One of the best features of music-listening apps like Spotify is getting to track your top artists, songs, and genres.

Read on for an easy guide to finding your top artists and other Spotify data.

Quick Steps

  1. Open the Spotify desktop app or web player.
  2. Click your profile picture and select "Profile."
  3. “Go to "Top artists this month.”
  4. Click “Show all” to view all of your top artists from the past month.

  3. Click “Show all” to see the complete list. You can also view “Top Tracks This Month” to see your top songs. [1]
    • Your top artists are based on the total number of streams they got from you—so, how many times you listened to one of their tracks for a minimum of 30 seconds. The more you listen to them, the more likely it is that they’ll be one of your top artists in any given month. This is true whether you listen to one of their songs on repeat, or many songs just once. [2]

  1. Login to your account if you aren’t already signed in. Then, tap the “Home” icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Look for the Spotify Wrapped feed (a banner or button). Select “Your Wrapped” to see your Spotify Wrapped stories. Watch or tap through the stories to see your top artists of the year. [3]
  2. Select “Your Wrapped” to view your Spotify Wrapped stories on the desktop app or directly in your web browser. Watch or click through the Wrapped story pages to find your top artists of the year. [4]
    • Once a yearly Wrapped is released, you’ll always have access to the playlist of top songs, but the statistics will disappear (typically at the end of the year) unless you save them via screenshot or download. [5]
