Spotify is introducing weekly listening stats, giving you a closer look at your music habits
Spotify’s latest ‘Listening Stats’ feature introduces a more regular breakdown of your listening activity.
As Wrapped season approaches, Spotify is rolling out a new tool that gives you even deeper insights into your listening habits. The streaming giant has launched a new feature called ‘Listening Stats’, giving users weekly and monthly insights into their listening habits, rather than having to wait for the end-of-year Wrapped reveal.
What does the feature include?
Spotify’s new feature highlights your top artists and songs from the past four weeks, alongside playlists inspired by what you’ve been listening to or what you might want to check out next. On top of that, users receive a sharable graphic showing milestones, discoveries, or a fan moment every week, from the past week’s listening.
These highlights can then be shared directly from Spotify to friends in the app’s new messaging feature, or onto platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp.
How to access your Spotify Listening Stats
Checking your Spotify listening habits is easy:
- Tap on your profile image.
- Select ‘Listening Stats’ from the menu.
- Explore your top artists, songs, and insights.
- Tap ‘Share’ to post your weekly highlights.
A better understanding of your listening habits
So far, Spotify has largely kept more detailed listening insights under wraps outside of its highly anticipated Wrapped campaign each December. Presumably, that’s because sharing more regular updates would remove some of the hype behind Wrapped’s grand reveal.
However, that’s also meant Spotify has lagged behind competitors like Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer who have offered monthly listening stats alongside their year-end recaps for a while now.
With Listening Stats, Spotify is bridging that gap. The feature is rolling out now to both Free and Premium users across 60+ markets worldwide, giving users a clearer picture of their listening habits more frequently.
What this means for the music industry
For artists and labels, this update could mean more opportunities for engagement. More regular insights encourage fans to revisit tracks and share them more often, which could help drive more streams. Plus, users sharing their weekly highlights on social platforms means that smaller and emerging artists could see greater exposure.
