For years Spotify users had limited visibility into their listening habits. Many turned to Last.fm or waited for the yearly Wrapped recap to see their top songs and artists. Spotify now fills that gap with a new feature called Listening stats that delivers weekly snapshots of what you play.
Weekly Highlights & Sharing
The feature surfaces your top artists and songs for each week and flags special moments like new discoveries, milestones, or fan highlights. You can share those snapshots to Instagram and WhatsApp, or send them directly to friends inside Spotify using the app’s messaging tool. That makes it easy to celebrate a great week of listening or show off a fresh discovery right away.
Listening stats also includes a playlist generator that turns your weekly favorites into a ready-made mix. The playlist blends songs you already love with a few recommendations based on recent plays. That keeps your queue dynamic and helps you discover music without leaving the app. For curators and casual listeners alike, it’s a fast way to convert data into listening time.
Rollout & Wrapped
Spotify is rolling the feature out to free and Premium users in more than 60 countries. The company says Wrapped will still arrive each year, so end-of-year surprises remain intact. But weekly updates change how you track trends: small listening shifts show up sooner, and patterns become easier to read. Fans who like steady feedback will enjoy the cadence. Those who prefer the annual reveal might miss the suspense.
In short, Listening stats gives users more control and clarity over their music habits. With weekly highlights, shareable snapshots, and instant playlist creation, Spotify makes it simpler to track and act on what you hear. If you want to try it, open your profile and tap the Listening stats tab to view your weekly rundown and share a moment with friends.
