A brightly colored highlight reel played, showing me what I (mostly) suspected: My top songs included “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa, “Banana Boat (Day-O)” by Harry Belafonte (a favorite of my kindergartener) and “Ship to Wreck” by Florence and the Machine (Florence and the Machine was also the top artist I listened to - Spotify Wrapped informed me I spent 699 minutes listening to the band). I cringed while tapping the message to learn more. This story first appeared on many other Spotify users, I opened the music streaming app on Wednesday and received a cheerful message: “Your 2021 Wrapped is here,” it read, imploring me to explore the top songs, artists, and podcasts I listened to “in a year that was far from normal.” The most-streamed Spotify podcast around the world is “The Joe Rogan Experience,” followed by Alex Cooper’s advice podcast, “Call Her Daddy.” Meanwhile, 2021's top artist streamed globally on Spotify is rapper and singer Bad Bunny, followed by Taylor Swift and South Korean boy band BTS.

The most-streamed song in the world in 2021 is “drivers license” by Olivia Rodrigo, followed by “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” by Lil Nas X and “STAY (with Justin Bieber)” by The Kid LAROI. In addition to releasing personalized music roundups for users, Spotify also revealed the most-streamed artists and albums overall. Wrapped “cards” showing users’ top podcasts, songs and artists can be shared via Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

Spotify is also introducing a “Playing Cards” game that tests a user on his musical listening habits, as well as the "2021 Wrapped Blend," which allows people to compare musical preferences with friends.

On the other hand, those with a green audio aura are “calm, analytical and introspective” and “gravitate toward complex music to tame their fast-moving minds.” The streaming service is also determining users’ “Audio Aura” based on their "top two music moods." An aura is a “personal energy signature” represented by different colors, according to podcast host and aura reader Mystic Michaela, who helped Spotify create the feature.įor instance, people with purple audio auras are “passionate” music listeners who like to get “amped up, entertained, and moving,” Spotify said. Spotify is incorporating some creative, new features in 2021's Wrapped, including “2021: The Movie,” which matches "top songs with classic scenes from a movie" about the user, the company said. People can view their 2021 Wrapped experience starting Wednesday exclusively in the Spotify mobile app for iOS or Android, the streaming service said in a release.
