Spotify Wrapped is finally back. The yearly tradition, first established by the eponymously named Swedish streaming giant in 2016, provides paid subscribers with in-depth data on their listening habits over the past 12 months by identifying their favorite genres and artists as well as their most-played tracks. It also picks up on the different music trends around the world, the most listened-to artists from each region, as well as where singers and songwriters have their largest fanbases.
The annual recap, which has been available to users since Nov. 29, has grown into a hotly-anticipated moment each year. Coming as a welcome early Christmas present, which users rush to share on their social media, Spotify Wrapped is a metric of its own that magnifies how we, as both individuals and members of society, curate and consume music.
