The annual, highly anticipated Spotify Wrapped is now upon us. For users of the streaming platform, this inevitably means getting a glimpse of our audio activity over the past year and reliving all the tracks we cried, danced, and sang our hearts out to.
While you can certainly expect familiar favourite features such as your top artists, genres, songs, podcasts and minutes listened, 2021's edition is slightly different as it embraces the unknown and champions all of the things that make each of our listening experiences truly unique.
In light of that, Spotify has decided to spice things up on their mobile app by adding some exciting new personalised user experiences on the interface of Wrapped 2021.
