Queues in Spotify
A queue refers to an order or a list in which music is to be played. In Spotify, a queue starts from any song that is played in a playlist. You can add songs to a queue, change the order of the songs, removes songs from the queue, and much more. Spotify also adds songs to your queue after your playlist ends so that the music never stops.
While many people love this feature, there are a handful of people who have different preferences. If you are one of them, here are ways you can clear a queue in Spotify:
Clearing Queues in Spotify
In this article, we are going to talk about clearing a queue in Spotify. You can do this in more than just one way. You can remove each song from a queue individually by manually removing each song from the current queue, clear an entire queue altogether by changing the repeat option, or never form a queue by listening to songs as singles where the playlist only contains one song. Here’s how to do it:

Queues are essentially playlists. If you are listening to an album or a created playlist without the option to repeal all, the queue formed will not only contain music from that playlist but music similar to that you had been listening to.

Here’s a short step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Open Spotify.
- If you’re on mobile, open the Now Playing Bar.
- Click on the Repeat button on the bottom left.
- Cycle through the options until you reach the repeat one.
