How to See Your Top Artists on Spotify

In this article, you'll learn how to find your top artists on Spotify. This is especially useful if you listen to a lot of different music and can't remember some of the artists you may have discovered.

How to Access Your Top Artists on Spotify

While you can't see specific artists you've listened to most often in Spotify itself, you can view your top music and playlists on the Spotify website. In the Spotify app, the Artist recommendations are drawn from the top music you like.

1. In the Spotify mobile app, Select Your Library from the bottom menu, and then select Artists from the top menu. This will show you Spotify's top recommended artists based on the artists you listen to most often.
   

2. On the Spotify website, select Home from the left menu. Scroll down to the Recently played section to see artists you've recently listened to. If you scroll down further you'll see a Based on your recent listening section with recommendations related to your most recent top artists.
   

3. While these two options show you either your recent listening habits or music related to your top artists, they don't specifically list top artists. To do this, you'll need to use a third-party service, which is detailed in the next section.
   

See Top Artists With Stats for Spotify

If you use the website or mobile app Stats for Spotify, you can quickly see the top artists you listen to in just a few simple steps.

1. Visit the Stats for Spotify site and log in using your Spotify credentials. If you're already logged into Spotify with the same browser, you may just need to provide the website with permission to access your Spotify account by clicking Agree.
   

2. Once logged in, select either the Top Artists button, or the Top Artists menu item at the top of the page.
   

3. This will take you to a page that displays the top artists you've listened to over the last four weeks. You can switch this view to the last 6 months, or all time (since you've been using Spotify).
   

4. Download and install the Stats for Spotify app for Android. This app isn't available for iOS but there is a similar one to view your top artists called Statistics for Spotify Music. Once you log into the app with your Spotify credentials, you'll need to give the app permission to access your account.
   

5. On the main page of the app, you'll see a Top Artists past 4 weeks section. Swipe to the left to see the entire list.
   

6. If you want to change the date range for your top artists, or see other things like top tracks or top albums, tap the More link to the right of the section title. This will show you all top artists, and you can tap the links at the bottom to change the view to 6 months or lifetime.

What Are Top Artists on Spotify?

Spotify is great at providing you with lists of popular music and artists. These are lists curated from what most Spotify users listen to. But if you want to review the artists you listen to the most, the process isn't quite as easy.

Spotify does offer you a way to review genres and playlists you've listened to most often, but it isn't easy to see specific artists. A third-party service you can access with your Spotify account that lets you do exactly that, as outlined above.
