Music fans take note: Spotify Wrapped is back, bringing you all your favourite stats for your listening habits in 2023, as well as the low down on the biggest songs, albums, and artists on the popular music streaming service.
Spotify Wrapped has been a hugely popular feature since it first launched in 2016, to the extent that many other music streaming services now offer their own similar features, such as My Deezer Year and Apple Music Replay.
The latest edition of Spotify Wrapped has dropped, with some brand-new features for 2023. There’s a new Me in 2023 feature that awards you one of 12 distinct characters based on your listening habits. For example, if you play all your albums from start to finish, you may be awarded the Hypnotist character, or if you always listened to the same type of music over and over, you might be awarded the Cyclops character.
There’s also a new Sound Town feature that matches your listening habits to those of a city from around the world. You can find out if your listening is similar to people in Paris, New York, or Mexico City.
You can also listen to a mix of your top songs with commentary about your favourite artists, albums, songs, and more, from Spotify’s AI DJ, although this is only available for a week. And this year you can also quickly add the songs from your Spotify Wrapped to a Spotify Blend, to quickly create a playlist of your favourite songs of the year with another Spotify user.
As well as being able to learn about your Spotify listening for the year, Spotify Wrapped also spills the beans on what the rest of the world has been listening to, as well. Here’s what we’ve learned.
