If you’re someone who adds many songs to your Spotify queue and sometimes forgets what’s coming up next, you might want to hide a song to move on. But if you want to completely start fresh, you’ll need to know how to clear your Spotify queue.

When you clear your Spotify queue, all the songs you had lined up will be removed. This gives you the freedom to add new songs that you want to listen to right now.

It’s important to note that the Spotify play queue button is only available for people who have a Spotify Premium subscription. If you want more information about the different subscriptions and their costs, you can read our detailed article on how much Spotify Premium is.

What Does “Queue” Mean in Spotify?

A queue in Spotify is like a lineup or a sequence of things in a specific order. When you add music to your queue, it means that those songs will play next in the order you added them. If you have multiple songs in your queue, they will be played in the sequence you arranged them.

Do You Have to Pay for Spotify Premium to Use the Queue Feature?

Yes, to access the queue feature on Spotify, you’ll need a premium subscription. If you’re using the free version of Spotify and don’t see the option to queue songs, you’ll need to upgrade to one of the Spotify premium plans to unlock this feature.

However, if you already have a premium subscription but don’t see the queue option, it could be because Spotify is testing new features and temporarily removed it. According to Spotify, the only way to potentially recover the queue feature is by creating a new account and hoping that it appears. You can transfer your songs and playlists to the new account by following the steps provided in this guide to transfer your Spotify content.
