In this article, we will dive into what Spotify DNA is, how it works, and how it dictates your very own unique musical identity.
Algorithms of Spotify are quite smart and work in the background very well, monitoring and analyzing what you listen to, when you listen to it, and even how many times you replay particular tracks. Here are some of the most important metrics incorporated into your Spotify DNA:
Listening frequency: The number of times you listen to a particular track, artist, or genre is an essential element in your Spotify DNA. Are you binging on pop, or revisiting the old rock anthems? All of this is tracked and forms a pretty detailed picture of your preferences.
Genres: Spotify lists the kind of music under different genres and sub-genres.
Time of Day Listening: It matters when you listen too.
Song Skipping: It also tracks how many times you skip over the song. The more you tend to skip genres or tracks off, the less likely those songs are in your main preferences that the algorithm perceives. Conversely, if you tend to end off tracks you hear repeatedly, the algorithm perceives this to factor into your taste.
