Summer Update: 200K Submissions & Bug Fixes
I hope you're all getting some sun and inspiration wherever you're at (and if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, I hope winter is treating you kindly!). We've been busy making music, squashing bugs, and sanding down some rough edges in the Playlist Partner code. Plus, we have a milestone to celebrate!
First, we've addressed several bugs that you’ve reported, including:
"Back to Playlists" now correctly returns you to the right page every time.
Sorting by Most Recent no longer gives inconsistent orders.
New Labels clearly marking playlists as "Added Today," "Added Yesterday," and "Added This Week". This helps both curators showcase their new playlists and artists discover fresh opportunities more easily.
Second, we just crossed 200,000 successful submissions! Huge thanks to you legends: artists and curators alike, for connecting, sharing your music, and making the platform thrive. We're also onboarding more new playlists than ever, giving you even more chances to get your music heard.
Whether you're enjoying the warmth or staying cozy indoors, have a fantastic August. Here's to good music being written and many more successful artist-curator connections!
