First of all, you need to know how to see all the songs you have queued on Spotify. To do this, you need to know where to find the queue button. The queue button on Spotify looks like a list of songs. It looks like three horizontal lines with a triangle pointing to the right at the top left.

On Android and iOS, it’s easiest to find on the playback screen. If you’re playing a song and have that song in full screen, the queue button will appear in the lower-right corner below the media buttons.

On the desktop app and web player, the queue button is always in the play bar at the bottom of the interface, to the right of the media controls. It is located near the volume slider.

After you select the queue button, you can see all your queued songs.

The queue button only appears if you are a Spotify Premium subscriber. The reason for this is that if you use Spotify Free, you can only listen to music in permanent shuffle mode.
