Spotify has released a time capsule feature for listeners to view their entire music history, including their first day on the platform.The feature was launched on Tuesday to mark the app’s 20th anniversary and allows users a chance to look at new data from when they first joined the platform.The music streaming platform also created a new All Time Top Songs Playlist, a collection of listeners’ top 120 tracks and play counts.
Users can also see the very first song they ever streamed, and for some in the Metro office, the results were surprising.Audience writer Steve Charnock said: ‘There might be a bug in this, y’know.’ Spotify found that he listened to 7,115 minutes of an artist named Nificent, who has four monthly listeners.‘I also have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA who he is.’ For myself, I wasn’t surprised to see my top-streamed song of all time was ‘Cocky AF’ by Megan Thee Stallion.
I have a hot girl summer every year.SEO reporter Andy Gaudion’s first streamed song was ‘Another Day of Sun’ from the La La Land soundtrack, and his top-streamed song was ‘Runnin” from the Creed 2 soundtrack.A self-proclaimed movie buff, the results weren’t surprising.
Music reporter Danni Scott’s top-streamed song was Defying Gravity, the original Broadway cast version, with Guns and Ships from Hamilton as a close second.Users can find the feature by opening the Spotify app and searching ‘Spotify 20’ or ‘Party of the Year(s)’.Earlier this year, Spotify revealed that Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny were the most-streamed artists of all time since it first launched.
