The Wait Is Over. Your Spotify 2021 Wrapped Is Here.
Spotify Wrapped 2021
What did your 2021 sound like? Did you fall back in love with a past favorite artist, sample a genre you’d never listened to before, or binge true crime podcasts for the first time ever? However you streamed, it was uniquely you, and uniquely 2021.
Today, in addition to revealing the top music and podcasts streamed globally in 2021, we’re unveiling our annual 2021 personalized Wrapped experience for listeners. It’s inspired by the millions of weird and wonderful ways you listened this year—and by the creators who soundtracked the world around us.
In a world that continues to keep us on our toes, the 2021 Wrapped experience is full of the known and unknown, with fan-favorite experiences mixing with surprising new ones that connect listeners with each other and their favorite creators.
Make it personal
In addition to your top artists, genres, songs, and podcasts and the minutes listened, your personalized Wrapped experience includes several all-new features:
- 2021: The Movie – This feature pairs your top songs with classic scenes from a movie that’s all about you.
- Your Audio Aura – We worked with an aura expert to visualize your audio aura based on your top two music moods. (You can read more about that here.)
- Playing Cards – This is an interactive, data-based game that you play and then share with your friends. We’ll display several statements about your listening this year and you’ll have to guess which are true.
- 2021 Wrapped Blend – Tapping into the new Blend feature launched this year, Spotify fans can see how their 2021 music tastes match up with friends, stream their blended playlist, and share their results on social.

Plus, we’re adding a special surprise: videos from more than 170 creators thanking fans for having them in their Wrapped. These videos will appear if fans have a song by one of the participating artists in their “Your Top Songs 2021” or “Your Artists Revealed” playlist. Additionally, for the very first time, we’re rolling out Spotify Clips for podcasts, so fans will be able to view special “thank you” messages from some of their favorite podcast hosts by visiting that show’s page on Spotify.
Eligible users can access their personalized Wrapped experience today, exclusively in the Spotify mobile app (iOS and Android).
What’s more, we’re also rolling out our Wrapped creator experience for podcasters and artists today. Creators will be able to dive into all the ways their fans listened this year through their own individualized Wrapped microsite experience.

We’ll also be celebrating Wrapped on Spotify Greenroom—with private, password-protected rooms for top fans to hear directly from their favorite creators about their own Wrapped results for the year—as well as with special Wrapped episodes of two of our biggest live shows, “Most Necessary Live” and “LOREM Life.”
