Spotify Wrapped 2021 is here: Who was the most popular this year?
It’s been a wild year, but what did that mean for our listening habits? Spotify has revealed all with the launch of Wrapped 2021.
The annual Wrapped experience arrives in the Spotify app for iOS and Android today, giving users a glimpse into their listening habits across artists, albums, songs, playlists and podcasts.
The experience includes several new features for 2021 including 2021: The Movie, Your Audio Aura, Playing Cards and 2021 Wrapped: Blend.
As well as the usual social media options, Spotify has included TikTok sharing for the first time this year.
As an additional surprise for top fans, Spotify commissioned videos from over 170 artists thanking their fans for listening over the last year. If one of the artists appears in ‘Your Top Songs 2021’ or ‘ Your Artists Revealed’ playlists, the video will appear as part of the Wrapped experience.
Spotify Wrapped always gives us a nice glimpse into not only our own listening habits but what the rest of the world is listening to as well. Here’s how this year has shaped up:
