During the update, Spotify will update the playlist, the Mood playlist, the top 100 songs, the top five most streamed artists and the Annual recap feature “Spotify Wrapped”. Previously, Spotify used to display the search function in the top navigation panel, which has been changed to the left navigation panel.
Search function moved from top to left navigation panel
During a recent Stream On event, Spotify revealed its updated apps for Windows and Mac, along with an update to its website. The updates introduce new features and enhance the user experience. Compared to its mobile counterpart, the new desktop app boasts a cleaner and less cluttered design.
It’s no secret that Spotify is the world’s leading music streaming service. While its mobile app has long had a handful of features, the new desktop/web app puts an emphasis on playlists. The update also aims to make searching for music easier. Its search function has been moved from the top to the left of the navigation panel.
The app also introduces a slew of new features, including dynamic filters. It also offers middling voice activation support. As a premium subscriber, you can download tracks to listen to offline. In addition, the desktop/web app now features a new “Listen Now” tab, which offers personalized recommendations.
Another feature the update includes is a unified play and shuffle button. This allows you to easily find and play a song from within a playlist. The app also includes a new feature that allows you to create and save radio stations based on the songs you listen to. You can also create custom descriptions for your playlists.
The app also introduces a new “Browse” tab that offers an easy way to discover popular content. It’s also home to hundreds of Apple-curated music stations.
The new desktop app also introduces an embedded search bar, which is a clever little bit of software that lets you find podcasts, new tracks, and even other Spotify accounts. This is a neat way to get a leg up on other users, and it may be the best way to discover new tunes in the future.
Mood playlist
Mood playlists have been around for quite a while on Spotify. The service is known for its creative content. It offers a weekly music list and access to podcasts and videos. It is also one of the most popular audio streaming services in the world. It boasts 406 million global users.
Spotify has introduced several new playlists to its catalogue. These playlists are designed to support emerging artists in the commercial dance genre. In addition to these playlists, Spotify has introduced a new feature that lets users create playlists with up to 10 friends. The feature is currently available only in English speaking markets. The new feature can be found on the left panel of the Spotify app.
Spotify’s Shows & Editorial team is comprised of genre specialists who create playlists for the service. The company is also known for its original content. They are constantly enhancing user experiences. They also have access to content from creators around the world. In addition to its own playlists, Spotify has a list of curated playlists created by influencers.
Spotify is also testing a new feature, the Featured Curators, which highlights a handful of playlists from users, influencers and curators. This feature is currently available for a limited testing period. It is similar to the Spotify Duo Mix, which enables users to create their own playlists with friends. However, the Featured Curators feature is available to a limited number of users.
The personalised-editorial playlist is also a must-have. It features catalogue tracks, trending hits and relevant viral hits. It is a gimmick that shows off the company’s new “aura reader” feature, which is supposed to show off the top two music moods.
Top five most streamed artists
Taking the top spot in the world’s top five most streamed artists for the third year in a row is Puerto Rican reggaeton star Bad Bunny. His songs earned over 9.1 billion streams worldwide in 2021. It is also the best year stream count ever by a single artist on Spotify.
Other artists to make the top five include Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, and BTS. All of these artists have been in the top 10 for the past few years, and they continue to remain popular.
Dua Lipa is the most streamed female artist on Spotify. She has over eight billion followers and has received the Brit and Grammy awards for her performances. Her disco-pop records have received critical acclaim. She also took home the Grammys for most played artist of 2020.
Taylor Swift is the second most streamed artist on Spotify. Her songs have been viewed over 1.7 billion times this year, and she has been named as the top female artist in the US. Her album “Midnights” is the fourth most streamed album of the year.

Top 100 songs for the year
Using the top 100 songs for Spotify list, you can find the songs that dominated the streaming platform last year. From the most played songs to the best albums of the year, you’ll find the hottest tracks to listen to in 2021.
The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” was the most streamed song on Spotify last year. The hit topped Billboard’s Hot 100 Songs of the Year. This song isn’t a slick R&B number, but it’s a good-time anthem with a memorable refrain.
The most played songs in the United States are updated every day. For example, Dua Lipa’s “Hold On” has been streamed more than three million times.
The second most streamed song on Spotify this year is BTS’ “Heat Waves,” which reached the Hot 100’s top 10 in November. It’s a hazy, charming hit that swept stateside early in the year. Its international impact will be felt in late 2020.
“Solar Power” by Lorde is a love letter to a photographer boyfriend. It’s also a homage to dance-rock songs from the ’90s. The song also features a two-note bass bubble that drives the track with a near-krautrock steadiness.
“Drivers License” by Olivia Rodrigo is a megaballad. It’s a perfect pop anthem for 2021, combining retro video games with subtly propulsive production. The song also topped Apple Music’s global song chart. Its impact will be felt for years to come.
“Drivers License” also entered into permanent pop lore by Groundhog Day. It’s also the first true runaway blockbuster of 2021. The song topped Billboard’s Hot 100 for seven weeks this summer, and it’s still going strong in December.
“Drivers License” also became the first song of 2021 to make the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10. It’s a lyrical and vocal powerhouse, as the narrator feels nostalgia for past love interests.
