlist shows its save count in the header to anyone who opens it, so that's where the order lands in plain view. Tracks and albums don't show saves publicly. You see them in Spotify for Artists: open Music, then Songs, and the Saves column sits next to streams and listeners.
Do saves help a song get picked up by Spotify?
They make a release look looked after. A curator, a booker or a label checking your stats sees saves next to streams, and a single with thousands of plays but almost no saves reads like music people skipped.
What saves won't do on their own is decide where a song lands. Release Radar goes out to people who follow you. Editorial playlists start with a pitch in Spotify for Artists at least seven days before release day. Discover Weekly is built from listening habits, so a save count with no plays around it carries little weight there. That's why about one save order in seven here also includes Spotify plays for the same song.
What a year of save orders shows
- About four orders in ten send a playlist link, three in ten a track and one in ten an album.
- Playlist owners mostly take the standard card. Artists lean toward Premium for singles: close to half of Premium orders are a track link.
- 100 saves is the most common size, about a third of orders, then 1,000 at roughly one in five.
- Three save orders in four contain nothing else. Followers come along in about one in fourteen, monthly listeners in about one in sixteen.
- April, May, August and September are the busiest months. June and November are the quietest.
Who orders saves, and when to skip them
It fits if you run a playlist and the header still shows a few dozen saves while you pitch it, you have a single out this week and want the Saves column to move along with streams, or you want an album to look listened to in its first days.
Skip it if the song isn't out yet, because packages here take live links only. If the empty number is on your artist profile, Spotify followers are what people see there, and the figure under your name is monthly listeners. For a release week with plays, followers and saves in one order, Spotify Basic bundles 3,000 plays, 150 followers and 150 saves for $12, and the rest sits with all Spotify promotion services.
After you pay
Keep the playlist, track or album public and the link unchanged until delivery ends. A playlist switched to private or deleted stops the order. If part of an order isn't delivered for a reason on our side, we refund that part under our refund policy.
Not sure where to start? Put 100 saves for $2 on the playlist or single you're sharing this week and see how the number reads.
