One of the best features of Spotify is the ability to track your music listening habits. “ Spotify Wrapped ” is a big part of it, but you don’t need to wait until December to see your stats. We’ll show you where to look.
How to view stats in the Spotify app
The Spotify desktop app has some basic stats that you can check at any time. This includes your Top Artists of the Month and Top Tracks of the Month. These statistics are available in your profile and only you can see them. They cannot be viewed on the Spotify mobile apps.
To get started, open the Spotify app to Windows , Mac , Linux Hello Web . We’ll be using the Windows app, but it looks the same on all platforms.
Next, click on the account menu in the top right corner and select “Profile”.
In the top section, you’ll see your “Top Artists This Month.” Select “View All” to see the full list of the top 10 artists.
Below that is “Top Tracks This Month.” Again, you can select “View All” to see the entire list of 50 tracks.
That’s it! These are very simple statistics, but they can be interesting nonetheless. If you want more, you’ll need to dive into third-party apps.
How to get more statistics from Spotify
The best artists and tracks of the month are a good place to start, but if you’re a big music lover, you might want more. For that, we will use a very good third-party application called “Stats.fm” (also known as Spotistats).
Stats.fm is available for iPhone , iPad Y Android . The app connects to your Spotify account and provides a lot of information that you can’t find in the official apps. Some of those stats include:
- the best topics
- best artists
- main albums
- main genres
- Most common time of day you listen to music
- Number of streamed tracks
- Number of minutes broadcast
Here’s the really cool part: All of these stats can be viewed in the last four weeks, six months, lifetime, and custom date range. You’re not limited to just “This Month” Spotify Basics.
Note: Some of the more advanced stats require a one-time fee of $3.50. To view lifetime stats, you’ll need to request your full listening history from Spotify and import it .
Let’s set it up. Download the app for iPhone , iPad either Android and open it. The first thing we need to do is “Sign in” with your Spotify account.
Once you have given the app permission to access your Spotify account, you will be taken to the main “Overview” tab. This is where you can see recent activity, playlists, and some basic stats.
For more detailed stats, switch to the “Top” tab.
The next tab is “Statistics”, which requires the “Plus” rate.
Those tabs are where you’ll see most of the stats. It’s a great app, so don’t be afraid to look around and explore. I really enjoy seeing how my listening habits change and evolve over time . Spotify and Stats.fm make it easy.
