Launched July 2015, Discover Weekly combines three AI techniques: collaborative filtering (identifying patterns across billions of user-created playlists), natural language processing (scanning music blogs and online text to capture how people describe songs and artists), and audio analysis (processing raw audio waveforms through convolutional neural networks to extract musical characteristics). By June 2025, Spotify reported that Discover Weekly had streamed more than 100 billion tracks and was generating over 56 million new artist discoveries per week, with 77% of those discoveries coming from emerging artists.
