Spotify Launches Pins

Spotify launched a pinning update days after its 20th anniversary, which featured a “look back” of users’ listening history.
The anniversary provided personalized snapshots of first-day, first streamed song, most-streamed artist and an All-Time Top Songs playlist, plus global lists of the most-streamed songs and podcasts.
Listeners requested a hide-podcasts/audiobooks setting and a light-mode theme, a demand reported by USA TODAY reporter Greta Cross.
