How to clear your queue on Spotify (Mobile & Desktop)

For those who frequently add songs to their queue and let them play without keeping track, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s coming up next. Sometimes, simply hiding a song on Spotify can suffice for moving on. However, if you need a fresh start and want to clear your Spotify queue completely, here’s how you can do it.

It’s important to note that the Spotify play queue button is exclusively available for Spotify Premium subscribers.

When you clear your Spotify queue, you get a fresh start. It’s like hitting the reset button on the songs you’ve queued up. All the songs will be removed, giving you the freedom to add new ones that match your mood and moment perfectly.

Difference Between Spotify Playlist And Spotify Queues

A playlist is essentially an album of tracks that you have personally created or added. You can create multiple playlists according to genre, artist, mood, etc. A playlist can contain up to 10,000 songs.

A queue, on the other hand, is a temporary list of songs that you can add to or remove from as you hear them and is limited to 100 songs. When listening to your queue, it will automatically end when there are no more songs left on the list.
