Why Spotify Wrapped SUCKS (in 2024)

This week on Educate Your Earbuds, we dive into the 2025 edition of Spotify Wrapped and discuss why it’s sparking backlash from music fans. Some users have been questioning the validity of their data this year and if Spotify Wrapped is even accurate? We also break down the new features Spotify introduced this year and why they might not hit the mark, revisit the features from past editions that listeners are begging to have back, and reveal the top global artists, songs, and albums dominating the charts. And, of course, we take a hilarious look at my own Spotify Wrapped results—it’s as embarrassing as it is relatable.  If you’re into trending music topics, streaming culture, or just love to analyze your music habits, this episode is for you!  Thanks for listening!
