19 tracks on Spotify's mint were measured on 2026-07-08 — spectrum, loudness, dynamics, stereo image and timbre. This is the playlist's sound as numbers, and your track can be scored against it below.
Third-octave spectrum of the mint lineup: mean level per band (line) and one standard deviation (shaded), in dB. Measured, not illustrated.
Your track's hook is measured the same way and ranked against the tracks already on the playlist — plus 58 other editorial lineups, so you see where it fits best, not just here.
Your file is analyzed and deleted — we keep numbers, not audio.
Tonally, mint is bright for a streaming playlist — the upper octaves carry nearly as much energy as the lows: the median spectral tilt across its 19 measured tracks is -1.47 dB per octave, and the spectral centroid sits at 977 Hz — 245 Hz above the median of all 59 playlists we measure. Dynamically it is moderately compressed, with usable transient headroom, at a median PLR of 13.7 dB (track range 11.7–16.3 dB). Loudness range is 0.8 LU — loudness barely moves within a track. The stereo image is solidly mono-compatible (median correlation 0.87, mid/side ratio 11.4 dB). Musically, the lineup shows tonal centers are present but soft (key clarity 0.66), a lean toward minor keys, highly repetitive structures (repetitiveness 0.96). Event density points to a dense stream of rhythmic events: 5.92 onsets per second at the median. On the engine's perceptual scales the lineup reads Warmth 88/100 and Richness 80/100.

Median integrated loudness of the measured previews: -17.5 LUFS. Treat this as a property of loudness-normalized 30-second previews, not a mastering target — see what LUFS is.
The engine analyzes public 30-second previews of the 19 tracks on the playlist lineup of 2026-07-08: a 30-band third-octave spectrum, loudness and dynamics metering, stereo correlation and timbre statistics. The previews are deleted after measurement — only the statistics are kept.
The median peak-to-loudness ratio is 13.7 dB, with individual tracks ranging from 11.7 to 16.3 dB. Higher PLR means more transient headroom; lower means denser limiting.
The lineup's median stereo correlation is 0.87. If your track is far wider or narrower than that, it will stand out from the playlist's sound — which the Radar score reflects.
No. Editors weigh story, momentum and taste — things no analysis can measure. What the profile tells you is whether your track sounds like it belongs, so you can spend your pitches where the fit is real.
