Spotify Wrapped: The overall review of your music taste and listening habits throughout the entire year. Composed of the listener’s top songs, artists, genres, and overall listening time, Spotify and Apple Music usually release these statistics towards the end of November or early December. I know some of you are Apple Music users so I decided to include the Apple Replay as well, but let’s be honest… Spotify > Apple Music (sorry not sorry).
Now, let’s see how your music tastes stack up.
Starting with the freshmen… none of y’all responded to my survey. Thanks. ❤️
Now to the sophomores.
First off we have Aayush Bansod with an overall listening time of 45,872 minutes. Aayush’s top 5 artists of the year were Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Drake, and Baby Keem earning him his top genre of Rap. His top 5 songs were “R.I.P.” by Playboi Carti, “90210” By Travis Scott, “My Eyes” by Travis Scott, “Too Many Nights” by Metro Boomin and Don Toliver, and “Count Me Out” by Kendrick Lamar.

Whitney mentioned that other than Spotify, she listens to other music on Pandora and listens to podcasts on Apple, so her stats may be a little more spread out than what is shown.
