Spotify Wrapped 2023 is here: How to check it out

Spotify Wrapped 2023 springs into action, showcasing trending artists, songs, albums, and podcasts, while offering users a deep dive into their personal listening patterns. This freshly released edition is readily accessible through the Spotify mobile app, both on iOS and Android, or by navigating directly to Spotify’s website on a desktop.

This year’s Spotify Wrapped not only provides the usual insights into individual listening preferences but also introduces innovative features. The ‘Me in 2023’ section, a novel addition, aligns your Spotify usage with one of 12 distinct listening styles. Another feature, ‘Sound Town’, pairs you with a city that echoes your music tastes and artist connections.

Traditional insights like the Top Five Genres and Top Five Artists have been revamped with a fresh design. Adding a personal touch, some of 2023’s celebrated musicians have recorded special messages for users, playing if they rank among your top artists.

A new AI DJ feature is part of this year’s Wrapped, creating a personalized mix tailored to your preferences and offering insights about your favorite genres, songs, and artists. This feature will be active during the first week following Wrapped’s launch.

In a grand gesture to mark the arrival of Spotify Wrapped 2023, a unique live event is slated for tomorrow night (November 30) in London. This unprecedented show will feature live performances from Sam Smith, Chase & Status, Charli XCX, Raye, and others. The event will be streamed live on TikTok from 8.30pm, and you can join the livestream here.

How to see your Spotify Wrapped 2023?

Accessing your Spotify Wrapped 2023 is simple. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Launch Spotify on your mobile device. You should see a prompt for your 2023 Wrapped right on the app’s homepage. If it’s not there, or if you’re using a web browser, head over to www.spotify.com/us/wrapped.
2. The Wrapped Story will guide you through an exploration of your musical journey over the past year, highlighting your favored genres, songs, and artists.
3. This year, Spotify Wrapped introduces a unique way to categorize your listening habits, identifying you as one of 12 listener types. For instance, you might be labeled a “hypnotist” if you often immerse yourself in albums from start to finish, or a “vampire” if you gravitate towards more emotional, atmospheric music.
4. As you journey through your Wrapped Story, each slide comes with a “share” button at the bottom. Use this to either save individual slides to your camera roll or share them on social media platforms. Additionally, at the end of the Wrapped Story, you’ll get a chance to save and even alter the color scheme of your Top Artists summary.

Is there a version of this for Apple Music?

Apple Music offers the Replay feature, available throughout the year, allowing users to delve into their listening habits in detail. Recently, the platform introduced its own year-end experience akin to Spotify Wrapped. Check out more details here: How to get Apple Music Replay 2023?
