Spotify turns 20 and is introducing a new feature to celebrate. With “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s),” users will get a comprehensive look back at their personal use of the streaming service for the first time. This new in-app experience compiles key data from their entire time on Spotify and highlights various milestones in their music history.

The feature is aimed at users who want to track their listening habits over several years. Spotify compiles different information into a kind of digital time capsule. This includes, among other things, the first day on Spotify and the first song played through the service.

Personal Look Back at 20 Years of Spotify

With the new feature, Spotify also shows which artists have been listened to most frequently over the years. Users get an overview of their most-streamed artists of all time. Additionally, Spotify automatically creates a playlist with the 120 most-played songs. The platform also displays the respective play counts.

The new feature is designed to present a consolidated view of personal usage history. Spotify combines various data from the user’s account and presents it interactively in the app. The offering is available worldwide and can be accessed directly through the mobile Spotify app.

How to Access the Feature

To try out the new feature, users can simply search for “Spotify 20” in the Spotify app. This will launch the new in-app experience directly on their smartphone. Alternatively, “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)” can also be opened via the Spotify website on mobile devices.

Spotify also offers the option to save individual content as so-called Share Cards. These can then be shared via social networks. Users can directly publish specific sections of their personal music history.

With the anniversary feature, Spotify expands its existing offerings around personal year-in-review and usage statistics. Unlike previous summaries, “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)” focuses not just on individual periods but on the entire usage since signing up for the streaming service.
