Have you used your Amazon student discounts yet?
One thing about uni life is that it can get pretty hectic. You’re balancing lectures, seminars, coursework, as well as other side hustles, part-time jobs and trying to maintain a social life. When you finally get a moment to switch off and wind down, you want entertainment that’s worth your time.
That’s where Amazon’s Top Titles comes in. Each month, we’re spotlighting the biggest trending books, podcasts, films, and music that we think you’ll love right now. And the best part? It’s all available with our Amazon student discount across Prime, Audible, and Music.
Even better? You can stream, listen, or watch wherever you are – on the bus to uni, between lectures, or whilst cooking dinner in halls.

Amazon Music student discount: Three months FREE for a limited time.
Amazon Audible student discount: 30-day free trial, then £8.99/month.

Here are the top titles students shouldn’t miss this April:

Our Amazon Music picks
If your study playlists need a refresh, Amazon Music’s three-month free offer is the perfect excuse to dive into something new. Here’s our top picks for this month (and also one of the most-streamed albums on Amazon Music right now):
RAYE – The Music May Contain Hope
If your playlist needs something with real depth, RAYE’s The Music May Contain Hope is one to queue up.
Designed as a journey through the four seasons, the album splits its 17 tracks into emotional chapters. The Autumn/Winter phase leans into darker, more introspective sounds, with the raw jazz and blues style RAYE is known for. Then it shifts into Spring/Summer, where the energy lifts into something lighter, more hopeful, and full of soaring production.
It’s the kind of album that works whether you’re in your feelings or trying to find a bit of motivation during a long study session.
BTS – Arirang
BTS return with Arirang, a 14-track album that feels both personal and powerful.
The record focuses on resilience, unity, and the group’s journey, blending high-energy tracks with more reflective moments. There’s also a strong connection to their roots, alongside collaborations with producers like Diplo and Kevin Parker.
If you want something that balances energy with meaning, this is an easy add to your rotation.
Noah Kahan – The Great Divide
If you’re deep into revision mode, Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide might be exactly what you need.
Following the success of Stick Season, this new release leans into his signature folk-pop sound – emotional, reflective, and very easy to have on repeat during long library sessions.
It lands on Thursday, 24th April, making it perfectly timed for finals season.
Our Amazon Audible picks
Who doesn’t love a good audiobook? Whether you’re walking (or running) to your next lecture or doing a quick food shop, audiobooks are the easiest way to keep up with the latest reads – hands-free.
And with the Amazon Audible student discount, you can start listening with a 30-day free trial. Hereare a couple of reads/listens we recommend you start playing:
King of Gluttony – Ana Huang
If your TikTok feed is full of book recommendations, you’ve probably already seen the Kings of Sin series pop up.
King of Gluttony is the next instalment — and it’s set to take over #BookTok. As book six in the series, it continues the dark, spicy romantasy storyline that’s made these books so addictive.
It’s the kind of listen you’ll want queued up for your commute or a break from revision, especially if you’re after something immersive and a little escapist.
The audiobook drops on Monday 28th April.
Eldritch
If dark fantasy and cosmic horror are more your thing, Eldritch delivers eerie storytelling and immersive world-building that pulls you straight into the unknown.
This second instalment in The Eating Woods Trilogy, this explores cosmic horror, supernatural forces, and the unsettling idea that some knowledge is better left undiscovered.
Early readers have given the book a 4.4-star rating, with many saying it’s a powerful continuation of the series.
It’s also arriving at a time when immersive reading is trending – where people listen to the audiobook while reading the physical copy – making this release one to watch when it landed recently on Monday, 31st March. A great late-night listen for those who fancy a darker twist on fantasy.
Our Amazon Prime picks
Between assignments and deadlines, sometimes you just need a solid series to unwind with. Luckily, the Amazon Prime student discount unlocks a huge library of TV and films right at your fingertips.
Right now, students can get six months free Prime, then 50% off – just £4.49 a month. Here’s what everyone’s watching this month:
The Boys
The Boys returns for its fifth and final season, wrapping up the ongoing battle between Butcher and Homelander.
If you’ve followed the series so far, you’ll know what to expect — brutal, over-the-top action mixed with dark comedy. This final chapter is rolling out weekly over six weeks, starting Tuesday, 8th April.
It’s not one to casually dip into, but if you’re already invested, this is a must-watch.
Kevin
For something a bit different, Kevin offers a more offbeat watch.
Written by and starring Aubrey Plaza, the series follows a cat navigating life in a pet rescue in Queens after its owners split up. It’s loosely inspired by real events, blending humour with more reflective moments.
If you’re after something lighter but still a bit quirky, this is worth adding to your list when it drops on Sunday, 20th Arpil.
Tuesday night Champions League fixtures
Football fans: this one’s for you.
If football is part of your weekly routine, Amazon Prime also streams one top-pick Champions League match every round, usually the biggest Tuesday night fixture.
Throughout April's Round of 16 for the Champions League, you’ll be able to watch one major match each week, included with your Prime membership.
Top teams like Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are all pushing deep into the competition. So basically it’s a great excuse to gather your housemates and turn your living room into match night.
Stay tuned for what's to come next month – and remember to take advantage of your Amazon student discount offers today.
