Spotify Stream Counter

Yes. Paste the song’s Spotify link into the stream counter above to see its latest available stream count and history, for any song, without access to the artist’s Spotify for Artists account.

The Spotify mobile app shows little or no play count data. Open this stream counter in your phone’s browser instead, then paste the song’s Spotify link (Share › Copy link in the app) to see its streams and history.

Spotify shows play counts only in some places, mainly its desktop app and web player, on album pages and an artist’s popular tracks. Songs with fewer than 1,000 plays don’t show a number at all. The stream counter shows the count and its history for any song.

The counter shows the latest count available to artist.tools; it should not be read as a guaranteed update after every play. Spotify for Artists has a separate live stream count for the first seven days of a new release. Its other artist statistics update on a different schedule. If you need to judge a very recent campaign, allow for reporting delays and compare the same track at later points in time. Spotify explains its update schedule.

Yes. The chart shows how many streams a song gained between each recorded day, and its average daily streams over the last 7 days.

Spotify counts a song stream once a listener has played it for at least 30 seconds. Plays of downloaded music are counted when the listener reconnects. A stream is a play, not a unique listener: one person can generate more than one stream. See Spotify's stream-counting rules.

Yes. Each play of at least 30 seconds counts as a stream, including repeat plays by the same listener. Spotify filters out plays it considers artificial.

Yes. Spotify counts a play, listen or stream the same way: once a song has been played for at least 30 seconds. Some people call them views, too. The Spotify app shows play counts in a few places; the stream counter adds their history.

Not with the stream counter. It counts a song’s public streams from all listeners; it doesn’t track how many minutes you, or anyone else, listened. Spotify Wrapped shows your minutes listened each year, and you can request your full listening history in your Spotify account’s privacy settings.

First, check that you are comparing the same recording and the same kind of total. A track can appear in several versions or on several releases, and those releases often share one stream count. Counts can also be captured at different times, so two services may temporarily show different numbers. When reviewing a change, compare like with like and use the track's recorded history rather than assuming every displayed total refreshes at the same moment.

Spotify doesn’t show an album total. Add up the play counts of its tracks, or check each track in the stream counter to see its streams and how they’re growing.

There’s no fixed rate: it depends on where listeners are and how they subscribe. On average it’s roughly $0.00238 per stream, or about $2,380 per million streams. Estimate any song’s earnings with the Spotify royalties calculator.

Yes, checking a song’s stream count is free. Paid plans add the full stream history and alerts. Compare plans.
