Never miss Spotify new releases
Spotify has Release Radar, the Following feed, and your Home page for surfacing new music. Each one shows you some of it. Tracknack doesn't cap or pick: new releases from every artist and label you follow go into one playlist.

Where Spotify new releases fall through the cracks
Spotify has several ways to surface new music. Each one has gaps.
Release Radar
~30 tracks/weekA weekly playlist of ~30 tracks from artists you follow and algorithmic suggestions. Updates every Friday.
Capped at ~30 tracks. If you follow a lot of artists, most releases don't make the list. Includes sponsored and editorial picks.
Following feed
Artists onlyA feed of new releases from artists you follow, under Home > Music > Following in the mobile app. Spotify's help pages point here now instead of the old What's New feed.
Artists only, no labels. It's a feed you have to open and scroll, not a playlist, and Spotify doesn't say how far back it goes.
Home & Browse
AlgorithmicSpotify's Home page and Browse section surface new music through algorithmic personalization and editorial playlists.
Favors popular artists and genres you already listen to. No guarantee it'll show a specific release from someone you follow.
How they compare
Spotify's two main discovery features and Tracknack — side by side.
What Tracknack does differently
Instead of filtering new releases through an algorithm, Tracknack watches everyone you follow and puts their new releases in one playlist.
All your follows, not a curated 30
Tracknack checks every artist and label you follow and adds their new releases to a Spotify playlist. No algorithmic selection, no weekly cap, no sponsored tracks.
Track labels, not just artists
Spotify has no way to follow a record label. If you're into a label's output, you have to manually check their page or hope the algorithm picks it up. Tracknack lets you follow any label and adds their new releases to your playlist automatically.
Follow producers via album credits
A lot of the people behind the music you love don't have their own Spotify profile. Tracknack uses album credits from Discogs to find new releases involving producers, songwriters, and engineers you follow.
One playlist, always current
Instead of checking multiple Spotify surfaces and hoping you didn't miss anything, Tracknack delivers everything to a single playlist in your Spotify account. Pick your update frequency and get an email when new tracks arrive.
A realistic example
You follow 150 artists and 20 labels. On any given Friday, maybe 8 of those artists release something new, plus 3 label releases from artists you've never heard of.
Release Radar
Shows you 4 of the 8 artist releases. The other 4 didn't make the cut, and the label releases don't show up at all because Spotify doesn't track labels.
Following feed
Lists the artist releases, but you forgot to open it last Tuesday.
With Tracknack, those releases land in one playlist. No checking, no hoping the algorithm picked them.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I keep missing new releases on Spotify?
Spotify surfaces new releases through Release Radar, the Following feed, and your Home feed — but none of them show you everything. Release Radar picks about 30 tracks a week. The Following feed only covers artists you follow, and you have to open it and scroll. Home is algorithmic and skips smaller artists. If you follow a lot of artists, releases fall through the cracks.
How does Tracknack track Spotify new releases?
You follow artists, producers, and labels on Tracknack. Whenever they release new music, Tracknack detects it and adds it to a playlist in your Spotify account automatically. You can also get an email notification. Unlike Release Radar, Tracknack doesn't pick or cap the number of tracks.
Can I track new releases from a record label?
Yes. Tracknack lets you follow record labels and automatically adds their new releases to your playlist. Spotify doesn't offer label following at all — you'd have to check each label's page or playlist manually.
How is Tracknack different from Spotify's What's New and Following feeds?
Spotify now points people to its Following feed (Home > Music > Following on mobile) instead of the old What's New feed. Both show releases from artists you follow, but you have to open them and scroll, and neither tracks labels or producers. Tracknack adds new releases to a permanent Spotify playlist so nothing expires, and lets you follow labels and producers too.
How quickly do new releases show up in my playlist?
Tracknack checks for new releases on a schedule you control — hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. The free plan runs weekly. Paid plans let you pick the frequency, so daily or hourly gets you same-day updates.
Is Tracknack free?
In the free version you can follow up to 30 artists or labels. There's also a 14-day free trial to give you time to try Tracknack's full functionality.
