   The season has come for the music rundown. Spotify Wrapped 2024 is now out and ready to be unboxed. For the second year running, Taylor Swift has been named the most listened-to artist with 26.6 billion streams. Swift is followed by Drake, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, and Kanye West. 

   “She was my number one cause I had 20,000 minutes,” Ariana Visnich, senior, said, “I am not surprised that she’s my number one artist cause I have been to the Eras Tour twice.”

   For those who do not know, Spotify Wrapped is a personalized bundle of top artists, the most listened-to songs, and how long you listened for. This year there is a new feature being presented. Music Evolution shows how your music taste changed from the beginning of the year till the wrapped. 

   “It was really surprising seeing how much my music taste had changed in just a few months,” Nicolette Wayne, senior, said. 

   Since Spotify Wrapped is a yearly event, it provides listeners with data to see how their music taste has changed over the years. The podcasts and playlists made by the AI DJ allow people to have a clash of all the music and artists they have listened to. 

   “I was excited to get my Spotify wrapped for this year. Frank Ocean is my favorite artist so to have him as my top artist of the year is so special,” Angelina Valdivia, senior, said. 

   When comparing the wrapped from the last few years Spotify is attempting to incorporate new elements each year. Each Wrapped becomes more personalized and showcases an individual’s music preference.
