Spotify Wrapped Day 2023 Didn't Tell Us Everything About Ourselves
Oh, Spotify Wrapped Day, you divisive, cheeky little thing. If your Instagram feed got a little weird on Nov. 29, you know it’s because the end-of-year stats from the music streaming platform officially went live. And while the top artist, song, and genre breakdowns teach us a lot about ourselves, there is still more to learn.
Wrapped Day might be a chaotic day for brain-melt scrolling, but it is indeed a great day to be a nosy person. Every year, Spotify adds new metrics to teach you a bit more about your music taste, and this year, the new Sound Town feature — which told you which city your music choices most aligned with — really made waves. But there are still some things I’d love to know about myself that Spotify Wrapped — and years of therapy — are not able to tell me. Yet, at least.
Read on for an in-depth list of the Wrapped lists the Bustle staff wishes we could get. We all want a year in review of all of the things we almost bought but didn’t because shipping wasn’t free or statistics about how many times our therapist secretly thought we were annoying. Right?
