The difference between the last and this is vast, though. It is called Your Artist Messages and it was something that Spotify Wrapped introduced last year. This final feature isn’t necessarily new, but it sure has gained in popularity.

“Somber friendly” is just one of the morning listening habit definitions. Here Spotify will monitor users listening habits throughout the day and define said habits by morning, daytime, and nighttime. SPOTIFY HAS ALSO ADDED AUDIO DAYĪnother new feature for this year’s Spotify Wrapped is called Audio Day. While everyone’s bathing in the mainstream, you’re frolicking in that sidestream.” This is a fun way that Spotify tells listeners what their listening habits are all about. If the Spotify Wrapped personality trait delivered you The Maverick, it would include the letters ETLU (exploration, timelessness, loyalty, uniqueness) and inform the listener that they “know who you are as a listener. You venture out into the unknown, searching for fresher artists, deeper cuts, newer tracks – especially gems yet to be found.” For example, clicking on The Adventurer card will reveal the letters ENVU (exploration, newness, variety, uniqueness) and inform the listener that they are “a seeker of sound. Now, to find out exactly what each represents, head over to the Spotify newsroom and click on each individual personality. The 16 are The Adventurer, The Early Adopter, The Deep Diver, The Devotee, The Replayer, The Connoisseur, The Maverick, The Fan Clubber, The Top Charter, The Enthusiast, The Time Traveler, The Musicologist, The Nomad, The Voyager, The Jukeboxer, and The Specialist. The following are all 16 personality types and after, we will give examples of how they were created. Once the listener’s letters are presented, they will also be given one of 16 personality types. Loyalty (L) vs Variety (V) – How loyal is the listener? Do they have their favorite artist on repeat (L) or do they rock through a bunch of artists before they hit the repeat button (V)?Ĭommonality (C) vs Uniqueness (U) – Is the listener like most listeners and follow only the most popular artist (C) or do they instead seek and find artists that are less known (U)? Timelessness (T) vs Newness (N) – Listeners will get to see if their listening habits revolve around the timelessness sounds of music from yesterday (T) or if they prefer to listen to brand new music right out of the chute (N). These are:įamiliarity (F) vs Exploration (E) – Here listeners will find out if their habits are artists they are most familiar (F) with or if they instead sample a bunch of new music (E). The listening personality one receives is made up of four metrics. These letters/personalities were created by the Spotify Team and are intended to represent the many different aspects of the listener’s personality. Spotify Wrapped is taking a cue from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality test by examining one’s listening habits and then offering the four letters than make up their listening personality. “The way we listen to music says a lot about us and your listening personality not only tells you about the music you listen to, but what that says about your music taste,” said Babar Zafar, Spotify’s vice president of product development. The whole idea behind Spotify Wrapped initially was making it about the listener, but this year the music streaming service has taken it a step further. The first new feature Spotify has included in this year’s Spotify Wrapped is your listening personality. SPOTIFY WRAPPED IS ADDING LISTENER PERSONALITY AS A NEW FEATURE
