Everyone knows about Spotify Wrapped, but music lovers are just now tuning into another Spotify feature, the Daylist.
The music streaming service, with 226 million subscribers and 574 million-plus users globally, launched Daylists back in September, as a more well-timed representation of your music tastes – Wrapped tracks your top songs, artists, genres and podcasts over a year.
But suddenly, Daylists have become a thing. thanks in part to the December arrival of Instagram's "Add Yours" story template, which lets you add interactivity to your stories. Many online have started posting requests such as "Don’t tell me your astrology sign; I want you to go into Spotify, search for your daylist and post the title it gave you," TechCrunch reported.
What is a Spotify Daylist?
Daylists are algorithmically-curated playlists, regularly updated to collect "the niche music and microgenres you usually listen to during particular moments in the day or on specific days of the week," the service says.
Since they may morph, Daylists create "highly specific playlists made for every version of you," the service says. "It’s hyper-personalized, dynamic, and playful as it reflects what you want to be listening to right now."

Depending on your point of view, Daylists may be more reliable than horoscopes at offering insights to a listener's likes. (Spotify has you covered with horoscope playlists, too, though. Just search for your sign and you'll find a playlist. And Spotify also added an AI disc jockey in February 2023.)
Daylist titles can be pretty wacky. Spotify's own Daylist examples include "bedroom pop banger early morning" and "90s rave rainforest late night."
Go online and you will Spotify users posting theirs with titles such as "midwest emo flannel tuesday early morning," "laurel canyon 70s sunday morning" and "classic hard rock glam metal late night."
The shareable nature has led to searches for “Daylist” on Spotify jumping nearly 20,000%, the streaming service told TechCrunch.
Here's how to find your Spotify Daylist?
Whether you are a Spotify Premium subscriber or user of the free service, you can find your Daylist at spotify.com/daylist. In the mobile app, you can find it in the Made For You hub; on desktop and web, search for "Daylist." The feature updates multiple times a day and you can see when your next update will be from the playlist page on mobile, according to Spotify.
You can also save a Daylist by tapping the three-dot menu, scrolling down to “Add to playlist,” then tapping “New playlist" to save it in your Library. Since the playlist updates, you will need to save it before the next update.
If you want to share aspects of your Daylist, you can tap the Share arrow and send a screenshot of your Daylist playlist, a Daylist sticker or a sharecard with a link to the playlist.
Sadly, Glenn McDonald, the "data alchemist" whose musical databases help drive the now-viral feature, was among the 1,500 employees let go from Spotify last month, TechCrunch and Digital Music News reported.
