Title: Spotify introduces weekly listening stats

Link: https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/music/...

Spotify delivers a lot of personalized, data-driven music recommendations,
and now the streaming service is adding new weekly snapshots of your
listening activities. Listening stats will highlight the artists and songs
that a user has heard the most over the previous four weeks and creates a
playlist inspired by those selections. And according to the blog post: "Each
week, it also includes a special highlight that captures what makes your
listening unique, whether itΓÇÖs a milestone, a new discovery, or a fan
moment." That's a pretty vague introduction, and how engaging the highlights
are in practice will likely depend on how much they actually surprise and
delight listeners.

It sounds like a midway point between the company's year-end Wrapped data
package and its daily mix playlists. More ways to view listening data are
always fun, and several competing services like Apple Music, Amazon Music and
YouTube Music have already upped how often they share reports with their
users. This seems to be SpotifyΓÇÖs move to catch up on that trend.

The listening stats will live under your profile and can be shared internally
on Spotify or as an external link. The new features will be available for
both free and paying listeners across 60 international markets.
