Spotify Wrapped 2022: See the platform's top performers

Spotify Wrapped is now out, along with a host of year-end statistics, data and visualisations ready for sharing. Apart from the standard personal data, Spotify is providing listeners with social-friendly stats that the company hopes will generate the same kind of buzz it has in the past, prompting competitors, such as Apple Music and YouTube Music to create their year-end roundups.

The "music personality" feature — a Myers-Briggs-style system that evaluates how you listen and assigns you to one of 16 flattering categories like "Fanclubber", "Adventurer," and "Specialist" — is wrapped in a goody. It's a wise strategy; whether by zodiac sign or Hogwarts house, youngsters want to be classified.

The new Wrapped also shows listeners' preferences throughout the day, revealing which music moods you like in the morning, midday and evening. And Spotify is bringing back artist statements in which singers like Taylor Swift, J Balvin, and Billie Eilish thank their fans for listening to them on Spotify Wrapped.


Spotify has also announced the platform's top performers, with Bad Bunny being the most streamed artist on the planet. Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Drake, Bad Bunny, and The Weeknd were the top musicians in the United States in 2022 (in descending order).

Spotify's content topped the best podcasts. The Joe Rogan Experience topped the pack, followed by Call Her Daddy, Caso 63, Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain, and Crime Junkie.
