This guide will show you how to see Spotify stats, whether you’re using the app, the web player, or third-party tools.

How to see your most played songs on Spotify
While Spotify doesn’t show exact play counts, you can find your most-played music in several ways:
Check Your Top Songs Playlists:
- Open Your Library
- Look for “Your Top Songs [Year]” playlists
- These auto-generated playlists show your 100 most played tracks for each year
Note that this playlist is only temporary and usually only appears near the end of the year.
View Recent History:
- Tap the clock icon in the top right corner
- See your recently played tracks
- This shows your last 50 played songs
Enable Profile Stats:
- Tap Settings (gear icon)

How to see your stats in the Spotify app
Besides Wrapped, Spotify doesn’t provide detailed statistics like listening time in minutes, but it offers a curated list of your top artists and tracks. You won’t see the exact duration you’ve spent listening to each, but these lists are ordered based on your listening time.
Before viewing the basic stats on your Spotify mobile app, you must enable the ‘Recently Played Artists’ list. This feature allows you to show your recently played artists on your public profile using the following steps:
- From your Spotify mobile app’s home screen, tap on the Settings icon at the top right of the screen.
- Scroll down and enable the Recently played artists option.
After enabling the list, you can see your Spotify stats on your mobile app by following these steps:
- Scroll up and tap on View Profile.
- On your profile page, you can see your recently played artist.
On your profile page, you can only see the top three of your recently played artists, but you can view the list of all the artists you recently listened to, numbering up to 50. Spotify curates the artists on this list based on your recently played songs. You can view your song history by tapping on the History icon from the home screen. [Screenshot]
How to see your stats in the Spotify web player
For how to see Spotify stats on your web player, follow these steps:
- Go to open.spotify.com.
- After logging in, click the User icon on the top-right corner of the webpage and select Profile.

Unlike the recently played artists you can view on Spotify’s mobile app, the top artists and tracks list are based on how frequently you listen to them. Click on Show All to see the complete list, showing up to 10 of your top artists and 50 of your top songs.
