Spotify has officially rolled out a brand-new feature called “Listening Stats,” giving users a weekly snapshot of their music habits — from top artists and songs to personalized highlights that define their unique sound.
The feature is now available to both Free and Premium Spotify users in over 60 markets worldwide, including Kenya. It’s part of Spotify’s effort to make music listening not just about what you play — but about how your music shapes your week.
🎵 What Is Spotify “Listening Stats”?
Spotify’s Listening Stats compiles your top artists, songs, and genres from the past four weeks, presenting them in a fun, sharable snapshot.
Each week, Spotify adds a rotating highlight — something special that may include:
- A new artist you’ve discovered
- A song you’ve played on repeat
- A personal music milestone or fan moment
According to Spotify, the goal is to help users “relive your week in music in a fun, sharable way.”
📱 How to Access Spotify Listening Stats
To check your weekly music stats, simply:
- Open the Spotify app.
- Tap on your profile image (top left corner).
- Select “Listening Stats” from the drop-down menu.
- View your personalized report — and share it instantly with friends or followers.
The new feature also integrates seamless sharing to social platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and even direct messages on Spotify.
🌍 Why This Matters for Kenyan Spotify Users
Kenya’s music streaming scene has been growing fast, with local fans embracing platforms like Spotify, Boomplay, and Apple Music.
With “Listening Stats,” Kenyan users now have a way to:
- Track their changing music moods week by week
- Share their top artists — from Sauti Sol to Burna Boy — with friends
- Discover new local and international artists based on trends in their listening patterns
It’s not just about stats — it’s about celebrating your music journey in real-time.
🔄 Complementing Spotify Wrapped & Discovery Tools
While “Listening Stats” gives you weekly insights, Spotify still offers deeper discovery features such as:
- Daylist – A playlist that evolves with your mood throughout the day
- Discover Weekly – Personalized song recommendations every Monday
- Release Radar – New releases from your favorite artists
And, of course, the iconic Spotify Wrapped remains the ultimate year-end summary of your musical year — but now, fans don’t have to wait till December to enjoy data-driven music reflections.
💬 Spotify’s Take on the Update
In a statement, Spotify said the new feature is designed to make music more personal, interactive, and shareable.
“By helping listeners explore their music identities weekly, we’re turning music data into moments of joy and connection,” the company shared.
🎶 Final Thoughts: A New Era of Personalized Music
Spotify’s Listening Stats marks another big step in personalized streaming experiences.
For Kenyan users, this feature adds a layer of fun, identity, and engagement — perfect for those who love tracking their playlists or sharing their weekly vibes online.
Whether you’re vibing to Gengetone, Afrobeat, Amapiano, or soft jazz, your Spotify Listening Stats now tell your story — one week at a time.
