General
What is fuckstats.lol?
fuckstats.lol is a tool that generates fake Spotify streaming data that can be imported into Stats.fm to boost your profile statistics. It creates realistic-looking JSON files with simulated listening history.
Safety
Is this legal and safe to use?
While technically legal, using this tool doesn't really violates Stats.fm's terms of service but importing those file does violate it. Stats.fm reserves the right to ban accounts. Use at your own risk and responsibility.
Can I get banned from Stats.fm?
Yes, excessive use can result in a ban. Stats.fm barely monitors for suspicious activity but the chance of getting banned is still there.
Is there a limit to how much I can use this tool?
While there's no technical limit, we strongly advise moderation. Importing too much data significantly increases your ban risk.
What's the actual risk of getting banned?
Risk level depends on how many streams you import. The more streams, the higher the risk. If you appear on multiple leaderboards, people may notice and report you to Stats.fm staff. While staff isn't very active, there's always a chance. Risk is NEVER zero. To reduce ban risk, use the 'Randomize per track' feature which makes your data look more realistic and less suspicious. Additionally, the Allowed Hours feature helps reduce detection by ensuring your streams occur during realistic listening hours instead of random times like 2 AM.
What if I get banned from Stats.fm?
If you get banned, there's nothing you can do - you violated their Terms of Service and they have the right to ban you. The only option is to contact them to request account deletion, then create a new account.
Will using this tool affect my real Spotify account?
No, this tool only affects your Stats.fm data. Your real Spotify account and listening history remain unchanged.
Requirements
Do I need Stats.fm Plus?
Yes, you need Stats.fm Plus to use the import feature. The import functionality is only available to plus subscribers.
Limits
How many streams can I generate?
You can generate up to 800,000 streams depending on the content type. The maximum varies: tracks can handle up to 800k streams, while albums, artists, and playlists distribute streams across multiple tracks for more realistic patterns.
Why is my file not being accepted by stats.fm?
Stats.fm sometimes rejects large files with 'Server issue, try again later' error. This is a server issue on Stats.fm's side. For track-only generation with 800k streams, try: 1) Lower stream count (200k-600k), 2) Use wider date ranges (2010-2025).
What are the stream limits for different user roles?
Free users: 200k tracks, 150k albums/artists, 200k playlists. Premium users: 600k tracks, 400k albums, 450k artists, 550k playlists. Fuck Stats users: 800k tracks, 650k albums, 700k artists, 750k playlists. Max Density mode automatically uses the correct limit for your role and content type.
How do I know what my user role is?
Your role is automatically detected when you log in. Free users have basic limits, Premium users have higher limits, and Fuck Stats users have the maximum limits. The generator will show upgrade prompts if you try to exceed your role's limits.
Features
What Spotify content types are supported?
The tool supports tracks, albums, artists, and playlists. Simply paste any Spotify link and the tool will automatically detect the type and generate appropriate data.
Can I customize the generated data?
Yes! You can customize the number of streams, date ranges, milliseconds played per stream, and even the output filename. The tool generates realistic timestamps, IPs, and device information automatically.
What's the difference between Custom and Max Density modes?
Custom mode lets you specify exact parameters like stream count and dates. Max Density mode automatically generates up to 800,000 streams with optimized settings for maximum Stats.fm impact. The actual limit varies by content type.
What is Combined Mode and why is it required?
Combined mode distributes streams across all tracks in an album/artist/playlist instead of generating the full stream count for each track. This prevents massive file sizes that Stats.fm rejects. For example: a 1,000-track playlist with 500k streams would create a 200-300MB file without combined mode, but only 500 streams per track with combined mode, resulting in a manageable file size.
What is Max Density mode and how does it work?
Max Density mode automatically generates the maximum allowed streams for your user role and content type. It uses a hardcoded date range (2000-2025) and is designed for maximum Stats.fm impact. The stream count varies by your role: Free (150k-200k), Premium (400k-600k), Fuck Stats (650k-800k) depending on content type. ⚠️ Note: All max streams are generated with timestamps between 01/01/2000 and 12/12/2025. This ensures compatibility and acceptance by Stats.fm.
Why is Combined Mode always enabled for albums/artists/playlists?
Combined Mode is required for these content types to prevent massive file sizes that Stats.fm rejects. It distributes your total streams evenly across all tracks instead of generating the full count for each track, keeping file sizes manageable.
What is the Allowed Hours feature?
The Allowed Hours feature lets you restrict when your generated streaming timestamps occur, making your data more realistic and reducing ban risk. Instead of generating streams at random times (including 2 AM), you can set specific hours when you'd actually be listening to music. Supporters can toggle 'Legit Hours' (8:00 AM - 8:00 PM), while Fuck Stats users can fully customize hours using a slider. The feature includes timezone support - all timestamps are generated in your local time. This significantly reduces detection risk by creating more believable listening patterns.
Import
How long does it take to see results on Stats.fm?
After importing the JSON file, it typically takes 2-5 minutes for the data to appear on your Stats.fm profile. Large files may take longer to process.
How do I import the generated file?
Download the JSON file, go to Stats.fm settings > imports, and upload the file. Make sure you have Stats.fm Premium before attempting to import.
How long does importations take?
Stats.fm import processing time depends on the number of streams: 1-200k streams is almost instant, 200k-500k takes a few minutes, and anything higher may take longer but will complete if the import works. The process will continue until finished.
What's the success rate for Stats.fm imports?
Based on extensive testing, files that successfully enter the queue and show as 'processing' have a very high success rate. Every file that reaches the processing stage has been confirmed to work.
How long should I wait between imports?
There's no rate limit on Stats.fm imports - you can import as much as you want. However, be careful when importing multiple files at once as your device might not handle it well.
Can I delete fake streams or remove specific songs from my Stats.fm profile after importing?
Yes, you can delete imported streaming data from your Stats.fm profile at any time. Once you delete the data, it will be removed from your profile—usually within a few hours, but sometimes it may take up to a few days for the changes to appear. If you want to remove a specific song or set of streams, you'll need to know exactly which file you imported those streams with. For this reason, we recommend giving your generated files clear, descriptive names if you think you might want to delete them later.
Compatibility
Does this work with all Spotify regions?
Yes, the generated data includes realistic country codes and IP addresses from various regions. The tool automatically generates appropriate metadata for global compatibility.
Technical
What if Spotify API is down or rate-limited?
The tool uses your own Spotify credentials (set up in settings). If you're getting rate-limited, it's your account's issue. Either create a new Spotify account with fresh credentials or wait for the rate limit to expire.
Why do large files use Gofile for download?
Files with 600,000+ streams are too large for direct browser download and would cause memory issues. These files are automatically uploaded to Gofile and you'll receive a download link. The file is deleted from our servers after upload for security.
What happens if I try to download a very large file?
Files with 600,000+ streams are automatically processed on the server and uploaded to Gofile. You'll see a 'Download from Gofile' button that opens the file in a new tab. These files are too large to open in browsers or text editors - import them directly to Stats.fm.
Troubleshooting
What are common user mistakes?
Most common issues: 1) Entering Spotify links incorrectly, 2) API credentials expiring and blaming the tool. Always double-check your Spotify link format and verify your credentials are valid in settings.
What should I do if generation fails?
Try retrying 2-3 times first. If it still doesn't work, go to settings and check if your credentials are marked as valid. If they are valid but generation still fails, wait a few minutes and try again.
Randomizer & Stream Generation
What does the randomizer do?
It gives each track a random number of streams between your chosen Min and Max, making your data look less fake.
How do Min and Max work?
Each track gets a random stream count between Min and Max. The total is the sum across all tracks.
What is 'Legit Suggestion' mode?
It suggests more realistic Min/Max values based on real listening patterns.
Best practices?
Use 'Legit Suggestion' for natural results. Keep Min/Max reasonable. Use a wide date range.
Why are some streams dropped after import?
It's normal for Stats.fm to not import every stream, even if your file looks fine. Usually, 5-15% of streams may not import.
What is the 'Randomize per track' feature?
This premium-only feature lets you set a Min/Max range for streams per track instead of evenly distributing them. Each track gets a random number of streams within your range, making the data look more realistic. Use 'Check Max Per Track' to see suggested values based on your track count.
How do I use the 'Check Max Per Track' feature?
Enter your Min/Max values, check 'Legit Suggestion' for realistic values or leave unchecked for maximum safe values, then click 'Check Max Per Track'. It will show you the maximum allowed per track and suggest optimal ranges. Click 'Use Suggested' to automatically apply the suggestions.
What's the difference between 'Legit Suggestion' and regular suggestion?
'Legit Suggestion' provides more realistic, lower values that mimic real listening patterns. Regular suggestion gives you the maximum safe values that won't exceed your total stream limit. Choose based on whether you want realistic or maximum impact data.

Error Messages & Solutions
Invalid Spotify link: could not extract track/album/artist/playlist ID
This error occurs when the Spotify link format is incorrect or unsupported. Make sure you're using a valid Spotify link that starts with 'https://open.spotify.com/' followed by track, album, artist, or playlist. Double-check that the link is complete and not truncated. Common fixes: 1) Copy the full link from Spotify, 2) Ensure the link contains the correct ID format, 3) Try opening the link in a browser first to verify it works.
Missing Spotify credentials
This error appears when you haven't set up your Spotify API credentials in settings. Solution: 1) Go to Settings page, 2) Enter your Spotify Client ID and Client Secret, 3) Click 'Check Credentials' to verify they work, 4) Save your credentials. You can also use the 'Check Credentials' button in Settings to test if your credentials are valid before using the generator. If you don't have credentials, follow the setup guide in Settings to create a Spotify Developer app.
Invalid Spotify Client ID or Secret
Your Spotify API credentials are incorrect or expired. Solutions: 1) Double-check your Client ID and Secret in Settings, 2) Verify your credentials in the Spotify Developer Dashboard, 3) If credentials are expired, generate new ones, 4) Make sure you're using the correct app credentials (not your personal Spotify login).
Spotify API rate limit reached
Your Spotify API account has hit the rate limit. This happens when making too many requests too quickly. Solutions: 1) Wait 5-10 minutes and try again, 2) Create a new Spotify Developer app with fresh credentials, 3) Use a different Spotify account for your API credentials, 4) Reduce the number of tracks you're processing at once.
Failed to fetch track metadata
The tool couldn't retrieve track information from Spotify. Common causes: 1) Invalid track/album/artist/playlist ID, 2) Spotify API rate limiting, 3) Network connectivity issues, 4) Expired API credentials. Solutions: 1) Verify your Spotify link is correct, 2) Check your credentials in Settings, 3) Wait a few minutes and retry, 4) Try with a different Spotify link.
No tracks found for this [type]
The Spotify link you provided doesn't contain any accessible tracks.

Solutions: 1) Use a public playlist/album/artist, 2) Check if the content is still available on Spotify, 3) Try a different Spotify link, 4) Ensure you have proper access to the content.
The maximum allowed streams for [type] is [number]
You've exceeded the stream limit for your user role and content type. Free users have lower limits than Premium/Fuck Stats users. Solutions: 1) Reduce your stream count to within your limit, 2) Upgrade your account for higher limits, 3) Use Max Density mode which automatically uses the correct limit for your role.
Failed to fetch enough track metadata
The tool couldn't retrieve metadata for enough tracks in your album/artist/playlist. This usually happens due to Spotify API rate limits or network issues. Solutions: 1) Wait 5-10 minutes and try again, 2) Try with a smaller album/playlist, 3) Check your Spotify credentials are valid, 4) Use a different Spotify link with fewer tracks.
Server failed to generate file
The server encountered an error while generating your file. This can happen with very large files or server overload. Solutions: 1) Try again in a few minutes, 2) Reduce your stream count, 3) Use a smaller date range, 4) Contact support if the issue persists. For files over 600k streams, the server automatically uses Gofile for downloads.
