Every December, Spotify unveils your yearly Wrapped, a personalized in-app experience that celebrates the music and podcasts you've streamed the most that year. It's something our listeners look forward to all year long. The results are always a surprise-and more so in some ways than others. Last month, when you opened your 2020 Wrapped, did you notice that your kids' obsession with Elsa took over your Wrapped cards? Or maybe those many hours of listening to soothing audio while you slept skewed your Wrapped results.
If that was the case, check out the four tips below to better ensure your 2021 Wrapped is a true representation of you. After all, it's less than 11 months away.
1. Remove the audio you fall asleep to with private listening mode If you're streaming a lot of music or sounds to help you sleep, it may not be the most accurate representation of your listening habits. So go incognito with Spotify's Private Listening mode. Private Sessions allow you to enjoy whatever it is you're listening to discreetly-meaning it won't show up in your Friend Activity. It also won't influence your personalized music recommendations, like Discover Weekly or Release Radar, or be counted toward your Wrapped roundup.
Simply turn on private listening mode on your mobile device by tapping Home, and then heading to Settings. From there, under Social, switch on Private Session. To end the Private Session, simply repeat the steps.
2. Give your children their own musical experience-and preserve your own-with Spotify Kids If your top song slots in Wrapped went to the latest Disney ballads and nursery rhymes, know that you're not alone. Parents give up a lot for their kids, and a Wrapped experience exclusive to their listening habits is no exception. Luckily, thanks to the Spotify Kids app, which is exclusive to Spotify Premium Family plan subscribers, children can now enjoy listening to their favorite tunes via a playground of sound that's separate from their parents' listening experience. The app is designed specifically for kids, and the content is handpicked by a team of editors. All you need to do is subscribe to the Premium Family plan and then Download the Spotify Kids app to give your kids a music experience of their very own (and reclaim your streaming stats). If your family is looking for songs to get groovin' to, check out this roundup of the top songs played on Spotify Kids in 2020.
3. Discover more artists, podcasts, and genres with audio for everyone and everything There's a world of audio content on Spotify within your reach. So if you're looking for something new, try the search bar on for size. You can browse playlists-whether Spotify created or user generated-for any activity or mood. These custom creations might speak to you in the moment, as well as help you expand your musical repertoire. In next year's Wrapped, you might not only see a shift in your top artists, but also in your genres, like exchanging indie rock and pop for the uniquely specific genres like permanent wave and escape room. Or, if you're looking to explore a different type of audio, tap Podcasts to browse shows by genre (like true crime or sports), by podcast playlists, or even by podcast charts.
4. Access Wrapped year-round Wrapped happens once a year-but it doesn't disappear come January. Access your 2020 Wrapped year-round by heading to the Search section of the app and scrolling through Browse all. From there, you'll be able to replay your 2020 Wrapped experience, as well as stream your personalized playlists, such as Your Top Songs 2020, Missed Hits, and On Record. Plus, keep scrolling to find the rest of the top tracks, artists, and podcasts of the year.
