Spotify Wrapped 2022 is here: What’s your listening personality?
The much-anticipated 2022 edition of Spotify Wrapped is here, with a detailed, data dive into all the most listened-to music, podcasts, artists, albums, and more for the year, as well as offering you a look at your own listening data from 2022. It’s always a fun way to discover some of your own listening stats (like how many hours you logged, or the songs you played on repeat), all presented in a cool slideshow-style presentation on your phone or tablet. Apple Music has its own version of it, as does YouTube, but Spotify’s is easily the standard. And this year, as usual, they’ve added a few new tricks.
Spotify Wrapped is a shareable social media goldmine for the company, and this year the music streamer has added a couple of new features, including “Your Listening Personality,” which uses your listening habits throughout the year to slot you into one of 16 personality types, including The Specialist, The Adventurer, The Fanclubber, and The Replayer. The feature uses metrics to look at how you tend to listen to music — do you listen to the same tracks or artists on repeat, are you the first to jump on new releases, or are you a wanderer of the Spotify catalog looking for something new?
Audio Day is another new feature this year that looks at how what you listen to changes throughout the day — from the morning to midday, to the evening. My own Audio Day included “Good Vibes” in the morning and “Soothing Zen Healing” in the night (I listen to white-nose to help me sleep).
In addition to all the personalized information about your listening habits, Spotify has released the platform’s biggest hitmakers, with Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, and Drake ranking as the most streamed artist around the world (respectively). In the U.S., it’s just a little rearranged with Drake in the most streamed artist top spot, followed by Swift and Bad Bunny in the top three. Harry Styles’ As it Was took the most streamed song title in the U.S. and Bad Bunny’s A summer without you was the most streamed album in the U.S. On the podcast front, it’s probably no surprise that The Joe Rogan Experience reigned supreme again, globally and in the U.S.
To check out your own Spotify Wrapped 2022, just launch the app on your smartphone or tablet (the slideshow isn’t available on desktop or browser, unfortunately), or check out our explainer on Wrapped for how to do it.
