The rollout began several days ago, but now it's official: Spotify has added song play counts to every artist's top tracks, showing their total number of global  
plays since October 2008\. Initially rolling out for the desktop client, play counts  
will be added for all Spotify users in the coming weeks. Alongside the track counts, the music streamer has also launched two Spotify Charts.

The [Spotify Top 50](https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2013/05/spotifys-50-most-played-shared-tracks-us-uk-.html) is the top 50  
most-streamed songs of the previous week, market-by-market. The [Social 50](https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2013/05/spotifys-50-most-played-shared-tracks-us-uk-.html) is the top 50 most-shared songs of the previous week. These are the songs that  
have been most actively shared to other Spotify users, including via Facebook and Twitter.

Updated every Monday, Spotify  
Charts is is an embeddable widget that can be set to show the most played or most ciral tracks in any of the 28 markets where  
Spotify is available
