Spotify is expanding its listening data-generated "daylist" to even more users, so I won't be the only one playing something as niche as a "demure power ballad Wednesday morning," "scream writer Monday evening," or "laurel canyon classic folk Friday afternoon" playlist around here.
The audio streaming company launched its personalised, ever-changing playlist in January in select markets, then rolled it out to 65 more markets in March. Now, Spotify is making "daylists" available to all free and paying Premium users — that's 180 markets in total at this point.
But most interestingly, the feature will be supported in 14 new languages (it was previously only available in English).
According to Spotify's blog post, the "daylist" now comes in Arabic, Catalan, French (Canada), French (France), German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Mexico), and Turkish. The company gave examples of daylists such as "pazartesi sabah etiyopya caz enstrümantal funk" (Ethiopian jazz instrumental funk Monday morning) and "afrofuturisme funk moderne du mercredi après-midi" (modern funk afrofuturism Wednesday afternoon), two playlists I would personally love someone to send me.
"Our product team worked closely with our local music and culture experts to infuse the spirit of daylist into each language, ensuring that the feature resonates with new users worldwide," reads Spotify's blog post.

You can find your "daylist" on Spotify in the "Made for You" section in the app or on Spotify's web browser. The feature changes for morning, afternoon, and night, and is AI-generated using your listening data, much like Spotify's Niche Mixes and AI DJ — which just launched in Spanish.
