My Spotify Wrapped fell flat, but Google Photos nailed my 2024 recap

My Spotify Wrapped recap landed a couple of days ago and, as has become customary for the past few years, I rushed to check out my yearly stats, hoping to get a smile on my face and some funky stats and details about my 2024 music habits. But something felt off. This year’s Wrapped lacked heart. It was very factual and based on very simple stats that I can easily get from the stats.fm integration any other day of the year. I don’t wait for Wrapped to see the stats I know; I wait for it to see those I don’t.

Granted, for me, it was a bit unexpected to see Loic Nottet as my most listened to artist — I expected Imagine Dragons, Blind Channel, or Connor Price — but I knew he’d be in my top five. That was the extent of my Wrapped surprise, though. Italian songs in my top five? I knew that. I quickly sped through the whole thing, watched the artist videos (no AI podcast for me in France), and left the app without sharing anything from it.
