Jane Sajan '25

What were you most surprised about your Spotify Wrapped?

I was in the top 0.005 percent for my top artist so I felt like it was so cool that I was part of that. I never thought I would be, so [this is] definitely [giving me] bragging rights.

Who were your top artist and song this year?

Yeat and “500 lbs."

Erin Pilicer '26

How often do you think about your Spotify Wrapped year-round?

A few times a month. I have earbuds, so that keeps me thinking about it.

Who was your top artist and song this year?

Clairo and “Birds of a Feather."

Kanishk Mogha ’28

What is your favorite part about Spotify Wrapped?

Probably just the fact that it recaps it and I’m shocked that it is even able to determine what my top song is because god knows how many times I’ve listened to some of these songs.

Do you think your Spotify Wrapped this year was accurate?

Yes, very much so. I’m a big fan of psychedelic rock and that was very accurately reflected.

Sonya Allee ’27

What’s your favorite part about Spotify Wrapped?

[My favorite part is] seeing my [different] moods each month.

Who were your top artist and song this year?

Florence and the Machine and “Motion Sickness."

Hayah Mian ’25

What’s your favorite part about Spotify Wrapped?

I have Apple Music replay, [and] my favorite part is being surprised by my top artist, because every year I try to vary it, and every year at least three of my artists are the same. It’s always kind of fun to see what accumulated over time. Harry Styles was my fifth favorite artist, and I didn’t know I listened to him that much, but [it] turns out in February I got sad and listened to his album over and over again. It makes you reflect [on] your year.

What do you use your Spotify Wrapped for?

I usually post it on my story so people can know my top artist, because I really think that gives a good indicator of what I like to listen to and the type of person I am. [I like] to compare with my family and friends, and also [to realize] what a year I’ve had.

Who were your top artist and song this year?

Taylor Swift and “Not Strong Enough."

Iaroslav Baicev '25

Who were your top artist and song this year?

Oasis and “Don’t Look Back In Anger."

Eve Kavookjin ’27

Who were your top artist and song this year?

Adrianne Lenker and “Acolyte."

Christina Metaxas ’25

Do you think Spotify Wrapped is an important part of the platform?

I think it’s fun, and you get to see [what you listened to]. But is it going to change who I listen to next year? Not really.
