Spotify’s yearly Wrapped feature has taken the world by storm once again, offering users a personalized overview of their listening habits over the past year. This trend has led to a surge in similar year-in-review experiences offered by various companies, each providing a unique twist on the concept.
Amazon Music
One such platform is Amazon Music, which has introduced “2024 Delivered,” a Spotify Wrapped knockoff that showcases users’ top artists, songs, and podcasts. What sets this feature apart is its integration with Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa, offering users personalized messages from their favorite artists. Previously, Amazon Music had “My Year in Review,” a playlist based on yearly statistics.
Apple Music
Apple Music’s “Replay” experience, introduced in 2019, provides a comprehensive summary of top songs, artists, albums, genres, and playlists, including play counts and total listening time. This year, they added “listening streaks” to highlight days with the longest music listening sessions, now available on the mobile app.
Deezer
Deezer’s “My Deezer Year” offers a yearly roundup of music consumption, including top songs, genres, albums, and artists. What makes Deezer unique is the option to be “roasted” or “hyped-up” based on music preferences and a quiz to test friends and family on your taste.
SoundCloud
SoundCloud recently launched its SoundCloud 2024 recap, showcasing top artists, albums, tracks, and moods, along with total listening time and a playlist of the 50 most listened-to songs.
YouTube Music
YouTube Music’s Recap feature offers a personalized experience, highlighting top artists, songs, moods, genres, and playlists, along with listening streaks and total minutes listened. Access this feature through the profile avatar in the mobile apps.
Duolingo
Even language learning app Duolingo has joined the trend with its “Year in Review” experience, providing insights like total XP earned, longest streak, and ranking compared to other users.
Mastodon
Social networking app Mastodon introduced “Wrapstodon” for a platform overview, including total posts, new followers, most boosted post, and most used hashtag.
Netflix Wrapped
While Netflix itself doesn’t offer a year-end wrap-up, Kapwing’s tool uses viewing data to provide insights like “most bingeful day” and total watch time for individual subscribers.
Reddit users can explore their yearly activity through “Reddit Recap,” detailing posts, upvotes, downvotes, awards, time spent, and frequented subreddits.
Tinder
Tinder has created the “Year In Swipe Vision Board,” allowing users to summarize their dating experiences from 2024 and set intentions for the upcoming year.
As we enter December, more companies may unveil their own annual recaps, building on the success of Spotify Wrapped. Stay tuned for updates on year-end wrap-ups from various services like Goodreads, Hulu, Pandora, PlayStation, Strava, Tidal, and even Aldi. The trend continues to evolve, offering users new ways to reflect on their year in music, learning, social networking, streaming, and more.
