How pies are counted
Spotify Pie Chart is made by Trackify, a listening-stats service for Spotify. It isn’t affiliated with Spotify.
Your own pie
Spotify gives a signed-in app your top artists for the last four weeks, six months and about a year, in order, with no play counts. Each artist counts by rank: the first counts most, following the curve of real listening among Trackify’s tracked listeners, where the first artist of a top fifty is typically 13.8% of plays and the tenth 2.5%. An artist’s share is split evenly over its genres.
A playlist’s pie, and typed artists
Each song in a playlist counts once, up to the first 500, split over the genres of its artists. Typed artists each count once. Neither needs a Spotify account, and this site never calls Spotify itself: it asks Trackify.
The world’s pies
Country pies are Spotify’s own public “Top 50” playlists for 70 countries and the world, read once a day and counted like any playlist. They are not counted from anyone’s listening.
Genres
Spotify’s API returns 772 genres today and leaves many artists with none. Trackify adds the 6,687 older Spotify microgenres it still holds, and MusicBrainz genres where Spotify has neither. That takes the share of listeners who lose a top-five artist from their pie from 75% to 15.3% (measured 13 November 2026, 4,135 listeners), and it keeps falling as more artists are filled in.
Families
Every genre belongs to one of 24 families, decided by written rules: no model classifies anything. The rules place 99.8% of listening; the rest is “Other”. Each family has one colour, the same on every pie.
Numbers on genre pages
“Trackify listeners” means people with a public Trackify profile. A number is shown only when at least 50 listeners are behind it, and it is rounded. Artists on a genre page are the ones most of those listeners have in their top fifty. Definitions are written for this site from open sources; a page is opened to search engines once its definition has been checked.
Shared pies
A shared pie is a copy someone chose to share from Trackify, under an address nobody can guess. It shows a first name and the pie, is not listed anywhere, and can be taken down by its owner.
