Your top lists are the heart of stats.fm — they show what you've been listening to most across different time periods.
What you can see
- Top tracks — your most-listened-to songs
- Top artists — your most-listened-to artists
- Top genres — the genres you stream the most, calculated from your top artists
Time ranges
Your top lists are organized into three time ranges:
- Last 4 weeks — what you've been listening to recently
- Last 6 months — what you've been into for a while
- Lifetime (Plus) or Last 1 year (Free) — your longer-term favorites
How items are ranked
By default, stats.fm uses Spotify's own algorithm to rank your top items. This is the same method other Spotify stats services use. Spotify hasn't documented exactly how the ranking works, but it's known to weigh factors like play frequency, recency, completion rate, and behavioral patterns. The default ranking has limitations — it can sometimes miss items you've actually streamed a lot, and it's limited to three time ranges. If you want more accurate top lists based on actual play counts (or time listened), with custom date ranges and longer lists, you'll need to import your streaming history. After importing, you can also sort by play count or by total time listened. Learn more in our Import FAQ.
What about top albums?
Top albums are a Plus feature and aren't available on the free plan. With Plus, you get full top album rankings alongside your tracks and artists. See About stats.fm Plus for the full list of Plus features.
