If you follow music lovers on the mainstream social media platforms, you may have noticed that more and more users are posting a graphic of their personal taste in music. These graphics come with a service called Spotify Pie
created and it’s very easy. We show you how to do it.
Spotify Pie is not a service from the streaming provider itself, but from Darren Huang, a programmer and student at the University of California at Los Angeles. The service grabs data from your listening behavior over the past month and summarizes it in a pie chart.
The different colored pieces of cake each represent a subgenrethat you heard. This is where Spotify Pie is very accurate. However, the diagram does not show exact percentages, which is why you can only estimate them based on the size of the piece.
Below you will find a list of artists and bands that you have listened to in the last month. The bigger the font, the more times you’ve listened to that artist. Darren Huang’s website where you create the chart is optimized for smartphones. On the desktop, the display is simply too big for the screen.
We are looking for reinforcements in the tech area! If you would also like to write cool tech stories and articles on GameStar, including about smartphones, apps, gadgets and the like, then take a look at our job advertisement.
This is how you create your Spotify Pie
If you want to create and share your own Spotify Pie, it’s easy. Of course, the prerequisite for this is an active Spotify account with which you have been listening to music in the last month. You proceed as follows:
- Opens the Darren Huang’s website
- Click
Login to Spotify
- Log in to the accounts.spotify.com official page that now opens and confirm that the program is allowed to use your data
After confirmation, your personal Spotify pie chart will be set up in a flash. Now here you can see subgenres and artists that you listened to the most there. If you want to share this, it’s best to take a screenshot of it, save it and then upload it to a social media platform of your choice. The diagram should then look something like this:
