Spotify's highly anticipated year-end wrapped up called Spotify Wrapped is finally here. The Spotify Wrapped 2021 feature rolled out on Dec. 1, visible to all users, artists, and even podcast creators.
Spotify Wrapped is Here
The feature offers all users a look back at their year on the platform, showing their listening trends across both podcasts and music. Artists and podcast creators can review all the ways that users listen to their music and podcast.
For 2021, Spotify Wrapped has undergone a couple of changes. This includes the addition of new features such as Wrapped Blend that lets you compare your Wrapped with someone else, according to TechCrunch.
It also comes with support for TikTok so you can share your list on the other platform, video messages from artists to their fans, an in-app Wrapped game, and more.
Spotify will also bring the live audio chatroom app called 'Green Room' into the Wrapped experience with live shows from a handful of artists, according to 9to5Mac.
Usually, Spotify Wrapped lets you look back to most listened to songs, podcasts, and trends from the past 12 months. However, this time, the platform will show some of Wrapped's data as cinematic snapshots.
That means you will be presented with "2021: The Movie" that pairs your favorite songs against famous scenes from movies like opening credits, fight scene, face-off with a rival, intense montage, and more.
Spotify is giving the nod to TikTok this year, a platform that has been influencing Spotify's charts as the platform's memes get set to popular music, which in turn drive plays on Spotify.
Wrapped includes references to several TikTok memes, which have become a part of pop culture now. For the first time, Spotify users can share their Wrapped cards on TikTok, in addition to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat.
Wrapped Blend is another feature of Spotify's existing playlist matching feature.
Blend allows users to compare their Wrapped with another user to see how their music taste matches up. They can stream their Blend or share the results on their respective social media platforms, according to PCMag.
Audio Aura is another feature that shows mood based on what you listen to.
The in-app game is based on the game Two Truths and a Lie. Users can play and share the results on their social media or let their friends play it with them. The interactive format could produce engagement because you can invite your friends to play along as well.
Another feature is similar to Cameo that shows users short clips from their favorite sings and creators. Spotify worked with more than 170 artists and creators who film shot clips thanking their fans for including them in 2021's listening list.
If any of the participating artists or podcast hosts appear on your Spotify Wrapped, you will see the videos they've prepared.
How to Find your Spotify Wrapped
Spotify Wrapped is available on both iOS and Android phones. Just make sure that you are running the latest version of the app from the App Store. Go to the Home tab and check your Wrapped 2021.
