Spotify releases time capsule feature for listeners to view entire music history

The app was launched to mark 20 years of Spotify (Spotify/PA) -

Music streaming app Spotify has released a time capsule-like feature for listeners to view their entire music history including their first day on the platform.

The feature, Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year (s), was launched on Tuesday to mark the app’s 20th anniversary.

The music history experience was designed to give users the chance to look back at their time on Spotify with new data from when they first joined such as the first song they ever streamed, the total number of unique songs listened to as well as users’ all-time most streamed artist.

The music streaming platform also created a new All Time Top Songs Playlist – a collection of listener’s top 120 tracks and display the play counts.

Users can find the feature by opening the Spotify app and search “Spotify 20” or “Party of the Year(s)”.

Earlier this year the streamer revealed that Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny were the most streamed artists of all time on Spotify since it first launched.

The stars topped the Spotify At 20: The Most Streamed Music, Podcasts, and Audiobooks Of All Time list, with the Puerto Rican rapper also topping the most streamed albums of all time list with his 2022 record Un Verano Sin Ti.

Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye, triumphed in the most streamed albums list where he appeared three times with Starboy at number two, After Hours at number five and Beauty Behind the Madness at number 20.

In April, the Swedish music streaming group announced a jump in the number of subscribers despite hiking prices in the UK and some of its biggest markets worldwide.

It reported a higher-than-expected 12% rise in monthly active users, to 761 million in the first three months of the year, and a 9% rise in paying subscribers to 293 million.

This came in spite of the group pushing through recent price increases, with UK premium subscriptions rising 8.3% or £1 to £12.99 a month as of November, while family plans increased by £2 to £21.99 a month.
