Music fans who use Spotify are constantly given facts about their choices, from how many hours they listened to one artist to who they stream the most.

And the company has just launched a new statistical tool for its users called Todays Top Fans.

But what is it and how does it work?

What is Todays Top Fans?

Todays Top Fans is a new feature by Spotify which lets users find out their most streamed artist and songs.

Whether its seven continuous streamed hours of Ariana Grande or what percent super fan you are based on their listening habits for your top artist, this gives music fans this knowledge at their fingertips.

Its a slightly updated version of 2020s Top 1 per cent of Fans feature, and Spotify said it provides a definitive way to prove you listen to these artists more than any other fan. This isnt a measure of how early on youve been listening to an artist. Its a measure of how many times you have streamed an artists song on Spotify.

How does it work?

Users need to log on to todaystopfans.byspotify.com where they can access it on their computers and mobile phones.

Once logged in, users can see the stats for their most played artist by swiping across.

They can then scroll through all their stats including:

• The most listened to artist
• When they first listened to them
• Their top three songs of their most listened to artist
• How many times they have played their favourite song

It also tells users how many hours they have spent listening to that artist and what percentage of the top fans of that artist you are in.
