1 spot on my list should stand out to me for the whole year, not just a month or two. Understandably, it’s hard to analyze statistics for listening through such a long period of time, but for me, what makes a song stand out is its listenability without sounding “overplayed.” Consistency is key with a “top” song, as continuous streaming shows that I’ll never get tired of it.Īs such, top tracks on Spotify Wrapped should ideally be based on both streaming frequency and how many different days the song was played. Still, some of the execution isn’t quite there yet. Surely, a song that I’d overplayed so long ago for a small time frame shouldn’t be included into my top songs of the year.ĭon’t get me wrong - I love the idea of Spotify Wrapped, and it’s a great recap of the year’s music. I did some researching on, and as I expected, that exact song was nowhere to be seen in my top tracks of the last six months.

A song that had only really lasted two months in my playlist somehow snuck into my top five – weird. Some of the “top songs” also seem a bit off. It’s almost like December just never crossed the developers’ minds, making statistics like listening minutes inaccurate for an entire year’s worth of listening.

1, meaning that there’s still a whole month of festive music to look forward to. We’re finally into the new year, and Spotify recently blessed us with 2020’s version of Spotify Wrapped, the app’s summary of each individual’s music taste in the past year.īut Spotify Wrapped doesn’t actually represent the whole year it’s released on Dec. Does Spotify Wrapped really wrap up the year’s listening accurately?
