Get your full Spotify history

Spotify only lets us see your last 50 plays. To get stats from the day you made your account, ask Spotify for a copy of your listening history and upload it here.

    Open your Spotify privacy settings

    Go to spotify.com/account/privacy and log in. Use a web browser: the Spotify app doesn't have this option, but the website works on your phone too.

    Scroll down to “Download your data”

    Wait for Spotify

    Spotify says it can take up to 30 days, but it's usually a few days. Nothing is lost meanwhile: stats.lk keeps saving everything you play.

Questions

Why can't stats.lk get my history by itself?
Spotify only lets us see your last 50 plays. Your full history is only in this export, and only you can ask for it.
What about the “Account data” option?
It only covers the last year and has no track IDs, so it can't be matched to Spotify. Extended streaming history covers your whole account.
Is my data safe?
The file is read in your browser. Only the track, the time and how long you listened reach stats.lk. IP addresses and device details in the export never leave your device.
Do I have to do this again later?
No. After the import, stats.lk keeps saving your plays by itself.
