Spotify Launches "DJ Now Accepts Requests" — A Revolution in Fan-Driven Exploration

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet

To improve real-time song discovery, Spotify is now testing a new feature dubbed "DJ Now Takes Requests." The feature adds a layer of crowd participation to streaming experiences by allowing users to request songs during Spotify-powered DJ sets.
