What Is Spotify Wrapped?

Spotify Wrapped is an annual recap of your year on Spotify. It is a year-end roundup that crunches the numbers from your music streaming habits, and then provides you with a personalized mini report. Wrapped is a way for you to relive the music and podcasts you listened to over the past 12 months. 

 

Wrapped Personal Lists

Each year is different and while we don’t know what the next Spotify Wrapped will look like, below are the personal stats that Spotify Wrapped presents each year:

 

Your Most Streamed Song

This is the song you couldn’t get enough of – the soundtrack to your year. Wrapped also hows you exactly how many times you listened to your top track of the year.

 

Your Top Songs

Next in line are the top 5 songs you had on repeat. This list is a good reflection of the artists and genres that dominated your musical tastes over the last 12 months.

Perhaps your top songs are comprised of different artists and different genres or maybe you found yourself binging an entire album all year and your top songs were all made by a single artist.

 

‘Your Top Songs’ Playlist

The ‘Your Top Songs’ playlist contains the songs that you streamed most over the course of the year, ordered by the songs you played most frequently to least frequently. This playlist can be saved to your library and be accessed any time after the Spotify Wrapped event has concluded.

 

Your Top Genres

Next up are the genres you listened to most. Here you can see the genres that make up your taste in music.

 

Your Top Podcasts

Spotify isn’t just for music – it’s for podcasts too. Spotify is estimated to reach 32.5 million podcast listeners each month. See which podcasts were your go-to throughout the year.

 

Your Top Artist

One of the most anticipated slides of the Spotify Wrapped report is your top artist. Here you will find out who your most-listened-to artist was. There is also a slide displaying how many minutes you spent listening to this artist over the last 12 months.

 

Your Top Artists

Take a look back at the artists that defined your listening habits over the course of the year. These artists helped defined your taste in music and entertained your ears the most.

 

Total Minutes Listened

Spotify will display exactly how many minutes you spent listening to music on the app. In 2021, the average Spotify user listened to 26,637 minutes worth of content.

 

Share Your Wrapped

At the end of Spotify Wrapped, you will be presented with a handy card with all of your most important musical info. Tap ‘Share’ to save it as a picture, text it to a friend or post it on social media.

 

Global Lists

Each year as a part of Wrapped, Spotify releases the global statistics for songs, artists, albums and podcasts. Global Lists are a series of charts that reflect the listening trends of the world. While you will find a number of global Spotify stats on the app itself, Spotify released these global lists on their website which can be found here.

 

Spotify Blend

Spotify’s Blend feature is a shared playlist that gives you social recommendations based on all of your music tastes. Blend lets you create a playlist with up to 10 friends that mixes all of your favorite songs into a single playlist.

The playlist is automatically generated and is updated daily based on the listening activity of all of its members. Blend playlists can be created using a free or premium Spotify subscription.

To create a Blend playlist, type “Blend” into the search and select the first result. Next, select ‘Create a Blend’ and tap ‘Invite’.

What Listening Period Does Wrapped Cover?
