Spotify is adding a Following feed for podcasts
Spotify is adding some new podcast-focused features to its mobile app to make it easier to help you keep track of podcasts you follow and more easily discover new ones.
If Spotify is your main podcast app, the new Following feed the company is introducing might be a welcome change. In a blog post, the company acknowledges that finding the latest episodes of podcasts you follow 'has proved to be challenging,' so the new Following feed brings 'gives you a dedicated place to catch all the latest releases from the podcasts you follow – all in one easy-to-access feed within your main Podcast feed on Home.'
The company is also adding podcast recommendations right into your Home feed. 'Just below your shortcuts, you'll start seeing recommendations for podcasts and video podcasts ready to be played or saved, making exploring new shows and episodes easier and more immersive,' Spotify says. Spotify might also add a 'quick note' about why it recommended some podcasts 'to help make bold picks feel more accessible.'
The app is getting some creator-focused features, too. Creators will be able to link to content they talk about in their shows that's also on Spotify with a new 'In this episode' section that will appear on episode pages. This feature is rolling out 'in the coming weeks.' Spotify is also adding threaded replies and emoji reactions to comments.

Fleetwood Mac Reaches A New Career Peak With A Decades-Old Classic
Rumours made music history when Fleetwood Mac released the collection back in 1977. The pop-rock effort was heralded as a critical triumph at the time, as well as a commercial juggernaut, and it is now regarded as one of the greatest albums ever. In the decades since it dropped, the project has remained a behemoth — one that has enjoyed a second life once the music industry shifted from pure purchases to streaming platforms. Rumours and its many hit singles began performing well across all consumption metrics, as Americans keep buying the set in addition to listening to it on streaming sites. As the beloved title approaches its half-century birthday, it is still climbing to new highs on the Billboard rankings in the U.S. This week, Rumours appears on half a dozen Billboard charts dedicated to full-lengths and EPs. Its performance is mixed, and it only manages to climb on one of them – but on that roster, the set soars to a new all-time peak. On that one list, Rumours jumps from No. 35 to No. 30 on the Top Streaming Albums ranking, which focuses exclusively on the projects that rack up the most plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. Fleetwood Mac has only sent one set to the Top Streaming Albums chart, so every time Rumours hits a new peak, the band does as well. The full-length pushes to its never-before-seen high point 34 frames into its time on the tally. Rumours is largely holding steady in the U.S., even as it climbs on the Top Streaming Albums ranking. This frame, it continues to appear on the Billboard 200, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, and Top Rock Albums lists, not budging an inch on any of them. At the same time, it declines — but only slightly — on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts. While Rumours has only spent a few months on the Top Streaming Albums chart, it has racked up years on every other list on which it appears. Fleetwood Mac's collection has spent the most time on the Billboard 200, where it's up to 634 stays. It has already passed more than 400 frames on all of the other rosters.
