- Spotify is warming up for Wrapped by rolling out a new ‘Listening stats’ tab that shows you your top songs and artists from the past four weeks
- Updating every 24 hours, your stats give you a deeper insight to your streaming habits as well as offering new recommendations
- You’ll also get a ‘special highlight’, which could be anything from a milestone, a new discovery, or a fact about your listening habits
Spotify Wrapped 2025 is looming, and one of the best music streaming services has just dropped the ideal warm-up to the music recap event of the year – say hello to listening stats, offering new insights to your weekly listening habits.
Rolling out now to Free and Premium users in over 60 global markets, the new listening stats feature shows your top artists and songs from the past four weeks in your homepage sidebar. Your stats update every 24 hours, and will offer new recommendations based on your listening behaviors.
As well as being able to view your top artists and songs in real time, you’ll also find new playlists based on what you’ve been listening to recently. Spotify has also shared that each week you’ll get what it describes as a ‘special highlight’, which could be anything from a milestone, a new discovery, or a fact about your personal listening habits.
With Spotify Wrapped just weeks away, listening stats are setting the mood perfectly for Spotify’s end-of-year recap, which breaks the internet every December. Spotify has also shared that listening stats are not just designed to show you what you’ve been streaming the most, but also to bring you closer to the music you already love.
In its blog post announcing the new feature, Spotify says it’s “always finding new ways to bring you closer to the music that moves you, turning sound into something personal. From the playlists that match your mood to the tracks that take you back, your story unfolds one song at a time, wherever you are,” adding that “it’s all about exploring your unique music taste and maybe uncovering something new along the way, just like you do with Spotify Daylist, Release Radar, and Discover Weekly”.
At the moment you can’t view your minutes listened in the new stats tab, but it’s still early days. Spotify tends to build on new features over time, so could be that Spotify is planning on adding this at a later date – we reached out to Spotify for more info, and it says it’ll keep us informed on any feature updates.
