Prompted Playlists are part of a broader effort to give users more control on Spotify — the streamer’s AI DJ got a similar update in May that allows users to give it voice prompts. It also mirrors similar moves on other platforms, like Instagram, which recently announced a feature that lets users tell its algorithm what they’re interested in.

The playlists can factor in world knowledge, go back to your listening history from day one, and be refreshed daily or weekly.

American indie rockers Deerhoof removed their music from the platform in June, saying, “We don’t want our music killing people,” and experimental rock band Xiu Xiu called Spotify a “garbage hole armageddon portal” before removing their catalog from the streamer in July.

Since it’s a beta feature, Spotify says “the experience will evolve as we scale to more listeners.” According to a Spotify blog post, the feature “taps into your entire Spotify listening history, all the way back to day one.

Spotify's Prompted Playlist will let users write a prompt that defines how the streaming service builds a playlist of recommended music.

Spotify Wrapped 2025 broke its previously held record, drawing 250 million engagements in less than three days.

Spotify Wrapped is bluntly telling users their "listening age," which in many cases is several decades older or younger than their actual age. It's a calculated strategy.

Spotify has a knack for mining your listening data into something fun and sharable rather than weird and creepy for its annual “Wrapped” feature. This year, it outdid itself.
