To get your personalized Spotify Wrapped roundup for 2023, point your browser at Spotify.com/Wrapped. This is the first time Spotify Wrapped has been available in a browser, similar to the Apple Music Replay roundup. Like in years past, your Wrapped roundup also awaits you in the updated Spotify app for iOS and Android.

You can view the most-listened artists, songs and podcasts for Spotify’s 574 million users, as well as view a compilation of your own activity on the platform over the past year, like your top artists, songs and more. Spotify’s AI DJ will guide you through your Wrapped, but only during the first week.

You can also request your most-listened songs for 2023 through Siri as long as you’ve set Spotify as the default music app on your iPhone.

According to the Spotify Newsroom, this year’s Wrapped roundup includes several new features, including Sound Town and Me in 2023.

This feature matches your listening habits to one of the twelve characters Spotify made just for this occasion. Just flip your card to find out which listening character you’re matched with, ranging from Vampire and Shapeshifter to Collector, Luminary and others. Here are the descriptions of all the characters from the Spotify website.

Vampire
When it comes to your listening, you like to embrace a little… darkness. You listen to emotional, atmospheric music more than most.

Alchemist
Listening is your laboratory. You create your own playlists more than other listeners do. Nice work, doc.

Time Traveller
Have we met before? You travel back in time and listen to songs on repeat, again and again. The best tracks never get old.

Cyclops
When it comes to your listening, you’re loyal and devoted. You like to focus on one genre. Sometimes while wearing a monocle.

Luminary
There’s a spark in you, and your listening shows it. You play light, upbeat music more than others. Bet you’re fun at parties.

Mastermind
Knowledge is power, listener. Which makes you powerful indeed, as you like to study a wide range of different genres. Clever you.

Roboticist
You like to hit play, kick back, and let the clever algorithms work their magic, track after track. Oh look, that rhymes.

Shapeshifter
One moment you’re head over heels for an artist. The next, you’ve moved on. Some say it’s erratic. We call it eclectic.

Collector
Your taste is sublime. You listen mostly to your own playlists, and we totally get why. They’re perfect, after all.

Hunter
You’re always searching for new favorites. You skip tracks more than other listeners. Maybe it’s the thrill of the chase?

Fanatic
Once you pick a favorite, you never let go. Your top artist makes up more than a third of your listening. Impressive.

Hypnotist
Your concentration is absolute, friend. You like to play albums all the way through, from the opening track to the final note.

Although Apple Music Replay lacks this feature, Apple Books unveiled something similar this year to determine your personal reading type.

Wrapped listening parties

Last but not least, Spotify has launched listening parties for artists to interact with their fans, stream their favorite songs and more. Some of the confirmed artists include Ava Max, Chelsea Cutler and JVKE.

“You can also invite friends to create a Blend with all of your top songs by tapping the 2023 Wrapped Top Songs filter to combine your favorites into one shared playlist,” the company notes.
