What Is Amazon Music Listening History?

Typically, music streaming platforms keep track of your listening history for personal recommendations. They allow users to check and edit the listening history as well.

  • Recently Played: Show your recently played playlists, albums, and stations
  • Song History: Your recently played songs listed one by one
