Listen to the live playlist
This is Spotify's own player, so it always shows the playlist exactly as it stands on Spotify. The line-up follows the milestone race: recordings join, move and leave as their projections change.

Each day SwiftieStats ranks every eligible Taylor Swift recording by how soon it should reach its next milestone, then builds a fresh listening order from the closest ones.
Five Front Runners
The five nearest projected milestones lead the playlist, in ETA order.
Twenty-Five Milestone Contenders
The next 25 eligible recordings, gently reordered within five-track groups to keep listening fresh while still following the race.
Ten Discovery Picks
Relevant additional milestone candidates, interleaved throughout the playlist. About five change with each successful daily rotation when the eligible pool allows, and picks that rotate out rest for a few days before they can return.
Final Push
When a milestone is within seven days, a recording may appear a second time, well separated from its original appearance.
- Front runner
- Milestone contender
- Discovery pick
- Final Push repeat, only when needed
40 distinct recordings make up every daily line-up when enough recordings qualify. Final Push repeats are extra plays of recordings already in those 40, so the track count can run slightly above 40 when milestones are close.
Data and methodology
Every selection is built from three SwiftieStats foundations.
Verified streaming history
Every recording's position starts from SwiftieStats' verified daily Spotify streaming history.
Canonical recording identities
Each recording is tracked once across every release it appears on, so a re-release of the same recording is never counted twice, and different versions of a song are followed separately.
Measured seven-day forecasts
Each projected milestone date comes from the streams still needed and the recording's measured gain over the last seven days.
Tracked targets
Every recording is measured against the next target it has not yet reached.
- 100M100 million streams
- 500M500 million streams
