Connect Spotify to Last.fm

  1. Sign in at last.fm in a web browser.
  2. Hover over your profile picture (top right) and click Settings.
  3. Open the Applications tab, or go straight to last.fm/settings/applications.
  4. Click Connect next to Spotify Scrobbling.
  5. Approve Last.fm's access on Spotify's screen.

There's nothing to change inside Spotify. Per Last.fm's Track My Music page, plays then scrobble from Spotify's desktop and mobile apps, the web player and any Spotify connected device.

A track counts once it's longer than 30 seconds and you've played half of it or 4 minutes, whichever comes first (Last.fm's scrobbling rules). New to this? See what is scrobbling.

Fix "Your Spotify connection has expired"

That message means Last.fm lost access to your Spotify account, so new plays aren't being saved. Reconnect:

  1. Go to last.fm/settings/applications.
  2. Click Disconnect next to Spotify Scrobbling.
  3. Click Connect and approve access on Spotify again.
  4. Play a full track and check your recent tracks on Last.fm.

Also confirm you're playing on the same Spotify account you connected. Still stuck? Our checklist for when Last.fm is not scrobbling covers the rarer causes.

See your Spotify listening two ways

Our Last.fm stats viewer shows top artists, tracks and albums for any Last.fm username, from the last 7 days to all time. Our Spotify profile viewer reads Spotify directly: your top 10 artists and tracks for the last 4 weeks, 6 months and about 12 months, read-only.

Using other services? You can connect Deezer to Last.fm too from Deezer's own settings, while Apple Music needs a scrobbler app.
