Wrapped 2023: what you’ve been doing in every app, analyzed – The Verge

How to find your 2023 Spotify Wrapped

2023-11-29T10:28:39-05:00

One of the more popular end-of-year items is Spotify Wrapped, where the music service puts together a roundup of everything you listened to that year in various statistical formats, wrapped up (well, that's what it's called, right?) in bright, fun graphics. You can see what music categories you followed, get a playlist of your top 100 songs, see where you stand compared to others, and find out what your listening personality is.

It's easy to find Spotify Wrapped - and this year, you can do it using the mobile app or on the web.

The simplest way is to just open your Spotify mobile app. If you don't immediately see a banner labeled "your 202 …

Spotify Wrapped 2023 is so popular, it’s crashing

2023-11-29T09:30:33-05:00

Spotify Wrapped, the yearly roundup that offers insight into your listening habits, started having issues shortly after its launch. While Spotify is offering Wrapped on the web for the first time, the experience isn't loading for some users.

Instead of landing on a login page when heading to Spotify.com/wrapped, some users (including myself and several others at The Verge) are seeing a blank webpage that says "500 Internal Server Error." There are also numerous reports on X (formerly Twitter) with users reporting the same issue on both the desktop and mobile versions of the Spotify Wrapped webpage.

Spotify Wrapped 2023 assigns you a ‘sound town’ based on your music taste

2023-11-29T08:00:00-05:00

This year's Spotify Wrapped roundup is live. As was the case with previous years, it features a bundle of shareable stats that break down the most-listened artists, songs, and podcasts for 574 million users. But there are also some surprises, too, including a new system that assigns you a city based on your listening habits.

Although Spotify Wrapped largely features the same basic listening stats every year, it seems to always find fun new ways to serve them up. That element of fun is still missing from the competition like Apple Music Replay, which remains largely unchanged from last year, or YouTube Music's seasonal / annual Recap breakdo …

Apple Music Replay is back — and it’s still mostly a web experience

2023-11-28T10:29:23-05:00

Apple Music Replay has arrived. The year-end summary of your most-listened-to songs, artists, albums, and more is now available from Apple Music's webpage - just days before Spotify is expected to drop its Wrapped stats.

While Apple launched Replay in 2019, it gave the feature a major update last year that makes it a lot more like Spotify Wrapped. But unlike Wrapped, which offers a set of super shareable charts, the stats presented in Apple Music Replay just aren't as attractive to post online, and they're not directly available within the Apple Music app. You can still get your 2023 Replay playlist in the Apple Music app, though.
