(Opening music plays, and I, a dreadful combination of Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, and Lee Evans, walk onto the stage, adjusting my mic stand.)
Right, folks, settle in. Today, we’re going to talk about something that’s been on all of our minds… or not. Spotify’s got a new feature! (pauses for comedic effect) Oh, I can barely contain my excitement.
You see, Spotify, the music streaming service that’s been single-handedly responsible for the downfall of the music industry, has introduced a shiny new “Recents” section. (in a ridiculous, over-the-top Rowan Atkinson-esque impression) Ooh, Ahh! Because what we’ve all been missing is a way to easily find those catchy tunes we listened to last Thursday at 3 AM.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “What about my precious music history?” Fear not, dear Spotify users! This new “Recents” section replaces that old, clunky listening history. (in a dry, Ricky Gervais-inspired tone) Because who needs a record of everything they’ve listened to, anyway? That’s just a recipe for embarrassment.
To access this groundbreaking feature, simply tap on your profile picture, and then select the sub-item “Last heard/saved”. (in a mock-excited tone) Oh boy, I can already feel the excitement building! You can also find it in the home feed if you scroll down for a bit. (in a sarcastic, Lee Evans-esque manner) Oh, wow, scrolling down is just the kind of thrilling activity I want to do with my free time.
Now, here’s the best part: this feature is available to both premium and free listeners. (in a Jimmy Carr-esque joke) Though, let’s be honest, if you’re using the free version of Spotify, you’re probably listening to the same 10 songs on repeat anyway.
According to Spotify, this feature will be gradually rolled out to all subscribers. (pauses) Which means some of you will have to wait a bit. (shrugs) But don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll manage to survive the agony of not being able to easily access your recent listens.
And that’s it! That’s the big news from Spotify. (chuckles) I hope you’re all thoroughly entertained. If you’re feeling generous, do click on the affiliate link, and our lovely partner will send us a small commission. (winks) Nothing says “thank you” like a bit of money.
That’s all for today, folks. Thanks for tuning in. (namely, to Spotify’s latest “innovation”). Now, go forth and rediscover those catchy tunes… or not. (closes the mic stand and walks off the stage)

Spotify Unveils Innovative “Recents” Section for Enhanced User Experience
Spotify is revolutionizing the way users interact with their favorite music and podcasts with the introduction of a brand-new “Recents” section, now available on both Android and Apple iOS mobile apps. This cutting-edge feature allows users to access a chronological overview of their most recently listened to and saved songs and podcasts, stretching back up to 90 days. By doing so, Spotify aims to make it effortlessly easy for users to rediscover catchy tunes, pick up where they left off on captivating podcast episodes, and relive their favorite musical moments with unparalleled convenience.
Accessing the Recents section is as straightforward as tapping on your profile picture within the Spotify app, followed by a simple selection of the “Last heard/saved” sub-item. Notably, this novel section supersedes the erstwhile listening history tab, streamlining the user experience and eliminating clutter. Furthermore, both premium and free listeners can utilize the Recents area, ensuring inclusivity across the board and underlining Spotify’s dedication to user satisfaction.
Beyond the profile-accessed route, users will also be able to discover the Recents section by scrolling down their home feed, where it will prominently feature as a key element. As of now, Spotify has begun a phased rollout of this feature to its global user base. For those curious, the feature was observable in the Android app at the time of writing, with other platforms soon to follow.
