What's public vs private
| Data | Can others see it? |
|---|---|
| Display name, photo, public playlists | Yes |
| Followers and following lists | Yes, unless the owner turns it off |
| Recently played artists on profile | Yes for adults by default, unless the owner turns it off |
| Current or last song (Listening activity) | Followers, if the owner shares it |
| Top songs and top artists, any time range | No |
| Full listening history, saved songs, private playlists | No |
| Wrapped and Listening stats | Only cards the owner shares |
The followers, recently played and Listening activity settings are toggles in Spotify's Privacy and social settings, and a private session hides your activity until it resets after 6 hours. Profile visits are never revealed either; see Spotify profile privacy.
Why no tool shows someone else's stats
Spotify's Web API only returns top artists and tracks for the account that logged in and granted the user-top-read permission. A site claiming to show anyone's top songs from a username can't get that data.
The closest you can get: follow them for public playlists, check Listening activity for what they're playing now, or ask them to share. For public numbers like followers, use the Spotify popularity checker. Artists see their own audience data in Spotify for Artists, along with the free promo tools inside Spotify for Artists. What you can see is their public profile, and here's how to find someone on Spotify, even without their username.
Seeing someone's Wrapped
Only the cards they share. Wrapped arrives privately in each person's app, and they choose what to post or send. On Apple Music the recap is Replay; see Apple Music's version of Wrapped.
See your own stats instead
Your own top artists and tracks are always available. Our guide on how to see your Spotify stats anytime covers every method, or find your own Wrapped each December. Your history also shapes your taste profile.
Music Profile Viewer is free and shows your top 10 artists and tracks for the last 4 weeks, 6 months and about a year, plus your last 10 plays.
How to share your listening stats
- Listening stats: the in-app snapshot of your past four weeks is built to be shared. Tap your profile picture, then Listening stats.
- Wrapped: share individual cards in December.
- A screenshot of your top artists from the free Spotify profile viewer.
