One of the best features of music-listening apps like Spotify is getting to track your top artists, songs, and genres.

Read on for an easy guide to finding your top artists and other Spotify data.

Quick Steps

Open the Spotify desktop app or web player.
Click your profile picture and select "Profile."
“Go to "Top artists this month.”
Click “Show all” to view all of your top artists from the past month.

- Your top artists are based on the total number of streams they got from you—so, how many times you listened to one of their tracks for a minimum of 30 seconds. The more you listen to them, the more likely it is that they’ll be one of your top artists in any given month. This is true whether you listen to one of their songs on repeat, or many songs just once.^{[2]
