My Top Spotify Artists

The question that brought you here — how to see your top artists on Spotify — has an annoying official answer: a short profile shelf in the app, a few API weeks on third-party sites, and one Wrapped reel per year. This page gives the complete answer instead: upload your data export and your top Spotify artists are ranked across your entire imported history, with plays, listening time, unique-track counts and share of your total listening time.

No login and no Spotify connection is involved at any point. You bring the export you downloaded from Account Privacy; the site does the rest in your browser, and your top Spotify artists stay strictly between you and your device.

Plays are grouped by artist name from your normalized history, with meaningful plays (30 seconds or more) deciding the default order and total listening time breaking ties. The share column shows how much of your total music listening time each of your top Spotify artists owns — the number that separates casual fans from discography archaeologists. Top Spotify artists concentrate attention.

Podcast and video events never enter the ranking. One honest limitation: when the export carries no artist IDs, two different artists with identical names can theoretically merge — rare, but documented here because you deserve the fine print behind your top Spotify artists too.

The range tabs recompute your top Spotify artists from your events, anchored to the newest play in your import — not to today's date, which would silently empty an old archive's “last 30 days” view. Watch your top Spotify artists reshuffle between the all-time list and the recent windows; the differences are your taste's change log.

Comparing the all-time ranking with the 30-day view is the fastest personality test on this site: stable legends at the top, a rotating supporting cast below. Both are your top Spotify artists story.

A note on interpretation: share percentages can be small even for die-hard fans when a library is wide, and huge for casual listeners who rotate three names all year. Your top Spotify artists list rewards attention density, not taste quality — there is no such thing as a wrong number one.

Everything starts with the export: on spotify.com open Account → Privacy settings → Download your data, and select Extended streaming history so your top Spotify artists ranking covers the account's full lifetime. When the ZIP arrives weeks later, drop it above — no unzipping, no login — and the ranking renders in seconds.

Already have the JSON files extracted? Upload them directly. Duplicates across overlapping imports are removed automatically, so your top Spotify artists never double-count.

The CSV button saves the current view of your top Spotify artists — rank, artist, plays, listening minutes, unique tracks and share — filtered exactly as configured. Build your year-end list, back up your rankings, or bring receipts to the next music argument.

The file is UTF-8 with a byte order mark, so artist names in any alphabet survive the trip through Excel. What you download is exactly what the page computed — the same indexes, the same filters, zero server involvement.

Spotify Wrapped counts what Spotify counts, with private sessions and other filters applied behind the curtain. This ranking of your top Spotify artists counts precisely what your export contains, with published rules you can audit. Small differences are expected; big ones usually mean Wrapped's year boundary versus your full-history view.

This ranking, like every view on this site, is computed entirely in your browser. The export is parsed by a worker thread, stored in your own IndexedDB, and never transmitted anywhere. One click on “Clear local data” deletes the archive and your top Spotify artists ranking with it — no residual copies exist, because no server ever saw the data in the first place.
