The tool included statistics like the listener’s most played songs and how many hours of music they listened to in total. Spotify originally released their first iteration of Wrapped in 2015 as “Year in Music,” a feature for users to look back through their last 365 days via the songs and artists they listened to most. Instagram stories were filled with streaming statistics that either poked fun at lowbrow taste or flexed artistic inclinations. Not long after, people all over the internet were sharing their listening results. A friend frantically sent me a screenshot showing they were in the top 1 percent of Frank Ocean listeners with a message, “CAN U BELIEVE THIS,” followed by a deluge of texts from other friends, highlighting their streaming accolades. When Spotify Wrapped came out in 2017, it hit my group chats like breaking news.
