- Discover Weekly is updated with new music every Monday, with songs chosen according to the users own history and that of other users that like similar music. When your followers save your tracks to their own library, this generates even more features for you.
- Daily Mix are daily curated playlists that are based on different genres listeners have been into lately. The more styles of music a user listens to the more mixes Spotify will generate. Establishing yourself in your genre can really help you maintin a spot in your listeners Daily Mixes.
The more followers you have on Spotify, the more times someone saves your song to their queue, library, or playlists, the better your song’s chances of being added to either of these personalized playlists
