599 years
📐 The Calculation
Spotify has approximately 100 million tracks with an average length of 3.5 minutes. 100,000,000 × 3.5 = 350,000,000 minutes = 665 years of continuous listening. About 100,000 new tracks are added daily, so you'd fall further behind.
Assumptions:
- • 100 million tracks on Spotify
- • Average track length: 3.5 minutes
- • No repeats
- • Ignoring the 100,000 new tracks uploaded daily
