What Stats and Features Does stats.fm Offer?

Updated

stats.fm (formerly Spotistats for Spotify) is a music-statistics app that turns your listening activity into detailed personal insights. You can view top tracks, artists, and albums; sort lists by playtime or stream count; and get per-item personalized stats. Some features—particularly lifetime history and parts of the top lists—may require importing your streaming history to unlock. The app is available on Android and iOS.

Core stats you can view

The main draw is a set of ranked lists built from your listening data:

  • Top tracks — your most-played songs.
  • Top artists — your most-played artists.
  • Top albums — your most-played albums.

These are presented "at a glance," so you can scan your rankings quickly rather than digging through raw data.

How lists can be organized

stats.fm lets you reorder these lists using different criteria:

  • By playtime — total minutes or hours spent listening.
  • By stream count — number of plays.
  • Using ordering methods from connected services — the app can apply ordering logic from the services you've connected.

This matters because "most played" can mean different things. A song you looped 200 times for two minutes each may rank differently by stream count than by playtime compared to a long album you played start to finish a few times.

Personalized stats per item

Beyond the top lists, stats.fm applies what it describes as "state of the art algorithms" to generate advanced, personalized stats for each item you click on. In practice, this means tapping into a specific track, artist, or album surfaces deeper context about how that item fits into your listening habits—not just its rank.

Importing your lifetime history

A key feature is the ability to import your complete streaming history. According to stats.fm, this unlocks "a wave of fantastic features." The site notes that importing your streaming history may be required to unlock part or all of certain features, including the top lists marked with an asterisk.

If you want the fullest picture of your listening over time—rather than only recent activity—the import step is likely necessary. The app frames this as a "unique import process," so it's worth completing early if lifetime stats are your goal.

Sharing and privacy controls

stats.fm includes social and privacy features alongside the stats:

  • Share your profile by link — send friends a link to your stats.
  • Send friend requests — connect with others on the platform.
  • View friends' stats — available only if their privacy settings allow it.
  • Control what you share — privacy settings let you choose which parts of your profile others can see.
  • Delete your data — you can request deletion of all your data at any time in account settings.

The site states that it only stores the data needed to provide the experience and that all data is stored securely.

Availability and affiliation

  • Platforms: Android and iOS.
  • Spotify relationship: stats.fm is not affiliated with Spotify AB. Data is provided by Spotify, and album artwork and other copyrighted content belong to their respective owners.
