Spotify’s annual Wrapped feature — which is coming out soon — provides listeners with a fun, personalized summary of their listening habits, and it has gained immense popularity over the years. As a result, many companies have seized the opportunity to create similar year-in-review experiences, offering users a recap of their habits, preferences, or interactions from the past year.
Here are some platforms and websites that mimic the Spotify Wrapped concept.
Amazon Music has a new Spotify Wrapped knockoff this year called “2024 Delivered,” which offers a summary of users’ listening stats, such as top artists, songs, and even podcasts. Notably, the platform also takes advantage of Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa, by giving users a special message from their favorite artist. The feature can be found on the app by tapping the Library page.
Previously, Amazon Music’s equivalent of Spotify Wrapped was “My Year in Review,” a playlist featuring 50 to 100 of the most popular tracks based on your yearly statistics. The playlist is in the “Playlists” section or “Made For You.”
Apple-owned music streaming service Apple Music rolled out its “Replay” experience in 2019. This feature offers a summary of top songs, artists, albums, genres, playlists, and stations, including play counts, total time spent listening, and other insights. You can also share personalized listening data on social media, and a year-end highlight reel offers an audio and visual recap of the music you listened to the most throughout the year.
A new feature this year is “listening streaks,” which provides you with the days when you listened to music on the service the longest. It also brought the experience to the mobile app, after previously only being available on Apple’s Replay website.
Additionally, the platform also launched a monthly version of Replay earlier this year, letting you access monthly music habits, such as top songs, artists, albums, and more.
Deezer, another popular music streaming app, offers a yearly roundup called “My Deezer Year,” which provides a summary of your music consumption over the year, including top songs, genres, most-listened-to albums, and favorite artists.
Notably, two aspects that make it stand out are that it gives you the option to be “roasted” or “hyped-up” based on your music preferences, and it includes a quiz that tests how well friends and family know your music taste.
YouTube Music’s Recap feature offers a personalized and interactive experience, including the top five artists, songs, moods, genres, albums, and playlists. It also shows your longest listening streak and the total number of minutes you listened in a year.
Access the feature by tapping on the profile avatar in the top-right corner and selecting “Your Recap.” It’s available in the Android and iOS mobile apps.
In addition to music streaming platforms, other types of platforms are also capatilizing on Spotify’s success, including the language learning app Duolingo. The platform’s “Year in Review” experience is a 10-page summary that reveals all types of learner insights, such as total XP earned, longest streak, and where you rank compared to other Duolingo users.
Social networking app Mastodon has also hopped on the trend this year, launching “Wrapstodon” to give you an overview of your year on the platform, including the total number of posts you created, new followers added, your most boosted post, as well as your most used hashtag.
While Netflix doesn’t offer its own version of a year-end wrap-up, a video-editing company called Kapwing has developed a tool that uses Netflix viewing data to provide interesting statistics about individual subscribers. This includes insights like subscribers’ “most bingeful day” and total watch time.
To use the tool, simply import your Netflix viewing history. You’ll receive various insights, such as total minutes and days streamed, the top shows and movies watched, significant binges (like when an entire season was watched in one day), and the most-watched movie actor, among other statistics.
Users on Reddit can view an extensive summary of their activity from this year through “Reddit Recap,” a feature that enables them to examine their yearly engagement on the platform. This tool provides a detailed breakdown of posts, along with the total upvotes and downvotes received, as well as any awards earned throughout the year. It’ll also display the total time spent using the platform, along with the most frequented subreddits and topics.
Inspired by the trend of TikTok users sharing “Dating Wrapped” presentations of their dates throughout the year, the popular dating app Tinder has launched a new feature called the “Year In Swipe Vision Board.” This tool allows users to create personalized mood boards that summarize their dating experiences from 2024. Additionally, users can set “dating intentions” for the upcoming year, specifying exactly what they are looking for, such as a “Man in Finance” or a “Gamer Girlfriend.”
In 2020, TikTok launched a feature that showed how many videos you watched and the engagement on your videos. However, it’s no longer available, prompting people to create their own versions.
One such tool was developed by Bennett Hollstein. It functions similarly to Kapwing’s tool, enabling users to export their TikTok data. To do this, visit the TikTok Settings page, click on “Settings and privacy,” then “Account,” and select “Download your data.” In both instances, it is important to choose “JSON – Machine-readable file” as the file format before uploading this file to “Wrapped for TikTok.”
Once the file is uploaded, you will then be able to view the total number of videos watched, total watch time, and engagement persona, such as “Interaction Monster.”
Since it’s still early December, more companies may launch their own annual recaps. Many services have released year-end wrap-ups in the past, including Goodreads, Hulu, Pandora, PlayStation, SoundCloud, Strava, Tidal, and others. Even the grocery store Aldi has participated.
This story was updated after publication to include newly added Wrapped-like features from various platforms.
