When the service launched 15 years ago, Spotify functioned more like a library, letting users find and play the songs they already knew and loved, but with tens of million of tracks available on-demand, streaming opened up possibilities that the online music stores before them could never have done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the best examples of personalization and a favourite feature among fans are Spotify&#8217;s discovery playlists <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Discover Weekly<\/strong> and <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Release Radar<\/strong>. Updated every Monday, <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Discover Weekly<\/strong> is a collection of unheard songs based on the songs you love, while <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Release Radar<\/strong>, updated every Friday, is a collection of new songs from the artists you love. Both playlists are perfect for finding new music tailored to you. But personalization on Spotify doesn&#8217;t end there. The music streaming service has personalization baked into the experience from the home page the moment you sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify are constantly working on new and exciting ways to implement personalization across the platform. Launched earlier this year and updated daily, <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotifys-new-made-for-you-mixes-let-you-dive-into-the-artists-genres-and-decades-you-love\/\"><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Spotify Mixes<\/strong><\/a> is a hub of playlists sorted into genres, artists and decades that you&#8217;ve shown an interest in. Each playlist is full of songs you love and the ones Spotify thinks you&#8217;ll love. Launched just last month, <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-make-the-perfect-playlist-for-you-and-your-best-friend-on-spotify\/\"><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Spotify Blend<\/strong><\/a> merges two listeners&#8217; taste profiles to form a playlist updated daily that combines the favourite tunes of both users.

Improving over time, each song is recommended using a complex code-based system with thousands of inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Imagine you and another person have similar music tastes. You have four of the same top artists, but your fifth artists are different. We would take those two near-matches and think, \u2018Hmm, maybe each person would like the other\u2019s fifth artist\u2019 and suggest it. Now imagine that process happening at scale\u2014not just one-on-one, but thousands, millions of connections and preferences being considered instantaneously, and always updating. Every day, half a trillion events, whether they are searches, listens, or likes, take place on Spotify, powering and guiding our machine learning system.<\/p><p>Breakthroughs in machine learning have really allowed us to rethink how we can help users discover new audio content. While in many instances machine learning has remained focused on solving for the immediate click\u2014\u2018You like this song. Let me offer you more of the same kind of music\u2019\u2014we\u2019re now able to better understand content and the ways listeners and creators relate to it.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2021-10-13\/adding-that-extra-you-to-your-discovery-oskar-stal-spotify-vice-president-of-personalization-explains-how-it-works\/\">Oskar St\u00e5l, Vice President of Personalization, Spotify<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>The future of personalization at Spotify<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-is-expected-to-surpass-apples-podcast-lead-in-the-us-within-two-months\/\">As they continue to dominate the market,<\/a> Spotify sees opportunities for further personalization in podcasts. However Spotify stress it&#8217;s much harder to gage whether listeners are enjoying a show or episode as it takes longer than the typical 20 seconds it takes for most to judge a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We\u2019re investing heavily in developing the world\u2019s best-recommendation algorithms to power connections between podcasters and listeners. We already have a really good system in place thanks to over 10 years recommending music, and it turns out that we can even predict what kinds of podcasts a listener might enjoy based on their taste in music.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2021-10-13\/adding-that-extra-you-to-your-discovery-oskar-stal-spotify-vice-president-of-personalization-explains-how-it-works\/\">Oskar St\u00e5l, Vice President of Personalization, Spotify<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalization on Spotify doesn&#8217;t only benefit the listener. Spotify provides a fantastic opportunity for smaller artists to break into the mainstream and develop a global audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Personalization is really a two-way street. The insights we\u2019ve gathered allow us to see that there might be a Finnish artist who has music that would be a hit in Latin America. And we have the opportunity to bring that music to those listeners in Latin America through our personalization channels. This then introduces the artist to a more global audience that might not have been able to discover them on their own.<\/p><p>Personalization is essential to the listening experience. What we\u2019re really working towards is creating a more holistic understanding of listeners by optimising for long-term satisfaction rather than for short-term clicks, offering them a more fulfilling content diet. Listeners are on a journey of discovery, and we want to help them have the best experience as they discover the millions of audio content available on Spotify.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2021-10-13\/adding-that-extra-you-to-your-discovery-oskar-stal-spotify-vice-president-of-personalization-explains-how-it-works\/\">Oskar St\u00e5l, Vice President of Personalization, Spotify<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-upload-my-music-to-spotify-yes-and-its-free\/\"><strong>To get your own music on Spotify and discover your next biggest fans, sign up to RouteNote today for free global music distribution.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oskar St\u00e5l, the Vice President of Personalization at Spotify talks about how Spotify recommends listeners new songs based on those they love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":88294,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[24798],"tags":[6190,12199,130,1038,7342,825,28779,30184,30183,30182,4991,24200],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
