What’s new at Wrapped this year?
This year, Spotify Wrapped will include a number of new personalized features in addition to the usual top artists, songs, albums, podcasts and listening minutes.
The new ‘Me in 2023’ feature reveals which of 12 listening characteristics best describes how you listened throughout the year.
For example, you may be a Shapeshifter and receive the description: ‘One moment you are in love with an artist. The next moment you’ve moved on.’
Or maybe you’re an alchemist who’s more likely to create your own playlists than other Spotify users.
Another new feature is ‘Sound Town’, which tailors your listening profile to a different geographic region.
In an announcement, a Spotify spokesperson said: “Listening habits are shared in surprising ways across communities around the world, and 2023 Wrapped celebrates that.”

This year too, Wrapped brings back old favorites in a new style.
Your top five genres appear stacked in a new ‘sandwich-inspired’ design, which not only looks attractive but also shows off how much time you’ve spent on different genres.
The display of your favorite artists has also received an overhaul, and curious listeners can now see which month your listening peaked for each artist.
Spotify says this feature is intended to “paint a fuller picture of your entire year and all the moments that made it.”

How are legacy features implemented in Spotify Wrapped?
Spotify is also using the launch of Wrapped 2023 to revive older features.
The AI DJ and Blend features will be fully integrated with Spotify Wrapped, allowing users to explore their music year in a new way.
During the first week after Wrapped launch, users can let the AI DJ guide them through their personalized Wrapped playlist.
The DJ provides commentary on your favorite songs, genres, artists and more.
In addition, users can also create a ‘Blend’ with another user, combining their individual summaries into one playlist.
To do this, all you have to do is invite your friend to Create a Blend and select the ‘2023 Wrapped Top Songs’ filter to combine songs from your Wrapped playlists.
