What is Weekly Vibe?

Weekly Vibe is Amazon Music’s latest AI-driven playlist tool. Rolled out in the US across all subscription tiers (including Free, Prime, and Unlimited), it delivers a personalised playlist every Monday. The playlist uses your recent listening history — moods, genres, and favourites — to create something that feels both familiar and fresh. Currently only available in the US, it is unclear if—or when—the feature will roll out internationally, or what form it will take.

How It Works

  • Found in the “Made for You” section of the app (iOS and Android).
  • Each week brings a new title, description, and theme (e.g. “pop hits” or “melodic flex”).
  • Blends tracks you know with new recommendations.
  • Updates weekly, reflecting shifts in your listening habits.

Why It Matters

  • Freshness: Counters “playlist fatigue” by adding variety.
  • Access: Available to all users, not just paid subscribers.
  • Competition: Positions Amazon Music against Spotify’s Discover Weekly and other personalisation features.

What This Means for Listeners

  • Casual listeners: Easy discovery without effort.
  • Regular listeners: A new Monday ritual that adapts to your taste.
  • Heavy users: Potential to expand your library with tracks that feel relevant.

Bottom Line

Amazon Music’s Weekly Vibe brings AI-curated playlists to everyone, refreshing every Monday. By balancing familiar favourites with discovery, it aims to keep listening habits fresh — and could become a weekly highlight if expanded beyond the US.
