Have you ever wondered which songs or artists you spent most of your time listening to on Spotify? Well, Spotify Wrapped is here again to tell us how our listening habits have been this year.
Wrapped, an awesome Spotify feature, is available on the app every December to show users’ listening activities for the past year. This lets them see how much time they spent listening on the app, which songs they played the most, the artists they have on repeat, and others. Spotify Wrapped can be viewed by Free and Premium users and should appear on the app’s Home page. This year’s most played artists are Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, BTS, Drake, and Justin Bieber. Pop star Olivia Rodrigo’s first album “SOUR” was also awarded as the most played album of the year, with “drivers license” as the most played song.
Spotify has been leading in the music streaming world since it started in 2006. It has 381 million users every month and over 70 million songs, which gives it a huge advantage over Apple Music and YouTube Music.
