On Spotify, you can easily listen to your favorite songs and podcasts one after another with its handy queue feature. However, what happens when you’re sick of that song you’ve been listening to on repeat?
Or an episode of your favorite podcast plays, but you’ve already listened to it? If this is happening to you, then don’t worry! We’re here to help!
In this article, we’ll show you how to clear your Spotify queue and declutter your listening experience. By the end of this guide, your queue will be clear again so you can fill it with your favorite content again.
How To Clear Queue On PC And Mac
The procedure of cleaning up your Spotify queue is simple and won’t take more than a few minutes. Thankfully, the desktop version has a Clear button that deletes all items in your queue with a single click. Here’s how it’s done:
Open Spotify on your PC or Mac.
Select the three-line Queue button in the lower right corner of the screen.
You can clear the Now Playing section by clicking the Clear button.
You can right-click on each song individually and select Remove from Queue if you wish to remove them one at a time.
How To Clear Queue On iPhone
The iPhone’s mobile app is the simplest way to use Spotify. Spotify does not, however, let you delete tracks in bulk while clearing your queue (see also “How To Download Songs On Spotify“). Here’s how to remove a song from your Spotify queue on your iPhone:
Open your Spotify app.
By touching the three-line icon in the bottom right, you can access your Spotify queue.
Mark the circle next to the song’s title.
Once all of the songs have been marked, click the Remove button in the bottom-left corner.

Tap on the song that’s currently playing at the bottom of your screen.
Go to the Playback screen
By touching the three-line icon in the bottom right, you can access your Spotify queue.
Mark the circle next to the song’s title.
Once all of the songs have been marked, click the Remove button in the bottom-left corner.
How To Add To Your Queue
Now that you know how to remove songs from your Spotify queue, you’ll realize that adding songs is just as easy. The process is simple:
Find the song you want to add using the Search bar.
Right-click on the song.
Select Add to Queue
How To Clear Your Listening History
You can clear your listening history from Spotify if you want a blank slate and want to get rid of all unnecessary clutter. You can only access this feature if you’re using the desktop version; the mobile version does not support it:
Open Spotify on your PC or Mac
Go to the left menu and click on Recently Played.
Hover your cursor over the album, song, or podcast you want to remove and click on the three-dot icon.
Select Remove from Recently Played
Repeat this process until your Recently Played tab is clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s The Difference Between A Playlist And My Spotify Queue?
By adding songs to a list that will be saved, users of Spotify can curate the music they want to hear. You have the option of playing those tracks in shuffled or chronological order.
On the other hand, a Spotify Queue lets you specify the songs you want to play first. Without needing to alter a playlist or repeatedly hit the Skip button, you can queue the next song or playlist you want to hear.
How Do I Create A Playlist On Spotify?
Creating a Playlist on Spotify is just as easy as managing your Queue. On mobile or tablet, all you need to do is go to your Library and tap the + icon at the top. Then, it will prompt you to name your Playlist.
Once you’ve done that, tap Create. You will now be able to add songs by tapping the three-dot icon next to the track and selecting Add to Playlist.
The process is similar on a desktop. To make a Playlist, click Create Playlist in the side menu. Then, name the Playlist and click Save. You will now be able to add songs by right-clicking on the song you want to add and selecting Add to Playlist.
You can also create a Playlist on Spotify using the Cmd-N keyboard shortcut for Mac, and the Ctrl-N keyboard shortcut for PC.
How Do I Change The Song Order In My Spotify Queue?
Drag and drop is the method used to rearrange the songs in your Queue. This allows you to reorder the songs whenever you like, and Spotify will update the order of the music in the queue right away.
Can I Use The Spotify Queue Without A Premium Subscription?
Unfortunately no, you cannot use the Spotify Queue without a premium subscription. If you don’t see the Queue option when selecting the menu, it means that you will have to upgrade to Spotify Premium to use this feature.
