How to see your Spotify stats and what they show

If you like to pay attention to your statistics on various occasions, you’ll want to know how to see your stats on Spotify. You can track your stats to review your listening habits, see what you’ve been listening to, and more.

How to see your stats on Spotify (desktop and web player)

Aside from Spotify Wrapped, Spotify doesn’t allow you to see actual numbers. Listening to history in minutes and more specific information isn’t available outside your Spotify Wrapped stats. Even then, the information provided is quite limited.

However, Spotify does curate a list of your top artists and tracks, which you can view from your Profile. While it won’t specify how long you listened to each song or artist, your “top tracks” and “top artists” of the month will be listed in order based on listening time.

How to see your stats on Spotify (Android and iOS)

On your mobile device, your Spotify stat viewing options get thinner. From your Profile, you can only see your most frequently played artists (as long as you have Recently played artists switched on in Settings).

How to see your Recently played artists on Spotify

1. Open the Spotify mobile app on your Android or iOS device.
2. From Home, tap the gear-shaped Settings button.
3. In Settings, scroll down to the Social section and enable the Recently played artists slider.
4. Once Recently played artists is on, scroll back up and press View Profile.
5. On your Profile, you can see your three most Recently played artists.
6. To see the full list, press See all.

The artists in your Recently played artists list are shown in order based on your most recently played song. Select the Recently played button from the Home screen to see your most recent song history.

Using Stats for Spotify to see your Spotify stats

You can visit a website called Stats for Spotify that will show you your top tracks, top artists, and top genres. This is very similar to the information on Spotify because you cannot see how long you listened to each song, artist, or genre. Tracks, artists, and genres are ranked based on the time listened.

Now, where Stats for Spotify differs from the base platform is in the periods measured. You can view your top tracks, artists, and genres of the last four weeks, the last six months, and all time. To start, head to statsforspotify.com and click the Login with Spotify button.

After this, review the agreement page. You must allow Stats for Spotify to access your Spotify account data and activity and take action on your behalf. Granting them this will allow Stats for Spotify to see your stats and then relay them to you in a consumable form factor.

After logging in through your Spotify account, you can view your stats. As mentioned previously, there are no actual statistics involved. Aside from your top tracks, artists, and genres, you cannot see any real-time numbers. This data is updated daily.

Spotify Wrapped

Every year, Spotify sends users a personalized Spotify Wrapped summary of their annual listening activity. Spotify Wrapped includes one piece of information exclusive from all the other options mentioned in this article: numbers.

For artists, they can see — and share — bits of statistical information like how many streams they accumulated, how many listeners they had for the year, how many hours their music was listened to, and how many countries listened to their music.

If you missed your annual Wrapped, you can also request a “receipt” of your most-played Spotify tracks using a third-party service called Receiptify.
