Modern music listeners love to keep tabs on their listening habits, especially Spotify users who count down the days to the annual Spotify Wrapped event. Listeners love finding out what their most listened to song is, and whether the likes of Taylor Swift and Drake once again topped the list of their favourite artists - but did you know you can keep updated regularly throughout the year?

Yes, that's right. You do not need to sit down, wait and twiddle your thumbs for the next 365 days - instead, enter Stats for Spotify.

Stats for Spotify is a third-party app much like Instafest, which took the music streaming landscape by storm last year. Stats for Spotify is the go-to tool for users who want to keep track of the musicians, tracks and genres that have been dominating their speakers. A major difference between it and Spotify Wrapped is it will not just give you information from the last twelve months, but the last month and also of all time.

It does not end there - say if you were on a long cross-country car journey and your tried-and-trusted Spotify playlist has come to an end and so Spotify started playing random songs that you liked, but once you get home you can not remember what they were called. Stats for Spotify tracks a full list of the recent songs you have played on your travels under the Recently Played section, so you can find out the name of the song and artist in order to save it.

But how do you access it? Here is everything you need to know about Stats for Spotify.
