How to view your Spotify stats in a pie chart

As long as people listen to music, it is human nature to want to know what your own and others' music tastes look like. With the internet, you can view your own Spotify stats in a variety of ways, including an AI chatbot that makes fun of your "horrible" music taste. One of the more popular ways, however, is through a custom-tailored pie chart, featuring all of your eclectic listening styles.

In this tutorial, we will walk step-by-step through the process of finding your Spotify stats pie chart through the third-party app Spotify Pie, founded by a UCLA student. We will also offer IFTTT as another solution for connecting your Spotify account with other applications and gaining more functionality.

What are my Spotify Stats?

Spotify stats are simply the compilation of data from all your hours of streaming music, packaged into a format that we are interested in viewing. Oftentimes, people want to see who is their most listened-to artist, track, or album.

At the end of each year, Spotify releases its Spotify Wrapped, which provides a top-down analysis of your entire year's consumption. As you may know, Wrapped is incredibly popular as it is provided within the Spotify app, and presents your data in a sleek, shareable slideshow. It's not uncommon to see all of your friends sharing their Wrapped on social media the day it drops.

What if I want to view my Spotify stats right now, and don't want to wait until Wrapped time comes around? Luckily, there are many third-party websites that allow you to log into your Spotify account and view your statistics at any time. In this guide, we'll go over a popular site, Spotify Pie, and how to view your stats in a pie chart format.

What is IFTTT?

IFTTT, an acronym for "If This Then That," is our free web-based service and mobile app designed to boost productivity by automating tasks. It works by creating connections between popular apps and services, allowing them to work together seamlessly.

The basic idea behind IFTTT is to create "applets" or sets of instructions that trigger when certain conditions are met. This can be turning on the lights automatically when you enter your house, for example.

Founded in 2011, IFTTT has been used by over 25 million individuals to automate both business and home tasks, saving time and increasing efficiency. It's commonly used to connect disparate services and systems, making all products and services work well together in a way that instills user confidence. Best of all, it's free and only takes a couple of minutes to set up.
