Lyrics : How the Spotify Algorithm Works: A Case Study By Elliot Tousley
An algorithm is a process or set of rules that is followed as a rule of thumb in calculations or problem-solving operations.’
Every platform is based on various algorithms in order to protect users' privacy, security breaches, and user’s manuals. All these algorithms consist of computer formulas used by various platforms such as Spotify, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc. to gather, organize, store information in their database that their users generate at every move.
All of these platforms used algorithms in such a way that gathers information after evaluating the user's interests, history, determining which activities are performed, and which pieces of content users are engaging with. These platforms then show the interest base content in front of the users.
Whether you are using Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube, these algorithms curate every move and activity after every user's explore page. The Spotify algorithm is not different and works at the backend like other platforms algorithms such as— so you should explore pages like Release Radar, Discover Weekly, and Daily Mix.
Spotify algorithm delivers unique playlists and newly curated content to each and every user consistently after evaluating their interests and activities. Each user on Spotify can get six Daily Mix playlists on a daily basis.
Release Radar is the most popular playlist on Spotify that curates unique content and recommends 30 songs for each user based on their listening patterns, activities that Spotify finds in each listener’s listening history and preferences.
Spotify’s Release Radar refreshes the songs playlist every Friday and is exclusively designed for songs that have been out for no more than 2–3 weeks.
Discover Weekly is another Spotify feature that is a bit broader in terms of what is ‘allowed’ on Spotify and what is not. It curates unique content for each user on the basis of each listener’s listening habits and playlist. Spotify also any random song from any playlist at any time that could end up in your current playlist.
Daily Mix, as mentioned before, is a set of six playlists that curates new content for every user on a daily basis. The Daily Mix set is more so geared and uses Spotify algorithms to show users the music they have been listening to recently, songs from related and closest artists in terms of related genre.
Daily Mix is a bit more different as compared to Discover weekly and mostly suggests more of what you have already been tuned into, whereas Discover Weekly tries to broaden your horizons and show you content that you haven’t explored and listened to yet.
Release Radar is somewhere in between the two depending on what you listen to.
