metadata - Spotify: How is a track's popularity value determined? -


i've been working spotify meta data api, , trying figure out popularity field of track meant (represented float, 1 being popular, 0 not). checked if there linear correlation between float value , total plays listed in spotify, there not. found 3 tracks same artist popularity values 0.61, 1 had 1.7 million plays, 1 had 1.6 million , had ~140,000. unfortunately playcounts not part of meta data api.

does know how determine value each track? i'm guessing might relative fraction of (plays/time on spotify) compared track plays/time can't prove that. if know i'd love hear thoughts. thanks

spotify's popularity indeed based on number of streams, instead of total plays, it's based on short timeframe. why you'll see more popular number on #1 on artist profile has less plays #2.

we have used api number percentage in our stream popularity, giving people insight in current popularity of track. keep in mind number can increase, decrease.

you can check out working example here: http://www.streampopularity.com/

good luck!
