You Have to Make Your Own “Spotify Pie” Chart
From Year-End Wrapped Spotify to numerous apps that categorize your music library showcasing your favorite music artists and genres, that’s half the fun of using a streaming music platform.
What is the Spotify Pie?
The latest trend in Spotify listening statistics is “Spotify Pie”. Created by UCLA student Darren Huang, this simple web app analyzes all the songs you’ve listened to in the last month, categorizes the songs into specific genres, and turns all the data into a pie chart that you can share with your friends on social media. It’s similar to Spotify Wrapped, but much simpler, and you can use it whenever you want instead of waiting until the end of the year to see which artists and genres rank highest for you.
Spotify Pie is an unofficial third-party app, but it works on almost all desktop and mobile browsers. Note that you need to be logged into your Spotify account to see your results, but your listening history is the only data the app accesses and should be safe otherwise.
How to Create Your Own Spotify Pie
If you’ve seen other Spotify listeners share their Spotify Pies on social media and want to try it out for yourself, here’s how to do it:
- First, open the Spotify Pie webpage on your phone or desktop.
- Click “Sign in to Spotify” and sign in with the account you want to create a pie chart for.
- After you sign in, the Spotify Pie web app will create a genre wheel. From there, you can share your results or take a screenshot.
I’ve tried Spotify Pie myself, and while I wasn’t surprised by which bands I’ve listened to the most over the past few weeks, I was shocked at how hyper-specific the app was for music genres. This has more to do with how Spotify categorizes songs than how Spotify Pie does it, but I’ve seen some users be surprised or even confused by the genres in their pie chart.
Genre labels aside, Spotify Pie is still a fun and easy way to track and share your music listening stats with others. Be sure to give it a try, but don’t be surprised if some of your slices of the pie end up in genres you’ve never heard of before.
