What is Spotify Charts (charts.spotify.com)?

Spotify Charts is Spotify's official charts website, hosted at charts.spotify.com. It is the place to see what music is trending on Spotify across artists, genres, cities, and local markets. If you want to know what fans around the world — or in a specific place — are actually listening to, this is the site to check.

What you can do on the site

The site is built around browsing listening trends rather than playing music. According to its own description, you can dive into:

• Artist charts — see which artists are moving up or holding steady.
• Genre charts — track momentum within a specific style of music.
• City charts — find out what's popular in a particular city.
• Local pulse charts — get a read on what's resonating in a local market.

The stated purpose is straightforward: help you see what music is moving fans around the world. It's a discovery and reference tool, not a streaming player.

Who runs it

Spotify Charts is operated by Spotify itself. The page footer carries the standard Spotify legal and support links — Legal, Privacy, Cookies, and FAQ — along with a Spotify AB copyright notice. That footer is also where you'd go for questions about how the data is handled or how the site works.

When it's useful

• You want a quick, credible snapshot of what's popular globally or in a specific city.
• You're comparing how an artist or genre performs across different regions.
• You need a reference point for music trends without digging through playlists or social feeds.

If your goal is simply to listen to the songs you find, you'll need to move over to Spotify itself — charts.spotify.com is for seeing the trends, not playing the tracks.
