Every year, students listen to thousands of minutes of music, many different artists and so many different songs.
Spotify is one of the most used music streaming services, and every year towards the end of the year, Spotify puts out a wrap of what listeners have streamed the most frequently from January to October.
They include how many minutes streamers have listened to and how many days those minutes equals out to, their top artists, their top songs and even peak listening months for specific artists.
When the wrapped slides show the minutes equal to days straight, it is crazy because it puts the amount of music a streamer listens to in perspective. I do not know if the amount of music I have listened to this year is sad or impressive, and I am sure many would agree with me on that.
“It was an insane amount of music I listened to this year, I knew it was a lot, but not that much,” Ciarra Jones said.
Each wrapped story is unique, which makes it fun to share with friends and family.
“I like to tell my friends about my Spotify Wrapped because it is fun and funny, but I am not going to go around and post it because I have seen an overwhelming amount of them since the wrap came out,” Jones said.
A lot of the time, people are shocked about what got put on their Spotify Wrapped, and sometimes it even reminds them about old songs they have forgotten about.
This year, they added something new to the Spotify Wrapped, and it is an AI DJ. The DJ plays streamer’s favorite songs throughout the years using the Spotify Wraps that have been created throughout the years of ytheir Spotify music journey.
Ciarra Jones enjoys listening to her AI DJ on Spotify, and I would have to agree it is a fun new addition to Spotify. On the other hand, Austin Francis is not a fan of the AI DJ and thinks it is really weird because the AI is speaking to the listener personally.
This year, my Spotify Wrappped was pretty predictable, with my top artist being Taylor Swift and my peak listening month for her in May.
There were a couple of my top songs that surprised me because I did not realize how much I listened to certain songs throughout the year.
“I think Spotify Wrapped is pretty cool, but I do not feel it is too accurate,” Francis said. “There was a song I do not remember listening to a lot, maybe about three times, and it was my second most listened to song.”
