Why cant I view my playlist on Spotify?

If you make a public playlist on Spotify, any other Spotify user can like or follow it. They dont even need to be following you to like your playlist. Whether your Spotify playlist has one or one thousand likes, you might be wondering exactly who liked it. While you can see who liked your content on most social media and music apps, is this possible on Spotify? Unfortunately, it is not, but you can view other statistics.

How to Check Your Playlist Stats in Spotify on an iPhone

When you make a playlist on Spotify, anyone can like it. Keep in mind that liking a Spotify playlist automatically adds it to your library. So technically, when you like a playlist on Spotify, you also follow it. In fact, the Like button is replaced by Follow on the Spotify desktop app. Additionally, you can only like public playlists, since private playlists cant be accessed by random Spotify users.

If youve made some top-notch playlists, and you find youve gathered a large number of likes, you might be wondering who liked them. The good news is that you can see the like count of every public Spotify playlist, whether its yours or someone elses.

However, you dont have the option to see which individual profiles like a Spotify playlist, even if its yours. This option was available until 2013 when Spotify removed this feature. Now, you can only see how many likes your Spotify playlist has. Although many users complained about not being able to see who liked their playlists, theres no indication Spotify will be bringing this feature back, at least not in the near future.

For the time being, you can only see how many likes your Spotify playlist has. So, in case youre wondering how you can view your like count on Spotify on an iPhone, heres what you need to do:

1. Open Spotify on your iPhone.
   
2. Tap on Your Library in the bottom-right corner of the menu.
   
3. Select the Playlist tab at the top of the screen.
   
4. Go to the playlist in question.
   

Youll see the like count of the playlist under the title, which is on the left side of the screen. Unfortunately, you cant use that count to find out individual users who liked the playlist. For instance, if you were to try and tap on the like count, nothing would happen.

While there is no workaround to see who liked your Spotify playlist, some users check their followers to see if theres someone new in the list. However, this doesnt necessarily mean anything. Even if you do have a new follower, your playlist could have been liked by someone who had already been following you, or someone who doesnt follow you at all. This method can be especially unhelpful if your Spotify account has a lot of followers. There simply isnt an accurate way of telling who liked your Spotify playlists.

But if you still want to try this method, follow the steps below:

1. Open the app on your iPhone.
   
2. Tap on the Settings icon in the upper-right corner of your screen.
   
3. Proceed to the View Profile tab under your username.
   
4. Tap on the Followers button under your profile picture.
   

Here youll be able to see if someone new followed you, and perhaps it was them who liked your playlist. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing for sure.

How to Check Your Playlist Stats in Spotify on an Android

The same rules apply to the Spotify app on Android devices. You can only see how many likes your Spotify playlist has, but you cant see who liked it. Regardless, if you want to see how many people liked your playlist on Spotify, this is how its done:

1. Launch Spotify on your Android device.
   
2. Select the Your Library button on the bottom menu.
   
3. Continue to the Playlists tab at the top of your screen.
   
4. Find the playlist where you want to check the like count.
   
5. Tap on it.
   

The like count will be right under your profile picture and username in the middle-left part of the screen. Just as with the iPhone app, if you tapped the like count, nothing would happen. Keep in mind that if your Spotify playlist doesnt have any likes, youll only see your username and profile picture under the playlists title.

There are a lot of third-party apps that claim that they can show you who liked your Spotify playlists. However, theyre all scams, and its not recommended you install them. A reliable workaround doesnt currently exist for this issue.

How to Check Your Playlist Stats in Spotify on a Windows PC

The Spotify desktop app wont give you what youre looking for either. It will only show your playlists total number of likes. As mentioned before, on the Spotify desktop app, likes are called Followers.

Keep in mind that the like count of a Spotify playlist isnt always located in the same place. It depends on whether youre using the mobile app, the desktop app, or the web browser. If you are using Spotify on the desktop app, the like count will be located on the right side of the app.

Heres how you can find them on the Windows app:

1. Launch the Spotify desktop app on your Windows.
   
2. Log in to your Spotify account.
3. Go to the Playlists section on the left sidebar.
   
4. Find the playlist you want to check and click on it.
   

The Followers section will be on the far-right side of the app, above the Downloaded button. This is different from the mobile app, which doesnt show your like count if you dont have any. Meanwhile, on the desktop app, it will say Followers: 0 if there are none.

HoHow to Check Your Playlist Stats in Spotify on a Mac

You can access your playlist the same way on the Mac app, but you still cant see who followed your Spotify playlist. Heres how its done:

1. Run the Spotify desktop app on your Mac.
   
2. Sign in to your account if you havent already.
   
3. Navigate to the Playlists section on the left sidebar.
   
4. Click on the playlist.
   

The total number of followers will be on the middle-right side of the screen. If you were to click on the Followers tab, nothing would happen.

How to Check Your Playlist Stats in Spotify on the Web Player

The Spotify web app is a great solution for those who dont want to install the desktop app, as it offers the same features. However, it doesnt give you the option to view who followed your playlists either. You can only see how many likes it has. This is how its done:

1. Open the Spotify web app on your browser.
   
2. Sign in to your account.
   
3. Click on Your Library on the left sidebar.
   
4. Locate and click on the playlist you want to check.
   

Your like count will be under the playlists title, next to your username. For instance, on the web app, it will say 15 likes, not Followers: 15 as on the desktop app.

This May Be Hard to Follow

Although neither the Spotify mobile, desktop, or web app give you the option to view specifically who liked your playlists, you can still see how many likes each playlist has. Even though Spotify doesnt let you view who follows your Playlists at the moment, there is a possibility this feature will be added in the future. For now, Spotify users will just have to be satisfied with being able to see their followers and playlist likes.
