5. The Feedback Loop from Other Discovery Features

Part 2 • Higher, Sustained Thresholds for DW

Discover Weekly doesn't exist in isolation. Its recommendations are heavily influenced by your track's performance on other discovery features.

<ul> <li><strong>Release Radar:</strong> A strong performance here feeds into DW eligibility.</li> <li><strong>Radio/Autoplay:</strong> If your track performs well (low skips, high completion) on Radio and Autoplay, it signals broader appeal.</li> <li><strong>User-Generated Playlists:</strong> Tracks frequently added to these serve as strong endorsements.</li> </ul> Think of it as a continuous audition process across the platform.
