Many people define their relationship with Spotify like they do their significant other: It’s complicated.

Breakups are hard, and Spotify is easy to date. You just pop it open, and the music you’ve been collecting for years is at your fingertips, with new music as readily available. Your playlists, your podcasts, we know the reasons. Some bands have jumped ship because they’re unhappy with the low returns on investment. Listeners have joined them in solidarity.

Those still using Spotify find a source of excitement this time every year. Spotify Wrapped is a personalized recap of users’ listening habits from the entire year. And you do get an obvious look at who is on your musical mind. From the song you listened to the most to the exact minutes you let the tunes roll, it’s super thorough and allows for plenty of geeking out on your own habits.

If you’re diving into Wrapped, it’s also a great way to not only see what people are listening to around the globe, but also to learn about different genres and discover some new sounds and acts on your radar. And always check out local music; let’s propel area bands to the top of these broad lists.
