If you are active on social media platforms and part of the music community, you must have noticed your friends posting screenshots of an iceberg. This iceberg includes the names of various artists, which you may or may not know, placed at different levels. If this image has left you intrigued, we are here to help. Just like the viral Spotify Pie Chart that gained popularity last year, Icebergify is yet another way for you to visualize your Spotify listening habits. So, let’s take a look at how you can get your own Spotify Iceberg and share it with friends on social media.

Spotify Iceberg: Everything You Need to Know (2023)

Icebergify is a tool that allows you to explore the depths of your Spotify musical tastes. Apart from Spotify Wrapped, which you can access only once each year, Icebergify lets you understand your preferences at any given point in time. Using Icebergify, you can comprehend the nuances of your musical data and share your findings with your friends on various social media platforms.

Before you learn how to create your own Spotify Iceberg, let’s take an in-depth look into the concept of Icebergify. Continue reading below to know more!

What is Icebergify?

Icebergify is an open-source website created by Akshay Raj, a computer science student. The basic premise of Icebergify is to replicate the concept of an iceberg – but for your Spotify music taste based on popularity. Your Spotify Iceberg will analyze the artists that you listen to and then place them at different levels of an iceberg to depict either their popularity or their obscurity. Now, I am sure you are wondering how does it actually function? Don’t worry, we got you covered.

To curate your Iceberg, Icebergify will collect data from the top 50 artists you are listening to or may have listened to in the short-term, medium-term, and long-term. So, this means that your Iceberg will contain artists that you listen to frequently, that you listened to in the past, and the ones you have just started listening to. Now, remember that the data is not only based on your listening habits. Icebergify will also analyze your likes, saves, shares, playlists, and many more metrics to give you a full picture.

Apart from your personal Spotify metrics, the website will also rank your artists based on the level of their popularity and demand. So, let’s say you listen to a lot of Backstreet Boys and Son Lux. Backstreet Boys will be on top of your iceberg, whereas Son Lux might be placed at a lower level. This is entirely based on the fact that Backstreet Boys are more popular than Son Lux. Alternatively, if you listen to Ed Sheeran occasionally and Fenny Lily frequently, Ed Sheeran will still be placed at a higher level compared to Fenne Lily, purely based on the artist’s popularity.
