Where to find your Spotify stats
Spotify shows you your listening history and patterns in three main places: your personal profile, the Spotify Wrapped feature (once a year), and third-party stat trackers that connect to your account. The easiest route is your profile, which you can access on any device where you're logged in.
On the Spotify app or web player, tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Profile." From there, you'll see your public profile page, which displays your top tracks, top artists, and playlists. This view updates regularly as you listen, so your top songs this month may differ from your top songs last month.
If you want to see more detailed breakdowns — like which songs you played most in the last week, month, or all time — you'll need to use a third-party tracker. Spotify itself doesn't offer a built-in way to filter by time period beyond what appears on your profile.
Key Takeaways
- Your profile page shows your top tracks and artists, updated regularly, and is visible to anyone who visits your public profile unless you change privacy settings.
- Spotify Wrapped arrives once a year (usually in late October or early November) and shows a summary of your top songs, artists, and listening habits for that year.
- Third-party stat trackers like Stats for Spotify, Spotify.me, and Last.fm connect to your account to show detailed breakdowns by time period and listening patterns.
- Connecting a third-party tracker requires you to authorize it through Spotify's login system, which grants it read-only access to your listening data.
- You can revoke access to any third-party tracker at any time through your Spotify account settings under "Apps and websites."
Understanding what your profile stats actually show
The stats on your profile page are not a complete record of every song you've ever heard. Instead, Spotify displays your most-played tracks and artists based on an algorithm that weighs recent listening more heavily than older listening. A song you played constantly three years ago will rank lower than one you've played a few times this week, even if you played the older song more times overall.
Your top tracks and top artists lists refresh as you listen. If you stop listening to a particular artist for several weeks, they'll drop down the rankings even if you played them heavily before. This means your profile stats are a snapshot of your current taste, not a historical archive.
The number of followers you have and the playlists you've created are also visible on your profile. If your profile is public, anyone can see this information. If you want to keep your listening private, you can change your profile to private through Settings, though this will hide your stats from other users.
How to use third-party stat trackers
Third-party trackers give you stats that Spotify's built-in profile doesn't. Popular options include Stats for Spotify, Spotify.me, Last.fm, and Every Noise at Once. Each one works slightly differently, but they all require you to log in with your Spotify account.
To connect a tracker, visit the website, click "Log in with Spotify," and you'll be taken to Spotify's login page. After you enter your credentials, Spotify will ask you to confirm that you want to give the tracker permission to read your listening data. The tracker can see what you've played, but it cannot change your password, delete your account, or modify your playlists — it only has read access.
Once connected, the tracker will pull your listening history and generate stats. Some trackers update in real time, while others update once a day or once a week. Check the tracker's website to see how often it refreshes.
What Spotify Wrapped shows you
Spotify Wrapped is an annual feature that Spotify releases in late October or early November. It summarizes your listening for the calendar year and shows your top five artists, top songs, total minutes listened, and sometimes a personalized "audio personality" or listening category. Wrapped also generates shareable graphics you can post to social media.
Wrapped data is based on your listening from January 1 through October 31 of that year. It does not include listening from November and December, so if you discover a new artist in December, they won't appear in that year's Wrapped. You'll see them in the following year's Wrapped instead.
Wrapped is only available once a year, so if you want to see your stats more frequently, you'll need to check your profile or use a third-party tracker.
Privacy and security when connecting trackers
When you authorize a third-party tracker, you're giving it permission to see your listening history. This data is stored on the tracker's servers, not on Spotify's. Before you connect a tracker, check its privacy policy to understand how it uses your data and whether it shares it with other companies.
You can revoke access to any tracker at any time. On the Spotify web player, go to Settings, scroll down to "Apps and websites," and you'll see a list of all connected apps. Click the one you want to remove and select "Remove access." The tracker will no longer be able to see your listening data, though it may keep the historical data it already collected.
If a tracker asks for permission to modify your playlists, change your password, or access your email address, that's a sign it's requesting more access than it needs. Stick with trackers that only ask for read-only access to your listening history.
Viewing listening history vs. top stats
Your listening history and your top stats are different things. Your history is a chronological list of every song you've played (or at least, every song Spotify has recorded). Your top stats are the songs and artists ranked by how often you've played them.
Spotify's app shows your recent listening on your profile, but it doesn't show a complete chronological history. To see a more detailed history, you can use a third-party tracker or check your account data through Spotify's privacy download feature. Go to Settings, scroll to "Privacy," and select "Download your data." Spotify will email you a file containing your complete listening history, though it can take several days to arrive.
Why your stats might look different on different devices
If you use Spotify on multiple devices — your phone, computer, tablet, or car — your stats are combined across all of them. A song you played on your phone counts the same as a song you played on your computer. However, the way stats are displayed might vary slightly depending on which device you're viewing them on, especially if you're using an older version of the app.
Make sure your Spotify app is up to date to see the most accurate stats. If you're using the web player, your stats should match what you see in the mobile app, though there can be a slight delay of a few hours while the data syncs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see my Spotify stats for just one month?
Spotify's built-in profile doesn't filter by month, but third-party trackers like Stats for Spotify and Spotify.me let you view your top songs and artists for the last week, month, six months, or all time. These trackers are free and don't require a paid Spotify subscription.
Does Spotify Wrapped include all my listening?
Wrapped includes listening from January 1 through October 31 only. Listening from November and December is not included in that year's Wrapped. If you want to see stats for the full calendar year, use a third-party tracker instead.
Can other people see my listening stats?
If your profile is public, yes — anyone can visit your profile and see your top tracks and artists. If you want to keep your stats private, change your profile to private in Settings. Private profiles hide your stats from other users, though Spotify itself can still see your data.
What happens if I disconnect a third-party tracker?
Once you remove access through Settings, the tracker can no longer pull new data from your account. However, it may keep the historical data it already collected. Check the tracker's privacy policy to see how long it stores data after you disconnect.
Do I need a paid Spotify subscription to see my stats?
No. Both Spotify's built-in stats and third-party trackers work with free and paid accounts. Your listening is tracked the same way regardless of which subscription level you have.
