New year, new Spotify Wrapped. The end of the year causes people to create new resolutions, reminisce with loved ones and, of course, eagerly wait for their yearly recap of their activity on Spotify. As one of the biggest music streaming services in the world, Spotify has a tradition at the end of the year to summarize their individual listener’s listening habits, minutes, top artists and top songs. Here is a short compilation of some of the Barque staffers’ Spotify Wraps, summaries that many of the staffers believe do not reflect themselves and are “bad.”
“I think Spotify is inaccurate because I did not know I listened to so many generic artists,” said senior Sara Ikeda.
Senior Sara Ikeda’s top artists are as follows:
Doja Cat
Dominic Fike
Clairo
Drake
PinkPantheress
With 110,339 minutes listened to in 2024, she has listened to music for approximately a total of 76 days. Talk about commitment!
Furthermore, junior Brooke Bede’s top artist is a familiar sight. As the number eight most listened to artist on Spotify, Taylor Swift made an appearance on a variety of Wraps and continues to leave a powerful impact on the music industry. Bede’s (62,694 minutes) top artists are as follows:
Taylor Swift
Lana Del Rey
Beabadoobee
Billie Eilish
Laufey
To switch up the music genres a bit, here is junior Ethan Kuruvilla’s Wrapped (12,000 minutes) top artists:
Ken Carson
Travis Scott
Drake
Future
Yeat
With Drake being the only repeating artist, it is safe to say that the Barque has a variety of music tastes and preferences that make them all the staffers unique. Remember, the Wrapped is a tool to watch habits, it is not a reflection of character. A mainstream Spotify Wrapped does not define a person’s music taste.
