However, we’re always looking to improve Spotify in any way we can. We understand you wish to know how often the updates on a specific track works.Ĭurrently, there’s no specific time frame on when the updates take place. Trust me, I know because we contacted their support team to get a definitive answer once and for all and this was their response: Most of this misinformation can be found on the Spotify community forums, which is a bit ironic considering Spotify’s technical support actually refers you to their community forums to find a solution, or they will tell you that there is no set time frame when updates occur.

On top of that there’s a ton of conflicting and inaccurate information available regarding when play counters get updated. In fact the whole process is a bit obscure and not very well documented to begin with. One of the services we provide are royalty eligible Spotify plays, so we are asked frequently how the play counter works and when new plays will show up on Spotify.Īs you may know Spotify does not update the number of times a song has been played in real time. Ever wonder how and when Spotify updates play counts on tracks? Our new Spotify clients certainly do.

Spotify only you update
