![]() If you’ve been listening to a super sexy R&B queen like Victoria Monét, an old-school Mexican ska band like Inspector or a folk punk, mandolin-driven act like Doom Scroll (all expected to be on my Spotify Wrapped results this season - and disclaimer, my daughter is in Doom Scroll: like I said, I'm a homer), maybe others haven’t heard those bands. The biggest reason to promote sharing these results is it’s educational. You do you, music fam, but if you’re on the fence over sharing or not sharing your Wrapped 2023 findings, allow me to advocate for revealing yourself like a 1970s streaker. It surely is, but it also serves an important social role, as we all know. It’s for the listeners who keep their music preferences under wraps, those who believe music is a personal thing. This article is not for the music exhibitionists who’ve been eagerly waiting for Wrapped to be revealed. Spotify even breaks down how many minutes you spent listening to your favorite act (1,967, or 32 hours, with my favorite band of 2022, which happens to be my son’s band. Maybe they prefer to not share that their top artist was Billy Joel (but why not? Billy Joel rules and he was #2 on my list in 2022). They may not want their circles of friends and family to know they’ve listened to 33,348 minutes of music (my count from last year: yes, that is 556 hours of listening, 23 days straight, just on Spotify alone) in a year. Some folks believe music is a personal thing. The platform provides neat graphics for users to share on social media, allowing their followers to see which artists, songs and music genres they leaned into over the past 12 months. The music streaming behemoth summarizes its users’ annual listening habits with this special feature and the results of hours of listening over 2023 dropped as expected this week. Thanksgiving’s come and gone so ‘tis the season for music lovers everywhere to unwrap the gift of Spotify Wrapped.
