Why Your Spotify Wrapped Is Wrong

from Rhythm and Rhymes · host Rhythm and Rhymes

Your Spotify Wrapped might not be telling you the truth — and in this episode we explain why. We break down the hidden metric behind Wrapped (weighted streams), how 30-second listens distort your rankings, and why your true top artists might look completely different once you recalculate them. We also get into the Jorja Smith AI impersonation scandal, Asake’s viral “fake dreads” moment, Leon Thomas’ live show in Chicago, and the new music we’ve been loving as 2024 wraps up. Topics This Episode: • How Spotify Wrapped actually works• Why weighted streams change your rankings• Recalculating our real top artists• Drake, Kendrick, Leon Thomas & who we listened to most• Jorja Smith’s AI “I Run” controversy• Asake’s hair (yes… we had to talk about it)• Leon Thomas concert review• New music: Kelvin Momo, Redveil, Kari, Babyface E, more
