What Your Spotify Extended Streaming History Reveals About You

Your favorite song and your most-played song are not always the same. One might be a track you've come back to every year. The other might have soundtracked one very intense summer.

Your Spotify extended streaming history knows the difference. It's a record of every song you've played since you opened your account, and Spotify will send it to you for free. Upload it to mystats.music and those years of listening turn into a dashboard you can actually explore.

Here's what it can reveal.

Get your extended streaming history

Follow our step-by-step Spotify guide to request it. Pick Extended streaming history, not the standard account data: the extended one covers your whole account, not just the last year.

When Spotify's email arrives, drop the ZIP on the Spotify import page. No unzipping, no account, no Spotify login.

Your real all-time favorites

Wrapped shows you one year. Your extended history shows you all of them.

Start with your all-time top artists, songs and albums, then flip through the years with the timeframe picker. Some names stay near the top every single year. Others burned bright for one summer and disappeared. Seeing both side by side tells you who your real favorites are.

Plays versus listening time

mystats ranks your songs by how many times you played them, and shows your total listening time for each.

The two tell different stories. A short song you put on repeat will rack up plays. A long album cut you always listen to all the way through will rack up hours. Your dashboard shows both, so you can see which songs you played most and which ones you spent the most time with.

Only plays of 30 seconds or more count, and podcasts are left out, so your rankings reflect the music you actually listened to.

Every song has a story

Search any song and see the first time you ever played it, the last time, and how often you came back to it over the years. The same goes for artists: find out exactly when an artist entered your life, and which song brought them there.

Want to go further back? Listening history shows every play, day by day. Pick any date and see exactly what you were listening to.

Your artist storyline

Your storyline turns years of listening into chapters:

• When your favorites arrived: the day each of your top artists first showed up.
• One-song crushes: artists you only ever loved for one song.
• Comebacks: favorites who faded, then pulled you back in.
• Artists you left behind: the ones you quietly moved on from.

Plus discovery waves, long-term favorites, short flings and more, nine chapters in all.

It's built from your full history, so it tells your whole story, not just this year's.

Relive a chapter of your life

Pick a custom date range around a summer, a move, a breakup or a semester abroad. Your top songs from that stretch will bring back memories an all-time list smooths over.

The routine behind the music

The listening heatmap shows exactly when music fits into your day and week: morning commutes, late-night sessions, weekend marathons. You'll also see your peak hour, your longest listening session and your longest streak.

Your plays are shown in the local time where you listened. Music you played on holiday in Tokyo shows up at Tokyo time, not shifted to your time at home. And the Where you listened map shows every country you've played music in.

How you listen

Beyond what you play, mystats shows how you play it: your skip rate, how much you shuffle, which devices you use, and how much you listen offline.

Your data stays yours

Everything is processed right in your browser. Your listening history never leaves your device and is never uploaded to our servers. When you close the tab, it's gone. Keep your ZIP somewhere safe and you can upload it again any time. See our privacy page for the details.
