Can't Wait for Spotify Wrapped? Now You Get a Weekly Treat of Listening Stats
Spotify's new feature offers weekly updates on top artists and songs with personalized playlists and special highlights for users in over 60 markets worldwide.
Available in over 60 markets, Spotify's new Listening stats feature now shows top artists and songs from the past four weeks in the homepage sidebar, rolling out on Android and iOS soon.
As a warm-up to Spotify Wrapped, Spotify says the aim is to bring listeners closer to music and offer ongoing personalized insights as competing services like Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube Music share reports more often.
The stats refresh every 24 hours and offer new track recommendations, while each weekly snapshot includes a 'special highlight' like a milestone or new discovery, shareable via Spotify Messages, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
At launch the feature acts like a year-round mini Wrapped for Free and Premium users, encouraging user engagement and sharing but lacks the minutes listened metric and is less comprehensive than Wrapped.
Spotify says it will continue iterating on the tool and keep users informed about feature updates, while assuring Wrapped remains in place despite weekly and monthly Wrapped-like formats emerging.
