"As we've proven with Music and Podcasts Charts, when content is easier to access, discover, and enjoy, the demand grows. We are delighted to now bring that to audiobooks, to help provide even more ways for users, publishers, and authors to discover what's trending on Spotify, and make books more connected with culture in real time."
"The new charts are accessible to both free and paying users within the audiobooks hub. You can find them by tapping the search button in the app and selecting the Audiobooks tile to enter the hub. Then, you need to scroll down to the Dive deeper section to find the charts."
"Spotify says the new Audiobook Charts will benefit both readers and authors by giving listeners a trusted way to discover popular titles, while also creating new opportunities for authors and the publishing industry to reach wider audiences."
Spotify has introduced Audiobook Charts for the United States and United Kingdom, providing weekly rankings of top audiobooks overall and by genre. The charts are based on listening behavior and engagement metrics on the platform and are accessible to both free and premium users through the audiobooks hub. Users can access the charts by navigating to the search function, selecting the Audiobooks tile, and scrolling to the Dive Deeper section. This launch represents Spotify's continued investment in audiobooks since officially supporting the format in 2022. The company has also introduced features like Page Match, which allows users to scan physical book pages to jump to corresponding audiobook sections, and Audiobook Recaps, which provide short audio summaries of previously read content. Spotify positions the charts as beneficial for both readers seeking trusted discovery and authors seeking wider audience reach.
