Spotify Wrapped: How to see your top songs and music for 2019

By Simon Cohen Published December 5, 2019

As it has done in the past, Spotify has created Wrapped 2019, a personalized way for Premium subscribers to take a deep dive into the music that shaped their year. With insights on which tracks were your most-streamed, the tool also highlights other cool stats like your favorite artists, albums, podcasts, and how much time you spent listening.

Previous Wrapped features were only available on the web, via a custom website. While it’s still available on the web, this year Spotify embedded the Wrapped stats in the Spotify mobile app, making it way easier to find and use. There’s also a new feature for folks who love to share: Share cards let you tell the world what you were into for 2019 via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.

All of the personalized insights are just for Spotify Premium members. However, if you’re not a Premium subscriber, you can still enjoy Wrapped 2019. It won’t show you personalized results, but you’ll be greeted by playlists dedicated to the top tracks, artists, and groups of 2019 for your specific country.

And, because we’re at the end of a decade as well as the end of a year, Wrapped 2019 is even more in-depth, giving you a peek at the most streamed songs and artists for the previous 10 years. Spotify has also whipped up some fun, themed playlists with a 10-year retrospective vibe, like The Ones We Slept On, 10 Years Of Heartache, The Party Hits of the 2010s, and 10 Summers You Won’t Forget.

Not a Spotify Premium member? If you’re an AT&T customer you may be able to get it for free.

Tidal vs. Spotify: Which music streaming service has the features you need?

Tidal home page on iPhone.

If you in the midst of choosing which music streaming service is best for you, when comparing Spotify and Tidal, price is an important, but not the only, factor to consider. Spotify stands out with its flexible subscription options, offering individual, family, and student plans, each with its own unique benefits. In contrast, Tidal offers various subscription plans, too, but Tidal's calling card is that it includes premium and hi-fi options, with the hi-fi plan providing access to lossless, hi-res audio. Spotify does not offer this ... yet.

Spotify uses the Ogg Vorbis and AAC audio formats for streaming, delivering audio at varying bitrates. At the same time, Tidal's hi-fi subscription offers lossless, CD-quality audio and hi-res audio files in FLAC and HiRes FLAC formats.

What is Spotify? Music, pricing, and features explained

When it comes to the best music streaming services out there, Spotify is probably the first app you think of. With 675 million users, and more than 260 million subscribers, it's miles ahead of competition like Apple Music. But what is Spotify, how does it work, and how much does it cost? We've got the answers to all your questions right here.
Let's take a look.
What is Spotify?

If you spend even a little time online, you've probably heard of Spotify. It's a popular free and paid music-streaming service founded in Stockholm in 2006 by Swedish friends Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon. Fun fact: the name happened by fluke when the partners were shouting names back and forth from different rooms in Ek's Stockholm flat, and Ek misheard one of Lorentzon's suggestions as "Spotify." They later backtracked the meaning as a combination of spot and identify, and there you have it.
Spotify today is a behemoth of a streaming service that also offers access to podcasts, videos, and highly tailored playlists driven by your unique usage. With several plan tiers to choose from, Spotify's free version lets you listen to unlimited music, podcasts, and even videos, so you can explore your taste without shelling out a thing, but you do have to endure ads and limited functionality (more on that below). It does offer much more robust paid options (more below, too), but the free version is more than enough for the casual listener.
Spotify is also quite device-versatile, so you can use it on your smartphone, tablet, computer, laptop, TV, smartwatch, gaming console, and even in your car. You get the expected, intuitive controls like play/pause, next/previous, loop a song/playlist, and save favorites. But that's not all. There's a lot that Spotify offers, so let's break down what you can look forward to.
