Spotify Launches Weekly “Listening Stats”

Spotify has unveiled its latest feature, ‘listening stats,’ allowing users to relive their week in music in a shareable snapshot.

The details:

• The feature is available to Free and Premium users in more than 60 markets globally.

• It shows users their top artists and songs from the past four weeks, and serves up playlists inspired by them.

• Each week it also includes a special highlight that captures what makes a user’s listening unique, be it a milestone, new discovery, or fan moment.

• Users can share their stats directly from the app with friends on Spotify or externally on Instagram, WhatsApp and more.

How it works:

• By clicking on their profile image, users open the menu and click the “listening stats” tab.

• They can then check out their top artists, songs and insights, and tap Share to post weekly stats or individual highlights.

Also happening:

• The launch comes as Spotify faces a lawsuit alleging its recommendation tools are essentially a payola scheme.
