That's because it introduced Promo Cards, a new feature anyone can use to create custom assets to share on social media.
Promo Cards is a new Spotify feature primarily aimed at artists and creators, although it can easily be used by anyone.
Promo Cards are easily customizable graphics that you can share on social media to promote an artist, their songs, their album, or when they've been featured on a popular playlist.
Some eligible playlists include African Heat, Hot Country, Just Good Music, Pop Rising, Today's Top Hits and Viva Latino.
You can also create a promo card for a podcast show or episode. Spotify continues to make a name for itself in the podcast world, as shown by features such as podcast playlists for easy discovery.
These promo cards can be shared on places like Twitter and Instagram as the creator tool allows you to easily change the size of the graphic.
To create your own design, simply head over to the special Promo Cards website.
The site does not require any login and is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and German.
First, choose whether you want to create a promotional card for an artist or a podcaster. If you choose the former, you can switch between a specific artist, album, or song. For the latter, you can choose between a show or an episode.
Once selected, enter your search term in the field and click the Search button button to start the process.
On the next screen, confirm your selection in the right pane and click on Customize .
First, change the background color of the chart (from a small preset of choices generated to complement the artist or album artwork).
Second, switch to Size tab to choose between Portrait , Landscape , or Square .
When you're happy with your customizations, click Share . From there you can download the static image, copy the URL and share it directly on Twitter and Facebook.
With promo cards, it's now easier than ever to share your love of artists and podcasters with the world.
However, you can take it a step further by using Spotify's group session feature. This lets you listen to Spotify with your friends and family online, even when you're not in the same place.
