You’re Not Basic, Spotify Wrapped Sucks.

[@heisenburgers]

I don't blame you. If I had Harry Styles in my Wrapped, I also would have made a video justifying it 😏

[@chapman1270]

Awesome video as always! I have thought about including Letterboxd features in a music review app before but you brought up an interesting point about making this review data private. I am against Spotify turning into another Facebook where you can comment on other peoples playlists and rate and review individual songs and albums publicly. If this were to happen, it would incentivize people listening to what's cool instead of what they actually enjoy.

[@sergescardigno]

thank you! some good points here

[@randielzoquier6249]

I was really surprised that Coldplay made it to the top of my wrapped even though I didn’t think I listened to a lot of Coldplay. I wish there was a cool way to dig deeper into stats like that

[@sergescardigno]

exactly!

[@Tubeman66]

Every year my Spotify wrapped is filled with NEON GENESIS Evangelion

[@cobra_namami]

thank youuu bc the fact that my spotify said my most listened to artist was drake I was like HUH .. aint no way 🤨🤨

[@sergescardigno]

haha that could be the case, but my point here is that you probably enjoyed other stuff way more than drake this year, despite maybe giving him a few more plays

[@ryndesu8299]

good video I never really thought about it in this context

[@sergescardigno]

ty!!

[@jacobiskandermusic]

I’ve been listening to more emo music, and I’m much happier 😤

[@sergescardigno]

I’M GLAD

[@PrincessNinja007]

I listened to this guy once in April and once in October He was my #3 artist

[@nickt.2507]

Sergio really said: “ya like jazz?”

[@sergescardigno]

in a few words more or less yes

[@avranilhalder2007]

I have a playlist of chill beats which i listen to while studying, Idk the artist so I saw a random namr on my 2nd and" i went who tf is that",

[@jammies701]

Such good videos! Dunno how you do it

[@yogreenboi]

Aye, nice point serge! They should change it up a bit and should do something creative instead of just presenting AI calculated data,and after your take ...i pretty much hate wrapped now lol even though i just joined spotify

[@sergescardigno]

haha ty man - i think wrapped today is an ok experience, but it could definitely be a lot better with the amount of data they likely have

[@HailToTheMeep]

What make you think their stats are to serve you? (Me). Even IF we paid them? The data and the profiles always go back to the same place: ADVERTISERS

[@sergescardigno]

I address this in the video, all I'm really saying is Spotify could be using that data more effectively, and wrapped as it stands right now feels low-effort

[@elimo3901]

Interesting analysis! Especially for someone who's obsessed with Wrapped, because you also get a playlist with your hundred most played songs. I def think there is music for any occasion or moment. For instance as an ENVU to use Spotify terms, I love exploring new music. But I do this when I feel good or am in a curious mode whereas I would probably listen to my regular pick me ups - Yes, LeAnn Rimes: 'Can't fight the Moonlight' is one of them - when I feel down or more vulnerable. My Wrapped was pretty spot on tho; I became addicted to HAIM's latest album, which went on repeat, and I never really listened to them before. I even saw them perform last summer. I listened to A LOT of Kaytranada because it's just S O damn good (the video you made on his career was dope). I was intrigued by Amber Mark and her album as well as Spanish Rosalia. I was introduced to Scary Pockets in the beginning of '22 so they also made my top 5. But I get what you said that doing specific activities might depend on certain musical genres or artists.

[@virtualdigits]

Is there any way to chance my wrapped

[@eduardogonzalez4832]

Great video, but I now want to know Sergio's Letterboxd

[@sergescardigno]

lol it's messed up bc i logged movies incorrectly for the longest time, but here ya go: letterboxd.com/sergescardigno/

[@antonioelters2999]

If Spotify recommended me 100 gecs I'd throw my phone in the Hudson

[@sergescardigno]

why you gotta be like that

[@drioko]

Yes it is accurate. Y’all just sad it wasn’t how you wanted 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
