Spilling the Tea on Spotify's "Listening Age"
Okay, so Spotify Wrapped is back to spill the tea on your music addiction. We all know the drill: it tells you your top artists, songs you had on repeat, and all that jazz. But this year, they're coming at us with a brand-new feature called "listening age," and it's low-key savage.
Basically, Spotify's tryna guess your age based on the music you're streaming. Apparently, they think everyone's obsessed with the tunes they bumped between 16 and 21 (the "reminiscence bump," as the experts call it). So, if your playlist is stuck in the early 2000s, prepare to be called out as a geriatric millennial. π
People are losing their minds on social media, posting their "listening ages" and either flexing or crying. Even some Canadian politicians like Mark Carney and Melissa Lantsman jumped on the bandwagon, because apparently even they aren't immune to being judged by their playlists. π€·ββοΈ
Who's the GOAT of 2025?
While we're at it, let's talk about who's been dominating the charts. Globally, Bad Bunny is still the king, no cap. Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Drake, and Billie Eilish are also up there, holding it down for the mainstream. But in Canada, Drake, Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, The Weeknd, and Kendrick Lamar were the top 5 artists, showing what the true north is really listening to. π¨π¦
How to Get Your Wrapped On
If you're wondering how Spotify knows your soul so well, they've been collecting data from January 1st to mid-November. To get your top songs, you gotta listen to at least 30 tracks for over 30 seconds each. To see top artists, you need to listen to at least five unique artists for over 30 seconds. And to unlock those top albums, you need to have listened to at least 70 percent of the tracks on one album.
What Else is New?
Besides the "listening age" drama, Spotify also dropped some new features like "Top Albums" and "Wrapped Party," so you can vibe with your friends over your questionable music choices. Go check out your results and prepare to be either humbled or validated! πΆ
