# Spotify Popularity Score Checker for Tracks

**Use case:** 

Check the Spotify popularity score (0-100) of any track, next to its exact play count, ISRC, label and release date. Paste track links, URIs or ISRCs and get one row per track. Compare the scores of your releases and competitors, see which tracks are trending now versus all-time hits, and track the score daily. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or call it as an API.

## FAQ

### What is the Spotify popularity score?

A number from 0 to 100 that Spotify computes for every track, mostly from how many plays it gets recently. It is relative and changes daily.

### How is popularity different from play count?

Play count is the all-time number of plays. Popularity weighs recent plays, so an old hit can have billions of plays but a lower score than a new viral track.

### What popularity score is good?

It depends on the genre and catalog. Compare your tracks with similar artists in one run; the gap tells you more than any fixed number.

### How do I check the popularity of a Spotify song?

Copy the song link (Share, then Copy link), paste it into Spotify links and run the task. The popularity column holds the score.

### Can I track the score every day?

Yes. Turn on Compare with previous run and schedule the task daily. Rows then include popularityChange and playCountChange.

### Can I check many tracks at once?

Yes. Paste hundreds of track links, URIs or ISRCs, one per line, or a whole album or playlist link to score every track on it.

### Does this need the Spotify Web API?

No. No developer app or OAuth. You also get the exact play count, which the Spotify Web API doesn't have.

### What else is in each row?

Track name, artists, album, release date, label, ISRC, exact play count, duration, explicit flag and the Spotify link.

### How much does it cost?

$0.004 per track plus $0.001 for the popularity and ISRC lookup: $5 per 1,000 tracks, with no start fee.

### Does Spotify show artist popularity too?

Yes. Artist links return the artist's popularity next to monthly listeners, followers and world rank, at no extra cost.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Spotify Scraper: Artists, Tracks, Playlists, Podcasts](https://apify.com/epicscrapers/spotify-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/epicscrapers/spotify-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
