At the end of the year, Spotify reveals to each user their most listened-to songs for the past year, as well as other stats including the top artists, genres, and podcasts that they’ve played during the year. Spotify also publishes stats about the biggest songs, artists, albums, and more for the past year, based on the listening habits of all Spotify users both locally and worldwide. If you’ve been wondering which artist has been the most popular on Spotify in 2023, or which album has been listened to the most, you can learn exactly that.
If you want to find your Spotify Wrapped stats for 2023, or simply learn more about what Spotify Wrapped is, then here’s what you need to know.
What is Spotify Wrapped?
Spotify Wrapped first appeared in 2016, and it’s been a regular fixture ever since. Released annually during the holidays, it’s a fun and free way for Spotify users to show off their music taste on social media as well as to learn more about their listening habits. Spotify Wrapped gives you a visual representation of the songs, artists, genres, and podcasts you’ve listened to the most from January 1 to October 31. You can then share your Spotify Wrapped results on X, Instagram, and other sites, to show everyone how awesome (or awful) your musical taste is.
As part of Spotify Wrapped, Spotify also reveals the most popular artists, songs, albums, and podcasts globally and regionally for the past year. The feature has proven so popular, that many other streaming services now offer a similar feature, such as Apple Music Replay and My Deezer Year.
What does Spotify Wrapped show you?
Spotify Wrapped has evolved over the past 7 years. For 2023, Wrapped includes cards, known as stories, for the following:
- Top artists
- Top genres
- Top songs
- Top podcasts
- Minutes listened
In addition, there are also some new features for 2023. Me in 2023 uses your listening habits in 2023 to assign you one of 12 different listening characters. For example, if you’ve created a lot of playlists in 2023, you may get The Alchemist as your character. If you flit around from one artist to the next, you may find that your character is The Shapeshifter. And if you always listen to albums all the way through from start to finish, you might find yourself characterised as The Cyclops.
Sound Town is another new feature, that matches you to a city based on your listening history. You may find that your musical habits in 2023 closely align with the people of London, Paris, or Rio.
The way that your stats are displayed also has some new features this year. Your top 5 genres for the year are displayed as a sandwich, obviously. Your top 5 artists includes a graphic showing how much you listened to each artist every month, as well as telling you the month that you listened to that artist the most.
There’s also a new Wrapped feed you can access from the Spotify home screen. It includes merchandise from your top artists, info about concerts near you, and playlists based on your Spotify Wrapped results. Not only that, but you should also get a video message from one of your top artists, and you can also view video messages from artists including Jung Kook, Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, and more.
It doesn’t end there, either. For the first week after the launch of Spotify Wrapped 2023, you can use Spotify’s AI DJ to talk you through your own Spotify Wrapped results, playing songs and providing commentary about your top artists, songs, and genres. You can also use your Spotify Wrapped results to quickly create a Spotify Blend playlist with someone else that contains all of your top songs from 2023.
