You asked, we listened. We're happy to announce that we've integrated smart links into MusicHub!

Please be aware: in terms of terminology, in the MusicHub app, we won't differentiate between pre-save/smart links. To keep it simple we will refer to this feature as a "smart link".

What is a pre-save link?

A pre-save link allows your fans to pre-select your release in their Spotify, Apple Music, or Deezer account. Through this function, fans can save your track before it goes live, making it automatically added to their library on the release day and also appears in their Release Radar on Spotify. On top of that, they become followers of your artist page.

Please note: Pre-save links are only supported by Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, TIDAL and YouTube Music - if none of these stores are selected for distribution, you will only receive a smart link on the release date.

If you share the pre-save link with your fans you don't have to worry about anything else. Your pre-save link will automatically convert into a smart link on the release date. The URL stays exactly the same.

What is a smart link?

A smart link contains all the links to your release to the various platforms you have chosen for your release. One URL which you can easily share with your fans and on social media so that everyone can access your music via their Streaming & Download Platform of choice.

When and how can I expect my link?

We will send this link to you via email as soon as your release has been approved by our team. It will also be displayed in the release card as well as in the release details:
