stats.fm

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.

Quick reference

If your goal is simply to see your current top artists and tracks, the basic stats cover that. If you want a complete, long-term record of your listening and access to every feature, plan on importing your streaming history.

stats.fm (formerly Spotistats for Spotify) stores only the data it needs to provide its stats features, keeps that data secure, and gives you direct control over what you share and when you delete it. You can limit which parts of your profile others see, share your stats by link, and delete all your data from your account settings at any time. These controls apply to the account you create on stats.fm; the service is not affiliated with Spotify AB, and the data it displays is provided by Spotify.

What data stats.fm stores and why

According to stats.fm's own description, the service follows a data-minimization approach: "We only store the data we need to store to provide you with a magical experience, and all data is stored securely."

In practice, that means:

• Account and connection data — needed to log you in and connect your streaming account so stats can be generated.
• Listening history data — used to build your top tracks, artists, and albums, and your personalized stats.
• Imported streaming history — if you use the import process to bring in your complete streaming history, that data is stored so features built on lifetime history can work.

stats.fm notes that importing your streaming history "may be required to unlock (part of)" the top-lists and lifetime-history features. So the amount of data involved depends on how much of the service you use.

Who can see your stats

Sharing is opt-in and controlled by you:

• Link sharing — you can share your stats with friends simply by sharing a link to your profile.
• Friend requests — you can send friend requests, and if a friend's privacy settings allow it, you can view their stats at any time.
• Privacy settings — if you don't want to share part of your stats or profile, you use the privacy settings to select which parts of your profile are shared with others.

The key point: what others can see is bounded by the privacy settings on the profile being viewed. If someone has restricted a section, it isn't visible to you even as a friend.

Deleting your data

stats.fm states that you can request deletion of all your data "anytime in your account settings." There is no described waiting period or special process beyond going to your account settings — the control sits with you.

Quick reference

What to check before you connect

• Decide on history import first. If you don't want your full streaming history stored, skip the import — but expect some top-list and lifetime features to stay locked.
• Set privacy before sharing your link. Adjust which profile sections are visible, then share, so you don't expose more than intended.
• Use account settings for deletion. If you want out entirely, that's the stated path — no separate request channel is described.

One caveat: stats.fm's public description doesn't spell out retention periods, encryption specifics, or regional data-handling details. If those matter to you, treat the statements above as the service's own claims and review its Privacy and Terms pages before connecting an account.

stats.fm (formerly Spotistats for Spotify) is a music statistics app that connects to your Spotify account and shows you detailed insights into your listening habits. To get started, download the app on Android or iOS, log in with Spotify, and optionally import your lifetime streaming history to unlock the full set of features. The app is built around three things: personalized stats, privacy control, and social sharing.

Step 1: Download the app

stats.fm is available on both major mobile platforms:

• Android — available via the download link on the stats.fm website
• iOS — available via the download link on the stats.fm website

The site's footer lists "Download" as a primary action, and the page states the app is "Available on Android & iOS."

Step 2: Log in with Spotify

Once installed, you log in with your Spotify account. According to the site, this is a one-click process: "With the click of a button, you'll be logged into your account, instantly gaining access to a valhalla of cool stats and insights."

After logging in, you land in a dashboard of personalized stats. The app uses what it describes as "state of the art algorithms" to generate relevant, advanced stats for each item you click on — tracks, artists, and albums.

Step 3: Import your lifetime history (optional but recommended)

Some features are gated behind a streaming history import. The site marks certain features with an asterisk and notes: "* import of streaming history may be required to unlock (part of) this feature."

Importing your complete streaming history is what enables the deeper features, including full top lists and lifetime totals. The site calls this "our unique import process" and says it brings in "your complete streaming history."

What you get from importing:

• Top tracks, artists, and albums across your full history
• The ability to organize lists by playtime, stream count, or ordering methods from connected services
• Lifetime totals rather than just recent listening

One caveat from the site itself: "Total stats currently unavailable" appears as a status note, so some aggregate views may not be live at all times.

Step 4: Share your stats and connect with friends

Sharing works through a profile link. The site describes it as "as easy as sharing a link to your profile to share your stats with friends." From there:

1. Send friend requests to people you know.
2. If a friend's privacy settings allow it, you can view their stats at any time.
3. You can preview what a shared profile looks like via the example page linked on the site.

What you can control

Privacy is handled through account settings rather than being fixed:

Friend visibility depends on the other person's privacy settings — you can only see their stats if they've allowed it.

Is stats.fm affiliated with Spotify?

No. The site states plainly: "stats.fm is in no way affiliated with Spotify AB." Data is provided by Spotify AB, and copyrighted content such as album artwork belongs to its respective owners. stats.fm is operated by StatsFM B.V., based in the Netherlands, and was formerly known as Spotistats for Spotify.

Quick checklist

• [ ] Download stats.fm on Android or iOS
• [ ] Log in with your Spotify account
• [ ] Import your streaming history to unlock full stats
• [ ] Adjust privacy settings to control what's shared
• [ ] Share your profile link and add friends

If you only want a quick look at your top tracks and artists, logging in is enough. If you want lifetime totals and the complete picture, the history import is the step that matters.

stats.fm is a music statistics and analytics platform for Spotify users, formerly known as Spotistats for Spotify. It connects to your Spotify account and turns your listening activity into detailed personal stats—top tracks, artists, and albums, plus deeper insights into your music taste. It is available as an app on Android and iOS. Note that stats.fm states it is in no way affiliated with Spotify AB; data is provided by Spotify, and album artwork and other copyrighted content belong to their respective owners.

What stats.fm does

According to the site, stats.fm's core promise is "Your music, your stats, your story"—giving you a new dimension of insight into your music taste rather than just a playback list.

Key capabilities described on the site:

• Personalized stats — "state of the art algorithms" surface relevant, advanced, and personalized stats for each item you click on.
• Top lists — view your top tracks, artists, and albums at a glance, and organize lists by playtime, stream count, or ordering methods from connected services.
• Lifetime history import — a unique import process brings in your complete streaming history to unlock a broader set of features.
• Friend connections — share your profile via a link, send friend requests, and view friends' stats if their privacy settings allow it.
• Data control — privacy settings let you choose which parts of your profile to share, and you can delete all your data anytime in account settings.

How to get started

1. Log in with your Spotify account. The site describes this as a one-click process: "With the click of a button, you'll be logged into your account."
2. Explore your stats. After logging in, you gain access to stats and insights for your listening history.
3. Import your streaming history if needed. Some features—particularly top lists and lifetime history—may require importing your streaming history to unlock. The site marks these with an asterisk and notes: "import of streaming history may be required to unlock (part of) this feature."
4. Adjust privacy and sharing. Decide what parts of your profile to share, and connect with friends by sharing your profile link.

Expected result: a personalized dashboard of your listening data, with the option to compare and share with friends.

Availability and access

• Platforms: Android and iOS apps, plus the stats.fm website.
• Account: Requires logging in with Spotify.
• Pricing: The site references "stats.fm Plus" in its navigation, but the provided page content does not state prices, plan details, or which features are paid. Treat Plus as a distinct offering whose terms you should check directly on the site.
• Total stats: The page notes "Total stats currently unavailable," so that particular view may not be accessible at the time of writing.

Privacy and security

stats.fm says it prioritizes privacy and security, storing only the data needed to provide the experience and keeping it stored securely. You retain control: you can limit what you share through privacy settings and delete all your data from account settings at any time.

A practical example

Suppose you want to know which artist you've actually listened to the most over the past year—not just what Spotify's year-end recap shows. You log in to stats.fm, import your streaming history, and sort your top artists by playtime or stream count. You can then share that profile link with a friend, who can view your stats if your privacy settings permit.

What to keep in mind

• stats.fm is independent of Spotify; it uses Spotify-provided data but is not affiliated with Spotify AB.
• Some features depend on importing your streaming history—without it, parts of the experience stay locked.
• The site lists a Plus tier but does not disclose pricing on the page provided, so verify current terms before assuming any feature is free.
• "Total stats" is noted as currently unavailable, so don't rely on that view.

No. stats.fm is an independent third-party product and is not affiliated with Spotify AB. The site states this directly: "stats.fm is in no way affiliated with Spotify AB." It does, however, rely on Spotify for both data and account access, so the relationship is one of dependency rather than partnership.

How the two are actually connected

stats.fm works on top of your Spotify account rather than replacing it. Two things link them:

• Login: You connect by logging into your Spotify account. The site describes this as a one-click process that immediately gives you access to your stats.
• Data source: Your listening data is provided by Spotify AB. That is why the service can show your top tracks, artists, and albums without you entering anything manually.

So Spotify supplies the raw material; stats.fm turns it into stats and insights.

What "not affiliated" means for you

The disclaimer matters because it tells you who is responsible for what:

A practical consequence: if something is wrong with your Spotify account or listening history on Spotify's side, stats.fm can't fix it. And if a stat looks off, that's a stats.fm question, not a Spotify one.

Is it safe to connect?

The site says it prioritizes privacy and security, stores only the data it needs to provide the service, and keeps that data stored securely. It also gives you direct control:

• Privacy settings let you choose which parts of your profile others can see.
• Account settings let you delete all your data at any time.
• Sharing works by sending a link to your profile; friends can view your stats only if their privacy settings allow it.

These are the site's own claims about its practices. If your concern is specifically about Spotify's involvement, note that Spotify is the data provider here, not a co-operator of the service.

The short version

stats.fm is a separate company (StatsFM B.V., based in the Netherlands, formerly known as Spotistats for Spotify) that builds stats on top of Spotify data. It is not Spotify, not owned by Spotify, and not officially partnered with it — it just needs your Spotify login and Spotify's data to work.
