For users, Spotify Wrapped is simply a fun way to look back at the year in music on a personal level: You can reminisce where you were the first time you heard the new Megan Thee Stallion, get nostalgic about dancing with your significant other to The Weeknd, or look at how far you’ve come since bawling along to Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour and Taylor Swift’s re-releases. For Spotify the brand, Wrapped serves as a marketing tool: It’s exciting each year to share your lists with friends and followers, and anyone who doesn’t use the streaming service currently may well give in to FOMO to be able to join the fun next year.
