As we approach the end of 2023, it is time to look back at the amazing music that we experienced through the year, and the best way to do it is through Spotify Wrapped. When Spotify launched the ‘Wrapped’ series, users were completely entranced by the deep analysis it provided. The information provided in Spotify was not only insightful, but also put forth in an attractive and story-like manner.
This year, Spotify has introduced some cool additions to Wrapped, so let’s break it all down.
Firstly, we have the basic information such as the artists, songs, and podcasts that you have streamed the most through year. The information is presented in the same attractive store format, but one slight addition here is that you can now head to the web version of Spotify and view your Wrapped story there as well. So far, Spotify Wrapped was only available on the app, but now, the website will support it as well.
Next up, we have listening characters. So far, Spotify has been showing you the artists, songs and genres that have streamed the most, but now, Spotify has taken it all a step further. Depending on the kind of music that you stream, Spotify will match you with one of 12 listening characters. Spotify calls this feature ‘Me in 2023’, and we absolutely love it. Just as example, if you are someone who keeps hopping from artist to artist, then you will be given the character of ‘Shapeshifter’.
Another new feature is called ‘Sound Town’, and in this, Spotify will match you to a city, based on your listening habits and patterns. For example, if you have been listening to a lot of Mexican artists, you will be matched with Mexico City.
We will also see an AI DJ give you commentary on the top artists that you have streamed through the year, which is cool, and we have shout-outs from close to 50,000 artists for being top streamed on your Wrapped. Alongside your top streams, Spotify will also tell you a generalised run down of the most streamed songs and artists.
Spotify Wrapped is now available on your iOS and Android apps, and the best part is that it is shareable, which means you will start seeing your friends share their Spotify Wrapped on their social media profiles.
