Spotify “Wrapped”: This is what the Germans have heard the most – and the annual review is doing it differently this time

The annual review for Spotify users is here – and all of Germany is sharing what was heard in 2023. The top artists in particular come as no surprise. But there are some new Spotify categories.

It’s that time again – social media is flooded with pictures and videos of this year’s event Spotify annual review “Wrapped”. Like every year, the streaming platform reveals who listened to what and how often based on bare numbers – and sometimes draws more and less serious conclusions from it.

“Wrapped” is also an important tool for the artists who offer their content on the platform – because here they can find out how successful the music or podcast was this year.

Many from this list can be found in the top German songs, but there are also outliers. According to Spotify, Germany listened to the following songs the most:

Spotify Wrapped also examines podcasts – who do people listen to the most? While Spotify’s investment of millions has apparently paid off and Joe Rogan has the most listeners worldwide, Germany is also left behind in this category. Won:

In addition to the most listened to content in each category, Wrapped is also so popular because Spotify tailors it to individual people – making the review very personal.

The latest features include classification of listening preferences into specific categories. For example, for the first time you are defined by one of twelve listening personality types. These include, for example, “Cyclops”, “Mastermind” or “Vampire”. A “vampire” – unsurprisingly – hears rather dark things Music, a “cyclops” mainly moves in one genre. The “mastermind” is different because people with this type listen across the board.

The new “Sound Town”, which Spotify defines based on the most listened to songs, is also extremely strange – for whatever reason. Here, users are assigned to a specific German city that Spotify believes suits their musical taste. Apparently many people on social networks are wondering why it is Münster of all places. For fans of seafaring music, the fact that it is usually Kiel raises fewer questions.

Anyone who is a fan of the really big artists can also look forward to a video message this year. Swifties, for example, are shown a greeting from their idol, while fans of Bad Bunny, Peso Pluma, NewJeans, SZA, KAROL G and Dolly Parton also get to enjoy it.
