Spotify launches the equivalent of Product Hunt's Coming Soon page!

“The Upcoming Releases hub is about celebrating what’s next in music, and Countdown Charts bring a whole new level of visibility to releases that fans are most excited about,” said @madelaine_bennett , Senior Director, Head of Global Music Go-to-Market. “By ranking the top pre-saved releases globally, we’re giving artists a powerful new way to build anticipation and connect with their biggest fans in the lead-up to release day.”

❗️ We used to be a Spotify user but gave it up because of the incredibly frustrating family plan policy. If your family members are in different countries — say, a husband goes on a business trip — the wife suddenly can’t use the plan anymore. The app just blocks access, claiming “different addresses,” and no VPN makes a difference. It feels like an outdated, artificial restriction that doesn’t fit the way people live today.

✅We found a simple fix: dropped Spotify completely and switched to Apple Music, which doesn’t have this kind of issue.
