How to Get More Pre-Saves Before Your Music Release

Build excitement before release day and increase your first-day streams.

Most artists start promoting their music after it's released.

That's already too late.

The artists getting the biggest first-day numbers usually spend weeks building hype before release day. One of the easiest ways to do that is by collecting pre-saves.

If you're distributing your release with SunoDistro, planning your promotion before release day gives your song a much stronger launch.

🎯 What Is a Pre-Save?

A pre-save lets fans save your upcoming release before it becomes available. When the release goes live, it automatically appears in their Spotify library.

🚀 Why Pre-Saves Matter

📈 Better Launch

More listeners on day one.

🔥 More Buzz

People talk about your upcoming release.

🎧 Higher Engagement

Fans are already waiting before release day.

📅 Start Promoting Early

Dont wait until release day.

  • Start posting 2–3 weeks before release.
  • Upload short teaser videos.
  • Show behind-the-scenes clips.
  • Reveal your artwork.
  • Share the story behind the song.

  • Ignoring TikTok and Shorts.
  • Posting without asking people to pre-save.
  • Starting promotion one day before release.

🏆 Final Thoughts

The biggest mistake alot of artists make is thinking good music sells itself.

It doesnt.

People need to know your song exists before they can stream it.

Use your pre-release period wisely. Build excitement, stay active and give fans a reason to look forward to release day.
