Frequently* asked questions

What is MusiPie and what makes it different from other chart image generators?

Most music stat sites give you a ranking of your top artists or songs, but they don't show how this fits into the bigger picture of your listening habits. Are you a streaming junkie and hundreds of streams for an artist are just a drop in your vast musical ocean? Or do you rarely find time to listen, but when you do, you devote it to a handful of your most beloved artists?

MusiPie looks at your complete listening history and calculates each artist's share of your total streams. It is, to my knowledge, currently the only website that does that.

What does the slice for "Various Artists" mean?

If the percentage of an artist among your streams is smaller than 2%, the pie slice gets too narrow to readably label it, so all of these artists get summed up under "Various Artists".

Can I use this site with Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music...?

Yes and no! Last.fm is the only option that gives me access to the data I need to calculate your listening percentages. Luckily, an account is completely free and you can connect almost any other streaming service to it - some like Spotify natively, for others you might need to download an app for your phone.

Here's an overview from last.fm of the different services and apps available.

Why do you always recommend the same artist after I download my pie?

I have a broad musical taste, but I think I like - I love Luke Black the most. The MOST.
