Why do we love Spotify Wrap52ped? : NPR

That's what Spotify users are doing now that they can see their newest Spotify Wrapped — a snapshot of a user's listening habits over the last year that can easily be shared on social media. The buzz around the latest Spotify Wrapped rollout is a bright spot for the company, which recently announced that it's laying off around 1,500 people. This year, Spotify, which is a financial partner of NPR, added some new features to Wrapped. This included placing users in the city that most aligns with their music taste. It also classified users into groups based on their listening habits — like the vampire, who prefers emotional, atmospheric music or the time traveler, who listens to old songs again and again. We reached out to Spotify for comment for this story and did not hear back. Morning Edition host Michel Martin said she doesn't need Spotify to tell her that her favorite artist is Beyoncé. Her co-host Steve Inskeep said his top song on Apple Music was Buddy Holly's 1958 hit, "Rave On." B
