Spotify Expands AI Playlist in Beta to Premium Listeners in 40+ New Markets

April 24, 2025

Playlists have always been at the heart of the Spotify experience. Since AI Playlist in beta launched last year, Premium users have used it to create millions of playlists, with the goal of finding music that fits any mood or moment.

Now we’re bringing this feature in English to Premium users in more than 40 new markets, including countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean, helping even more users effortlessly turn their most creative ideas into playlists. 

Playlists on Spotify are great sources for discovery, fostering deeper relationships between artists and fans. AI Playlist does just that by bringing users another way to express themselves through the music they love. Just start with a simple idea like “high-energy electropop that takes me to another world” or “workout music to make my ex jealous.”

Here’s how it works: 

  • Go to Your Library and tap the “+” button at the top-right corner, then select “AI Playlist.” Or, head to the Search tab on Spotify and search “AI Playlist.” 
  • Then, select one of the suggested ideas or simply type your own.
  • Spotify will suggest songs for a personalized playlist made just for you based on the tracks, artists, genres, and more we think you’ll like. Have notes? It’s easy to revise and refine—just ask for what you want, like “more upbeat” or “happier songs.” 
    • Pro tip: The most successful playlists are generated through “genre,” “mood,” or “artist” requests. But animals, activities, movie characters, colors, and even emojis are all fair game too.
  • To get started, we suggest trying out: 
    • “Afrobeat tracks to heat up the dance floor”
    • “Trending K-Pop hits I need to know” 
    • “2000s reggaeton for soaking up the sun”
    • “Songs to hype me up for the football match” 
    • “Upbeat Latin songs from my top genre”
    • With AI Playlists in beta, we’re still actively learning and iterating with each exchange. We will continue to refine AI Playlist to best serve our listeners and bring the feature to even more users.
