Tiedoksi Spotifylta: Similar to the last few years, Spotify will be closed from Mon, Oct 26th through Fri, Oct 30th, in observation of a ”Wellness Week,” giving all employees an extra week of paid time off to recharge. We understand the industry doesn’t stop and we want to make sure we are the best partners to you and that we plan in advance accordingly. On Call – all of our staff will be off the week of Wellness Week; however, we acknowledge there are sometimes business critical operational issues that arise that need to be addressed. If that is the case, please email oncallnordics@spotify.com with your respective ALP on copy and we will do our best to handle. This is only for emergencies. Important note: Please ensure all content is uploaded into the system well in advance so our team has sufficient time to prepare. Please also note that fewer playlists than usual will be updated during this period. We kindly ask that you direct any questions or requests to oncallnordics@spotify.com and your ALP representative. And as always; do not call, text, or reach out to editors directly. Your respective ALP rep is always your first point of contact, regardless of the ask. Finally, make sure to add the focus track URI in Coda for all releases, separate artists with individual chips when there are multiple artists, and that artist URIs are separated by commas, and make sure all releases are submitted in good time there as well. Release Planning Deadlines: Planning and Delivery Timeline – By EOD Mon, 10/19, we encourage you to provide us with your updated release timelines for Friday, 10/30, Friday, 11/6 and everything in between. Please deliver music as soon as possible to ensure there are no hiccups with ingestion (your central ops teams have been in touch with our ops team). Please plan this with your day to day contact. Playlisting – There will be a reduced playlist update schedule during this time. Key playlists will be updated during Wellness Week and will resume with normal programming on Monday, November 2. Wellness Week Key Dates: Wellness Week: Oct 26–30 Deadline for updated release info: Monday, 10/19 (for releases through Fri, 11/6) Thank you for your understanding and partnership! Best, Anton
