\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your new song or albums is coming out soon… you’re knee-deep in prep for release day… but then this:<\/p>\n

To set up your Pre-Save, you need a UPC, ISRC or Spotify URI?! \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n

Where do you get them?<\/p>\n

And which one gets the best results?<\/p>\n

Let’s dive into it…<\/p>\n

\u200bWhen you create a Pre-Save and your music hasn’t been released yet, there’s no URL to link to. That means you need to identify your music in a different way.<\/p>\n

You may be able to request a Spotify URI for your unreleased track from your distributor. But there’s an easier and much faster way…<\/p>\n

That’s where UPC<\/strong> (Universal Product Code) and ISRC<\/strong> (International Standard Recording Code) come into play…<\/p>\n

These are typically assigned to your music automatically by your distributor. You can look them up in your online account from your distributor.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to think “well, those are just different codes for the same music?”… but far from it.<\/p>\n

These codes do different things!<\/p>\n

A UPC code identifies your RELEASE<\/strong>… that means your entire product that is being released (for example an album, an EP, or a single)<\/p>\n

ISRC codes identify specific TRACKS<\/strong> inside your release.<\/p>\n

(Let’s say you release a 3-track EP. You will get one UPC code that identifies the EP. And you will get three ISRC codes. One for each individual track).<\/em><\/p>\n

Both UPC and ISRC codes let you create a Pre-Save… but they give you very different results in Spotify!<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 If you use an ISRC code to create your Pre-Save, fans will save your TRACK to their Liked Songs playlist<\/strong> in Spotify.<\/p>\n

You can see these Saves you’re getting for your track in your Spotify For Artists account.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc49 If you use a UPC code to create your Pre-Save, fans will NOT save your track!<\/p>\n

Instead, they will save your RELEASE to the Albums folder in their library in Spotify<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is a big difference… and you CAN’T see these Saves you’re getting for your release in your Spotify For Artists account (see pic below).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So if your goal is to boost your track with pre-saves, use an ISRC code!<\/p>\n

This is especially true if your release is a single with just one track on it.<\/p>\n

If you want to boost your EP or album, use a UPC code.<\/p>\n

Just consider that Pre-Saves for releases are typically less effective since your music does NOT go into your fans’ popular Liked Songs playlist on Spotify.<\/p>\n

For best results, I recommend using an ISRC code for your Pre-Save!<\/p>\n
