Global music streaming platform Spotify has introduced a new interactive feature called “Listening Stats”, designed to give users a dynamic and shareable recap of their weekly music activity.

Phiona Okumu, Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa at Spotify, announced the feature in a statement on Thursday in Lagos, describing it as a “game-changer for music conversation.”

According to Okumu, the new feature offers listeners a continuously updated view of their musical preferences. “This new data view is designed to be living and breathing — it updates every 24 hours, giving you a real-time look at your current musical direction and ensuring the freshest personalised recommendations,” she said.

Each week, users will receive an in-depth summary of their top artists and songs from the past month, along with curated playlists that reflect their listening habits. The feature also includes a weekly highlight, showcasing key moments such as new discoveries, milestones, or standout tracks that define a listener’s unique sound.

Okumu added that the Listening Stats feature is built for social engagement, allowing users to share snapshots, compare playlists, and explore what friends or colleagues are currently enjoying.

“Like its popular personalised siblings — Daylist, Release Radar, and Discover Weekly — Listening Stats is about exploring and defining your unique sound, making it the perfect prelude to Spotify Wrapped, our year-end celebration of music discovery,” she said.
