Amazon Music Launches Fan Groups Beta in Canada for In-App Community Listening

Amazon is piloting social discovery inside its music app in Canada ahead of a wider rollout next year.

Overview

  • The feature is live in beta for Canadian users on iOS and Android, with access through the app’s Find tab.
  • More than 30 public communities are seeded across genres including indie rock, country, Punjabi, K-pop, and Francophone music.
  • Members can post, chat, and stream songs shared in a group, with a dedicated Music tab and a play button to hear all recommendations without leaving the chat.
  • Artists can join or start groups to share content and interact directly with fans.
  • Anyone can create a group, with admin controls to mute members and delete messages plus user tools to report content or block others, and Amazon plans U.S. and international expansion beginning in 2026.
