How to access the personalized Wrapped experience
Every year, Wrapped celebrates the relationship with music and helps us reflect on the role audio plays in the lives of the platform’s users and music creators. In addition to allowing access to the most listened-to songs and artists globally, it offers users the possibility of having a retrospective on what they listened to and how they felt in recent months.
In addition to users’ favourite features, Wrapped introduces new ways to discover and celebrate the year in music, such as:
Me in 2023: This feature celebrates each person’s streamer profile, revealing one of the 12 characters that best describe each user, such as Shapeshifter (the user who quickly switches from one artist to another), Luminary (the one who appreciates more uptempo music than others) or Alchemist (the user who creates more of their own playlists than others).
Sound Town: Through this new feature, each user will have an assigned city based on their consumption habits and shared musical tastes. Musical habits are surprisingly shared in communities around the world, and Wrapped 2023 celebrates just that.
Wrapped Feed: Right on your Spotify home screen, Wrapped Feed is your one-stop shop for everything Wrapped, including top editorial playlists, merchandise from your favourite artists, upcoming concerts, and more.
Spotify also has a personalized ‘Wrapped‘ experience for artists and podcast creators, who can access their own microsite to understand how they are being listened to by their fans and followers. To do this, creators will be able to access ‘Spotify for Artists’ and ‘Spotify for Podcasters’.
Starting today, all users will be able to access their own personalized Wrapped experience, in the Spotify mobile app on iOS and Android, but also via the web on desktop and mobile at Spotify.com/Wrapped.
