Spotify is launching daylist globally. It’s a personalized playlist that evolves throughout the day depending on your listening habits. This rollout comes after the company introduced it first to English-speaking markets last year. The playlist will be available to both free and premium users.
The company said it is also adding support for 14 additional languages, including Arabic, Catalan, French (Canada), French (France), German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Mexico), and Turkish.
Spotify introduced daylist in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Ireland in September 2023. In March 2024, the feature was made available in 65 more countries, and now the company is launching the feature in all the markets where Spotify is available.
Spotify noted that after the expansion in March, 70% of daylist users come back weekly to access the playlist. However, the company didn’t specify how many users overall have used this feature or how much music discovery it is driving.
Users can access daylist in the Spotify app through the “Made for You” section or on the web through this link. The playlist and its title update throughout the day with some goofy ones like “bedroom pop banger early morning” or “90s rave rainforest late night.” At the time of launch, Spotify said that it uses data of “niche music and microgenres” that you listen to at a particular time of the day to suggest tracks and update the daylist.
Users can also save a particular playlist they like by tapping on the three dot menu, selecting “Add to playlist” option, and tapping on “New Playlist” to save that exact daylist to their library.
