Plays Through
Tracks that regularly make it to the end can move up a bit over time.

Spotify Smart Queue
Smart shuffle with memory.
Smart Queue keeps a playlist's random state across sessions, so restarting does not throw shuffle back to zero. It also adds light score-based adjustments from skips, full listens, and manual edits.
Random State
Restarting should not mean starting over
Normal shuffle starts fresh every time you restart a playlist. That can bring songs back earlier than you want, while other tracks stay untouched for many sessions just because the random draw keeps resetting.
Smart Queue persists that random state instead. The next session continues from the listening history that already exists, so previous plays still matter when the queue is rebuilt.
Normal shuffle
Each restart gets a fresh random pass, with no memory of what was already heard in the last session.
Smart Queue
The random state is carried forward, so restarts keep moving through the playlist instead of repeatedly resetting the odds.
Scores
The smart part is small on purpose
Session persistence is the main fix. Scores are a lighter layer on top that helps the queue react to what seems to be working for you.
A track that keeps fitting can get a small lift. A track that gets skipped can cool off for a while. You can also adjust scores manually when you want to steer things yourself.
Skips
Tracks that get skipped can be pushed back so they stop showing up so aggressively.
Manual Edits
You can inspect the score history and make direct adjustments from the dashboard.
Takeover
How playback takeover works
You still listen in Spotify. Smart Queue just takes control of the queue behind the scenes so it can apply its own order.
1
Start a tracked playlist in Spotify
From your side it still looks like normal playback.
2
Smart Queue creates a private temporary playlist
Playback is moved there so the app can control what comes next.
3
The app manages the queue from there
That is what makes persisted state and score-based ordering possible.
