Spotify is continuing its push into the world of books with a new Audiobook Charts discovery feature. The feature is available to explore starting today in the United States and United Kingdom for both free and paid Spotify users.
Audiobook Charts
Audiobook Charts for the U.S. and U.K. are now accessible to Free and Premium users within the Audiobooks hub.
How to Find the Charts in the Spotify App
- Tap Search.
- Select the “Audiobooks” tile to enter the hub.
- Scroll down to the “Dive deeper” shelf to find the charts.
Spotify hopes the new Audiobook Charts will serve as a directory for discovering new audiobook titles on the service:
“This launch is designed to benefit the entire audiobook ecosystem. For book lovers, charts provide a trusted guide to the titles people are listening to right now. For authors and the publishing industry, they create opportunities for books to be discovered, helping stories reach new audiences and build lasting fandom.”
You can view the new Audiobook Charts hub online without signing in to get an idea of what to expect.
