If you have the Priority Release extra eMastered lets you pick a specific time for your music to go live on Spotify. You can even opt for a worldwide release that happens simultaneously across all countries. Note: If you set your release for 12:00 AM EST (New York time), some regions may still be on the previous calendar day.
For instance, when it’s midnight in New York, it’s only 11 PM in Mexico City — meaning your release will technically drop a day earlier there.
Spotify uses the earliest time zone where your release becomes available to determine and display the date. So even though it may seem like your music went live early, it’s actually being released exactly when you scheduled it — just adjusted for global time zones.
