If you’ve been online within the past week or so, you’ve definitely noticed the abundance of music posts from either Spotify Wrapped or Apple Replay. Spotify Wrapped encapsulates the essence of your year in music. As the year goes on, Spotify compiles and presents a unique retrospective, offering the listener a front-row seat to their most-listened-to songs, artists, genres and more. It’s not just a recap; it’s a vivid snapshot of your musical identity, creating a sense of nostalgia and discovery as you reflect on the soundtrack of your life over the past year.
On the other hand, Apple Replay has been just as popular in the last few weeks. Apple Replay provides the listener with a personalized playlist that evolves throughout the year, dynamically updating based on their listening habits. Replay also invites the listener to dive into their musical archives and rediscover the magic of their favorites over the past year.
