How is Popularity Calculated?

Popularity is a value between 0 and 100 that is calculated by Spotify based on how many plays the song/artist has recieved and how recent those plays are.

This means that an artist/song that has had 100 plays today will have a higher popularity than a song/artist that has 100 from a month ago.

This number is not updated in real time so refreshing the page will not reflect it's absolute accurate value.
