Music listening is part of everyday life, but there are moments when people really start paying attention to their habits. For Spotify fans, this often happens when you wonder which songs you play the most, which artists dominate your playlists, or how your listening changes over time.
While you can't change the stats Wrapped collects and shows about your listening, you can peek at your top tracks, favorite artists, and more. You're not just checking and forgetting them-you can even dive a bit deeper by comparing stats across different time periods and actually saving them as a special part of your library.
Sometimes we all want to check our stats anytime, not just at the end of the year. And you know what? Wrapped isn't the only option. Apps, websites, you name it! By the end, you'll know exactly how to check your stats, where to look, and even uncover hidden insights about your Spotify habits.
Method 1. The simplest method: View built-in Spotify stats
If you just want a quick look at your listening habits, Spotify already includes a few built-in stats. On both desktop and mobile, you can open your profile to see Top Artists, Top Tracks, and a bit of your recent listens under Recently Played.
This option is instant and private - no tools or logins required. All you need is to know where to look. It's great for a snapshot of your taste but limited if you're after detailed analytics like play counts or total minutes listened. Think of it as your personal quick-check dashboard.
Find built-in stats on Spotify:
Step 1 On your phone or desktop, open the Spotify app.
Step 2 Go to your profile:
    
- On mobile, tap profile picture → Your Profile.
- On desktop, click your name at the top.
Step 3 Scroll down to see Top Artists and Top Tracks for recent periods. On desktop, you may also see Recently Played, playlists, and activity; keep in mind this provides only a snapshot of your listening rather than full metrics like total minutes or lifetime plays.
- Pros
- Official and secure (no third-party login)
- Easy access within Spotify app
- Updates automatically
- Cons
- Shows only recent data (no all-time stats)
- Limited details (no minutes or play counts)
- No export or visualization options
Method 2. The annual highlight: Spotify Wrapped

Every December, Wrapped delivers a colorful recap of your listening year - from your top songs and artists to total minutes and favorite genres. Wrapped is easily the most recognizable way to see your stats, designed to be shared across social media.
It's fun, visual, and tells a story about your year in music. Some users wish it offered more precise numbers or monthly updates, but as an annual summary, nothing beats its presentation and shareability. Its look may vary each year as it evolves to include features like artist clips and new AI-generated podcasts based on your year. Still, it remains the go-to way for users to enjoy checking their stats and activities with nothing fake. The only complaint is that Wrapped sometimes omits smaller details.
Check your Spotify Wrapped:
Step 1 Wait for Spotify's yearly Wrapped feature (usually late November or early December).
Step 2 Open the desktop or mobile app, or visit the Wrapped page directly once it's ready, and tap the Wrapped banner on the Home screen.
Step 3 View your personalized recap with top songs, artists, genres, and total listening minutes. You can save or share the results, or add the automatically generated Your Top Songs playlist to your library; note that Wrapped is only accessible for a few months and isn't available year-round.
- Pros
- Fun, shareable visual summary
- Annual highlights (songs, artists, genres)
- Officially made by Spotify
- Cons
- Only available once a year
- Doesn't show ongoing stats
- Some users find data less accurate or too broad
Method 3. The deeper view: Stats for Spotify

For those - like bloggers and casual listeners - who want more than built-in app stats, Stats for Spotify offers a quick and easy web-based overview. It's a lightweight tool that connects to your account and shows top tracks, artists, and genres across short-term, medium-term, and all-time ranges.
It's simple and fast, perfect for casual use. However, note that stats may be limited when you're running a Private Session. Many users also recommend reviewing app permissions and revoking access afterward - just to keep your account data secure.
Use Stats for Spotify (website):
Step 1 Visit the Stats for Spotify website.
Step 2 Click Login with Spotify and authorize the site to access your account.
Step 3 Explore dashboards showing top tracks, artists, and genres across short-term, medium-term, or all-time periods. You can optionally create a playlist of your top tracks or export the data if supported; make sure to review privacy settings and disconnect afterward if you want extra security.
- Pros
- Clean, web-based interface
- Shows top tracks/artists over 3 time ranges
- Lets you create playlists from stats
- Cons
- Focuses only on top lists (no play counts)
- Requires Spotify account connection
- Occasional sync delays
Method 4. The all-round tracker: Stats.FM

Formerly known as Spotistats for Spotify, Stats.FM provides one of the most complete looks at your listening history. It offers play counts, minutes listened, long-term history, and mobile apps with daily updates. It's popular among dedicated music fans who want ongoing stats rather than just seasonal summaries. Many call it the go-to option for serious tracking over months or even years. A nice bonus: last year, it also added Apple Music support.
Use stats.fm:
Step 1 Download the stats.fm app or open the web version.
Step 2 Sign up or log in and connect your Spotify account.
Step 3 Request your Extended Streaming History from Spotify via your privacy settings.
Step 4 Upload the ZIP file from Spotify into stats.fm under Settings → Connections → Import Files. Once imported, stats.fm shows detailed metrics including streams, minutes listened, top tracks/artists, and time-based stats; keep the connection active so stats.fm updates automatically (about every 100 minutes).
- Pros
- Detailed listening history with hours and play counts
- Offers daily, monthly, and all-time stats
- Mobile app for iOS and Android
- Cons
- Requires importing data for full history
- Can be overwhelming for casual users
- Some reports of sync lag or missing plays
Method 5. The long-term log: Last.FM

Last.fm is a classic in the world of music tracking. Personally, it's the first tool I use to track every listen on my PC - and now it even supports Spotify scrobbling. Once you connect it, it will automatically "scrobble" tracks so you get a running archive, recommendations, and community charts.
It's less about visuals than tools like Stats.FM and more about reliability - great for people who want a factual, long-term archive rather than a curated summary. It's also part of a large community, so you can compare your stats or get recommendations based on what others play.
Use Last.fm (scrobbling service):
Step 1 Create or log into your Last.fm account.
Step 2 Navigate to Track My Music or your profile's Settings → Applications.
Step 3 Find Spotify Scrobbling and click Connect, then authorize via Spotify.
Step 4 After connecting, your plays ("scrobbles") are automatically sent to Last.fm, where you can view Recent Tracks, top artists, tracks, and albums over different periods (week, month, year, all time); if scrobbling stops, disconnect and reconnect Spotify or check your app/device settings.
- Pros
- Long-established, reliable platform
- Tracks all plays ("scrobbles") automatically
- Offers social features and comparisons
- Cons
- Requires linking and setup
- Interface feels dated to some users
- Occasional connection issues between apps
Method 6. The stylish all-rounder: Volt.FM

Volt.fm is a modern web app many users share around Wrapped season. It surfaces top songs, artists, and albums; includes play counts and minutes listened; and adds time-based stats (active hours and days). It's polished and modern - ideal if you want something deeper than Spotify's built-in stats but easier to read than full analytics tools. Many users see it as the perfect middle ground between fun visuals and real insights.
Use Volt.fm:
Step 1 Visit Volt.fm or open its web app.
Step 2 Log in and connect your Spotify account.
Step 3 Let Volt.fm analyze your listening data: top songs, artists, albums, genres, minutes listened, and active times. Explore dashboards and visuals for a richer view beyond simple top lists.
- Pros
- Beautiful, modern dashboard visuals
- Tracks your activity continuously
- Highlights patterns like most active hours
- Cons
- Requires full Spotify access
- Some data locked behind login
- Limited customization/export
Method 7. The fun personality test: Obscurify

Obscurify measures how "obscure" your taste is compared to other Spotify users. It analyzes your listening habits, gives you an obscurity score, and breaks down your top genres and moods. Think of it as a playful, social way to show off how niche your taste is - beloved for its novelty and shareability, though it's not designed for precise play-count analytics.
Use Obscurify:
Step 1 Visit the Obscurify website and log in via Spotify.
Step 2 The site calculates your obscurity score and shows top artists, genres, and how you compare to other users.
Step 3 Review your results to see how niche or mainstream your listening is, including visual genre breakdowns.
- Pros
- Fun insight into how "mainstream" your taste is
- Shows genre and mood stats
- Simple, visual layout
- Cons
- Focused on novelty, not analytics depth

Method 8. The visual snapshot: Spotify Pie

Spotify Pie turns your listening history into colorful pie charts showing your top artists and genres. The charts are eye-catching and perfect for sharing on social media. For example, it creates bright, shareable graphics of your top artists/genres and top-10 lists that your friends and followers will love to see on Instagram.
It's best if you just want a fast, visual summary of your music taste. The tradeoff is reliability - users sometimes report bugs, long load times, or intrusive ads, so it's best used for quick visuals rather than detailed analytics.
Use Spotify Pie:
Step 1 Go to the Spotify Pie website or a similar pie-chart generator.
Step 2 Log in with Spotify to grant access.
Step 3 The tool generates a colorful pie chart of your top artists and genres over a selected period. You can download or share the chart, often on social media.

Use Trackify:
Step 1 Open Trackify's website or app and sign up or log in.
Step 2 Connect your Spotify account.

Method 11. The visual brag: Icebergify

Icebergify turns your top artists into an iceberg chart - with mainstream acts on top and your deeper cuts hidden below. It's a fun way to show off how "deep" your music taste goes. Whenever you see people sharing their charts online, you might find yourself curious and want to start exploring Icebergify too.
Use Icebergify:
Step 1 Visit Icebergify and log in via Spotify.
Step 2 Grant access and wait for the iceberg chart to generate.

Bonus Tip: Download Spotify Music to MP3
A longer but more flexible option is to use ViWizard Spotify Music Converter to save your Spotify content as MP3, M4A, or FLAC. Not only does this let you keep your favorite songs, playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks forever, but it also means you can play them anywhere - not just inside Spotify.
Before you start, you'll need to install the software and sign into your Spotify account. I know that may sound technical, but it's really just opening the program and logging in so it can access your library.
 
                  Download Spotify music, podcasts and audiobooks as MP3 and more. Keep full sound and listen offline anytime.
Once you're ready, import the tracks, albums, or playlists you want to convert. Choose your desired output format and quality, then start the conversion. The software preserves all metadata - like song titles, artist names, album info, and cover art - so your library stays neat and organized.
The real benefit is flexibility. When it's done, your music is fully yours. You can listen offline on any device, create custom playlists outside the app, or archive episodes for later.
