Spotify has introduced a new “Listening stats” feature which shows users their most listened-to artists and tracks from the past four weeks. The listening stats refresh every 24 hours, meaning users can get insights about their music history according to the latest data every day. The feature is available to free and premium users in over 60 countries.
Users get a playlist that is inspired by the songs that they love or the ones that they might want to queue up next. They also get suggestions based on their personalized playlists with the option for “More like your top artists/songs”.
The feature also includes weekly special highlights that capture milestones, new discoveries, or unique fan moments. The weekly stats can also be shared in messages or social media posts via apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and others.
“This new feature shows your top artists and songs from the past four weeks, and it serves up playlists inspired by what you love or tracks you might want to queue up next. Each week, it also includes a special highlight that captures what makes your listening unique, whether it’s a milestone, a new discovery, or a fan moment,” Spotify wrote in a blog post.
The new Listening Stats feature is different from Spotify Wrapped, which gives users a personalized recap of their music and podcast listening habits from the start of the year till October or November and is released once a year.
How to use Spotify Listening Stats?
Open the Spotify app on your phone or website.
Tap on your profile icon on the top left corner.
You should now see the “Listening Stats” icon.
Apart from seeing your listening history, you will also see the option of sharing it internally (to other Spotify users) or externally via social media apps.
