Releases
We regularly check for new releases from the artists you track. There can be a short delay between a release becoming available on Spotify and appearing in Tune Tracker.
There can be several reasons why a release hasn't appeared yet. New releases need to be detected and processed by our service, which can take some time. If you recently added an artist, their releases may also take a little while to appear.
How far back you can see depends on your plan. Pro users get a Full Release Archive covering the last two months for each artist. On the Basic Plan, you'll see today's releases from your lineup, or your 2 most recent releases if nothing dropped today. For anything older than that, we recommend visiting the artist's Spotify page.
Tune Tracker currently focuses on releases that are already available. Upcoming releases may become available in the future as we expand the release tracking experience.
Spotify Stats
Spotify counts a stream once you've listened to a track for at least 30 seconds. Plays under 30 seconds, and skips, don't count toward your stream totals or your top artists and tracks. Tune Tracker's listening stats follow this same 30-second rule, so the numbers you see in the app match how Spotify itself counts a listen.
Tune Tracker reads your listening activity through the official Spotify API and builds your minutes listened, top artists, and top tracks using that same 30-second listen threshold. Unlike Spotify Wrapped, which only appears once a year, Tune Tracker updates these stats continuously and gives you a fresh recap every month.
Spotify Wrapped is typically based on listening data from roughly January through late October each year, so anything you listen to in November and December isn't included. Tune Tracker's Monthly Recap doesn't have that cutoff. It covers your listening for every month of the year, including November and December.
Notifications
Yes. Pro users can receive New Release Push Alerts in real time when new releases from their tracked artists are detected.
There can be a short delay while a new release is detected. Also, make sure notifications are enabled for Tune Tracker in both your Tune Tracker account settings and your device settings.
Yes. You can manage your notification preferences from your Tune Tracker account settings. You can also disable notifications from your device settings.
