When he’s not playing Call of Duty he’s eating whatever cuisine he can get his hands on. He has a cat named after one of the best TVs ever made.

Have your musical tastes changed over the years? In celebration of the company’s 20th anniversary, music streaming service Spotify is now allowing people to view and share their listening stats from the day they joined. Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s) will include previously hidden data, allowing you to revisit your Spotify history.

The stats include info about your first day on Spotify, the total number of unique songs you’ve listened to, the first song you ever streamed and your all-time most-streamed artist.

You’ll also receive your own personalized All-Time Top Songs Playlist, a collection of your top 120 tracks, with play counts for each song. The feature includes a custom share card, which can be saved, sent to friends or uploaded to Instagram, too. 

The feature became available on Tuesday morning. To find Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s), open the Spotify mobile app and search “Spotify 20” or “Party of the Year(s).” You can also visit spotify.com/20 on your mobile device.

Spotify is the most popular music streaming service, with over 700 million users and access to music, podcasts and audiobooks as part of a monthly $13 subscription.
