Spotify Discover Weekly Turns 10

5 hours ago 1

There’s nothing quite like the magic of finding music that feels made just for you. Creating that sense of excitement, curiosity, and instant urge to share is what makes Spotify more than just an app. Ten years ago, it inspired us to launch Discover Weekly, a playlist that updates every Monday to spark those unforgettable “first listens.”

With more than 100 billion tracks streamed, Discover Weekly is the playlist that makes Mondays something to look forward to, connecting listeners with their next favorite artists or songs. Every week, the playlist ignites over 56 million new artist discoveries, with 77% coming from emerging artists.

Over the years, Discover Weekly has become a Monday ritual for millions of listeners—a discovery journey into songs and artists handpicked just for them. As Spotify’s first personalized playlist, it ushered in a wave of innovations, like Release Radar, Blend, daylist, DJ, and AI Playlist, each building on the idea that music discovery should feel effortless and personal. Through it all, Discover Weekly has remained a trusted source for helping listeners find their next favorite songs.

Here’s a closer look at the impact Discover Weekly has made over the years:

More control, more discovery, and a fresh new look

To mark this milestone, we’re upgrading Discover Weekly with a refreshed look. The playlist’s vibrant new design reflects its ever-evolving nature and the dynamic energy of weekly discovery, bringing users something new every Monday.

But this isn’t just a visual refresh—we’re also making Discover Weekly even more personal. Starting today and rolling out on mobile over the coming weeks, new controls at the top of your playlist let you guide the vibe with a simple tap. Choose from up to five genre options, personalized based on your listening history, and you’ll get a fresh 30-track playlist inspired by your selection.

Whether you’re in the mood for something familiar or want to switch things up, your playlist will instantly adapt to match your mood, helping you discover new favorites and deep cuts from artists you already love. These controls are currently rolling out to Spotify Premium users, with plans to bring them to more listeners soon.
