“Spotify Wrapped” is a feature on the streaming platform that tells users their music-listening statistics for the year.

“The majority of this year was me listening to K-pop, but then, recently, I’ve switched to a lot of indie bands,” said sophomore Paige Klapper. (Isabella Dudley-Flores)

“[My top songs list on Deezer] starts with ’22’ [by] JayO, not rap, but [an] Afro-kind-of thing, then ‘New Opp,’ it’s like, a drill-kind-of thing,” said junior Maelan Collet. (Isabella Dudley-Flores)

“My top artist was Lana Del Rey, I had 85,000 streams for her and I was in the top 0.001% of fans,” said junior Alyssa Pena, who listened to 276,000 minutes of music overall. (Isabella Dudley-Flores)

“All of the artists that came down to my most listened to Wrapped Spotify of 2023 were all Brazilian artists which was very interesting because a lot of the music and a lot of the artists are from different genres of music,” said senior Natalie Assaf. “It reminds me of home.” (Isabella Dudley-Flores)

“It’s definitely a lot of unique music, music that doesn’t get many listens. My second-most [listened to] song has like, 500 listeners currently. I’d say, for the most part, my music list is jungle-core, break-core, stuff that’s really intense,” said senior Alex Santos. (Isabella Dudley-Flores)
