Spotify’s ‘Wrapped 2021’ Has Arrived to Chronicle Your Year in Music

Spotify 2021 Wrapped is now live.

The personalized user experience, which the platform has been releasing for the last three years since 2019 on the first day of December, features top artists, albums, songs, playlists, and podcasts that you have played throughout the year.

In addition to the dedicated Wrapped experience for mobile users, Spotify has released the top lists for both Canada and global markets to highlight the top songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts, as well as the most streamed artist on the platform.

This year’s Spotify Wrapped is based on the theme of “totally normal” to recognize the unprecedented time owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What’s everyone else listening to? It was a big year for Olivia Rodrigo, whose song “drivers license” was the most streamed song globally in 2021; “good 4 u” landed at number four. Her album SOUR, meanwhile, was the most streamed album globally.

Rodrigo didn’t make the cut for most streamed artists, though. The top five there are Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, BTS, Drake, and Justin Bieber. On the podcast front, listeners tuned in most to The Joe Rogan Experience, Call Her Daddy, Crime Junkie, TED Talks Daily, and The Daily.
