When Spotify added 15 hours of audiobook listening to their Premium plan in 2023, it introduced a whole new audience to the world of audiobooks. Now, they’re collaborating with another platform that has been converting new readers: TikTok. The popularity of BookTok has led to bookstores across the country with dedicated “Popular on TikTok” tables, and now you can find the digital version on Spotify’s new “Big on BookTok” hub.
Spotify has collaborated with TikTok to create the Big on BookTok hub, which spotlights the trending titles and authors on BookTok right now. The pilot project will run until November, and it updates with new data on the biggest titles every two weeks. It’s only available in the United States.
The hub includes several shelves, like “BookTok’s Current Obsessions,” “Hottest Authors,” and “The OGs of BookTok.”
Right now, the top audiobook titles on the “BookTok’s Current Obsessions” shelf are Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, and Yellowface by R.F. Kuang. The “Hottest Authors” include Zoe Whittall and Donna Hill.
