Spotify is expanding Prompted Playlist, a prompt-driven playlist generator, in beta to Premium listeners in the U.S. and Canada starting today. The feature was tested with Premium users in New Zealand in December 2025. Prompted Playlist lets listeners describe the music they want in their own words and generates playlists informed by listening history and current music trends. Spotify describes the feature as a collaboration between user ideas and its curation systems.
Key details:
- The beta expansion to Premium listeners in the U.S. and Canada begins today.
- Prompted Playlist was tested with Premium users in New Zealand in December 2025.
- Users submit prompts in their own words; playlists are generated using the user’s full listening history plus real-time information about trends, charts, culture, and history.
- Playlists can be edited, set to refresh daily or weekly, and each track includes a brief one-line note explaining why it was included.
- Spotify editors provide example prompts on the Home screen and an "Ideas" option for quick inspiration; Sulinna Ong, Global Head of Editorial, is quoted on making playlist creation more intuitive.
Summary:
The feature offers a new prompt-based personalization option that combines user prompts with listening history and current music data to tailor playlists for Premium listeners. It follows a New Zealand test in December 2025 and is now available in beta in the U.S. and Canada; further rollout plans are undetermined at this time.
