Why Is The Release Date Different On My Spotify For Artists ?

If you’ve noticed that your release date on Spotify for Artists seems to be planned a day before what you expected, don’t worry! It’s not a bug or anything to worry about.


Spotify uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to ensure a simultaneous global release, so your music can go live on the same day everywhere in the world. This simply means that Spotify is showing you when your release will go live in the earliest global time zone (e.g., New Zealand). 

Although it may seem like the release date was moved to a day before, it’s just an indication that your audience will get access to your music all around the world! 🌎
