Spotify updates daily its “Top Albums” from data globally and nationally, and “Top Songs” also globally and nationally. Spotify is known for creating personalized and generalized playlists every day.
For Spotify, it takes what specific songs and artists that users are listening to and curates a playlist based on the information the algorithm collects. An algorithm is simply a computer taking in a set of inputs and spitting out an output. Similar to other social media, Spotify’s algorithm is constantly updating. In 2021, it was called “Your Top Songs 2021”.Īll this was created by Spotify’s algorithm that examined how many hours each user played each artist and how many times a song was played. Additionally, Spotify produces a playlist consisting of users’ top 100 songs of that year. The slideshow includes a list of the top 5 songs and artists, the specific number of minutes they listened to music, the specific number of times they listened to their favorite song, and their favorite genre, all while having their top songs play in the background. Instead of solely learning what their top artist and songs were, users now get a full personalized slideshow of their entire music and listening experience over the past year. Since 2015, additions and advancements have molded Spotify Wrapped into what it looks like today. “Year in Music” did not gain much popularity until updates in the following years. Most importantly, it highlighted each user’s top songs and artists in the past year. Spotify Wrapped, originally called “Year in Music,” first came out in 2015, as a feature for Spotify users to cycle back at what they listened to in the past 365 days. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour,” Doja Cats “Planet Her,” and Billie Ellishe’s “Happier Than Ever” might have been one of your top choices this year. On December 1, 2021, whether they saw it on their account, or social media, Spotify users woke up to “Top 5” blasted everywhere.
