What’s New With Spotify Wrapped 2023?

Spotify Wrapped 2023 has dropped for all Spotify users featuring not only top artists and songs but other cool new personalized features. 

As the year has started to end, Spotify users worldwide have eagerly awaited the release of their personalized music analysis via Spotify Wrapped. In 2023, the platform has once again raised the bar. With introducing exciting new features such as your common listening location, peak months for artists, and so much more. 

One of the exciting new features is called “Sound Town,” which cleverly matches users with a city based on their unique listening habits. Whether you listen to the beats of European techno or the melodies of Chicago house, Sound Town transports you to your musical destination. Consistently, it seemed if you had any top EDM artists in your Spotify Wrapped like John Summit or Odesza, Arizona was your prime location. Shout out to Arizona listeners!

Another feature, “Me in 2023,” takes personalization to a new level. This feature assigns a “listening character” to each Spotify user which encapsulates your streaming habits.​​The Me in 2023 streaming habits come from a list of 12 characters. Each card summarizes that character’s listening habits, such as luminary which states you play light, upbeat music more than others. Or the time traveler which states you travel back in time and listen to songs on repeat, again and again. Or the mastermind which states you like to study a wide range of different genres.

Something very meaningful this year was one of the best new features too. The brand new feature is “Artist Video Messages”.  Ever wonder if all those hours of listening and possibly being in that 1% even mattered to the artist? Well, let Spotify Wrapped show you. This new feature allowed your favorite musicians to send personalized videos exclusively to their top listeners. The messages included a personal message from the artists who have been your go-to for music all year long. We loved to see artists like Illenium, Dom Dolla, and Charlotte de Witte deliver those messages to fans this year! 

Additionally, Spotify’s “Peak Listening Months” feature shows you the specific months when you’ve listened to your favorite artists. Truly creating a nostalgic look back at your music journey throughout the year. Also, ever wonder what truly is the genre you are obsessed with? Well, Spotify kept track. Lastly, we get the new feature “Genre Sandwich”. This feature analyzes all of your listening history throughout the year to give you your top genres.

As if that wasn’t enough, Spotify Wrapped 2023 continues to deliver the classics. These include everyone’s favorites such as the top five songs, top five artists, and top-listened-to genres. Also who doesn’t love getting to know they spent the equivalent of 1 month straight of music in the total number of minutes spent listening to Spotify? With all these incredible new and classic features, this end-of-year feature has proved again why this time of the year is so thrilling for music fans. So, be sure to check out your Spotify Wrapped now available through the app!
