See which artists rule your listening stats
Spotify lets you explore your top artists, songs, and genres over time. Watching how your favorites shift from month to month is one of the most fun parts of using the app. Want to find this info on the Spotify app or web player? Here's how to access it in just a few steps.
Quick Guide
- Launch the Spotify web player or desktop app.
- Click your profile image and choose "Profile."
- Select "Top artists this month."
- Tap “Show all” to see the full list of top artists from the last 30 days.
Detailed Steps
Viewing Top Artists via Your Spotify Desktop Profile
Launch the Spotify desktop app or head to open.spotify.com. Your desktop profile lets you access your monthly top artists—this feature isn’t available in the mobile app.
Click your profile icon at the top right and choose “Profile.” This opens your personal Spotify profile page.
Scroll to the section labeled “Top artists this month.” Hit “Show all” to view the full list. You’ll also find a section for “Top Tracks This Month.”
- Your top artists are determined by how many times you streamed their tracks for at least 30 seconds. Whether you’re looping one song or sampling several, repeated listening boosts an artist’s rank on your list.
Viewing Stats with Spotify Wrapped
Open the "Wrapped" feed in the Spotify mobile app. Sign in if needed, then tap the “Home” icon at the bottom. Find the Spotify Wrapped banner or button. Tap “Your Wrapped” to open your Spotify Wrapped stories and browse through to see your top artists of the year.
Visit spotify.com/wrapped on desktop. Click “Your Wrapped” to view the stories in your browser or the desktop app. Click through the story slides to find your top artists of the year.
- After Wrapped drops each year, the top songs playlist remains available, but the stats themselves disappear—so be sure to screenshot or save them before the year ends.
