If you’re an avid explorer of your Spotify statistics, it’s worth noting that a variety of external applications and websites have emerged to provide fresh perspectives on your music preferences and listening patterns. These platforms may uncover intriguing insights that could catch you by surprise.
While Spotify annually presents its users with a comprehensive review of their listening history through Spotify Wrapped, this is merely the beginning of what’s achievable. By integrating one or multiple web applications with your Spotify library, you can generate a fascinating array of analytics and breakdowns concerning your music collection.
In this selection, we’ve highlighted seven exceptional tools that can be linked to your Spotify account, offering a unique lens through which to examine your listening habits. The more time you invest in Spotify, the richer and more detailed these insights become.
Stats for Spotify
Stats for Spotify provides an apt description of its functionality right in its name: it furnishes a comprehensive breakdown of your streaming activity on Spotify with just a simple click on the ‘Login with Spotify’ button. Upon logging in, you can select from ‘Top Tracks,’ ‘Top Artists,’ and ‘Top Genres.’ For each category, you have the flexibility to view data from the past four weeks, the previous six months, or since the inception of your Spotify account, which could span over a decade.
Additionally, the website encourages regular visits by highlighting changes in chart rankings since your last login. Furthermore, it offers the convenience of exporting any of the charts you encounter as playlists, which you can then enjoy using the Spotify app.
How Bad is Your Streaming Music?
For a lighthearted exploration of your music listening habits, consider giving the ‘How Bad Is Your Streaming Music?‘ website a spin. It’s not limited to Spotify; you can also link your Apple Music account to it, and the features remain consistent regardless of the service you use.
## How Bad is Your Streaming Music?
For a lighthearted exploration of your music listening habits, consider giving the ‘How Bad Is Your Streaming Music?’ website a spin. It’s not limited to Spotify; you can also link your Apple Music account to it, and the features remain consistent regardless of the service you use.
The website playfully claims to be powered by a ‘sophisticated AI’ trained on data from influential figures in the music world – the authenticity of which remains uncertain. Nevertheless, the amusing questions it poses about the quirkier aspects of your listening history are bound to elicit a chuckle. For instance, it might inquire whether you listen to bands like the Killers ‘ironically’ and sprinkle in some witty remarks. After the analysis, you’ll receive a humorous and imaginative verdict on just how ‘bad’ your music taste is.
Last.fm
One compelling reason to utilize Last.fm for scrutinizing your Spotify listening history is its compatibility with various other music streaming platforms. If you’re seeking a centralized hub where you can consolidate all your music consumption data, Last.fm serves as an excellent option.
Once you’ve integrated both Spotify and any additional streaming services with your Last.fm account, you’ll have access to a wealth of listening statistics. You can delve into breakdowns organized by artist, album, and song, covering recent activity as well as extended timeframes spanning several years.
Another noteworthy aspect of Last.fm is its proficiency in suggesting new music that aligns with your existing preferences. Just like the innovative Spotify AI DJ, Last.fm’s algorithm is adept at introducing you to artists you might not have encountered otherwise, making it a valuable tool for music discovery.
Obscurify
Obscurify is a tool designed for those who take pride in their music taste being a notch above the ordinary. It examines your Spotify listening history and provides insights into how unconventional your choice of artists and genres is compared to their overall popularity across the Spotify platform.
Delve deeper into the data, and Obscurify can furnish details about the average mood of the songs you enjoy, tracking whether your music preferences are leaning towards happiness or melancholy. Furthermore, it rates your listening habits based on factors like energy levels, danceability, and acousticness, offering a wealth of information to explore.
The website also identifies the songs and artists in your Spotify catalog that are the most obscure, and it goes the extra mile by suggesting suitably niche recommendations you might want to explore. This way, your music library can become even more diverse and unique.
Spotify Pie
We’ve previously discussed how Spotify Pie can whip up a visual representation of your listening patterns on Spotify, with a particular emphasis on the genres you’ve been gravitating toward lately, whether it’s rock, electronica, garage, dance, pop, or any other genre.
Using the website is straightforward: simply click the prominent green button to initiate the login process. Within seconds, your pie chart will materialize, displaying a breakdown of the genres you’ve been immersed in on Spotify over the past month.
Spotify can be quite precise in its categorization of music genres, so you might notice thinner slices in your pie chart than you initially expected. If you wish to remove a genre slice from the chart, a simple click on its label will do the trick. Below the pie chart, you’ll also find a list of the artists who have occupied the most playtime in your recent listening history.
Sort Your Music
Sort Your Music accomplishes precisely that task: it arranges and organizes your Spotify playlists based on various criteria such as tempo, volume, danceability, popularity, valence (mood), and more. To begin using the app and grant it access to your Spotify data, simply click the green login button located at the center of the screen.
Following this, you will be prompted to select one of your existing Spotify playlists, initiating the sorting process. At the top of the screen, you’ll find a list of available criteria, ranging from the release year of a song to its beats per minute. Clicking on a column heading allows you to sort the playlist accordingly.
You also have the option to sort playlists in both ascending and descending order, enabling you to start with either the slowest or the fastest songs. Once the sorting is complete, you can save the results as a new playlist if you wish, and it will be accessible through your Spotify account.
Icebergify
Icebergify might strike you as an unusual name for a Spotify plugin, but its purpose is quite clear: it generates an iceberg-inspired visual representation of your music preferences on the platform, ranking the artists you favor based on their level of popularity or obscurity.
To create your own iceberg, simply click the ‘Create yours’ button, authorize the site to access your Spotify data, and your personalized iceberg will materialize. Initially, the site displays your iceberg for the past month, but you can opt to explore your all-time Spotify iceberg by following the provided on-screen link.
This platform leverages an artist’s popularity on Spotify to gauge whether they fall into the mainstream or remain more niche. Artists you frequently listen to who enjoy significant popularity are depicted above the waterline, while those who are less renowned are submerged below, offering a visual representation of the uniqueness of your music preferences.
