Spotify Rolls Out 'Smart Reorder' to Auto-Sequence Playlists by BPM and Key

Saving a Smart Reorder mix replaces any custom playlist order.

Overview

  • The option is now live for Premium subscribers inside the Spotify app.
  • To apply it, open a playlist, tap Mix, choose Edit, select Smart Reorder, then tap Save.
  • Smart Reorder arranges songs by matched tempo and musical key to create smoother, DJ-style transitions.
  • The capability extends Spotify’s Mix tools introduced in August and follows January’s Prompted Playlists expansion for Premium users.
  • Spotify reports over 220 hours of mixed-playlist listening since transitions launched, citing popular pairings like The Weeknd’s Wake Me Up into After Hours and Flo Rida’s Low into Rihanna’s S&M.
