9. Increased Playlistability and Saves

Part 2 • How the Waterfall Strategy Compounds Momentum

Each new release in the Waterfall provides a fresh opportunity for listeners to save your tracks and add them to their personal playlists. As the same ISRC is carried over, all these saves and playlist adds directly contribute to the individual track's Popularity Score. This further strengthens the signals sent to Spotify's algorithms, indicating high listener intent and value, which are crucial for broader algorithmic recommendations.
