Spotify’s 2023 Wrapped has arrived, and with it, a slew of stats and data on 2023 in music. The headliner? Taylor Swift, who was the platform’s most-streamed artist of the year, a feat that will earn her over $100 million.
On Wednesday, November 29th, Spotify unveiled that Swift had generated 26.1 billion streams over the year, in part thanks to the releases of her 2022 album, Midnights, her 2023 re-releases, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version), and her ongoing “Eras Tour.” Each of those releases racked up hundreds of millions of streams, and now, her year-end stats blow every other artist in Spotify history out of the water — in 2022, when Bad Bunny broke the previous record for most-streams in a year, he only brought in around 18.5 billion.
According to Billboard, the streams Swift can already account for will likely bring in around $97 million — add in the streams she’ll get in December,...

Beloved parody artist Weird Al uses his Spotify Wrapped video to criticize the music streamer for not giving the artists enough money.
“Spotify Wrapped went live today, giving users a detailed roundup of the music they listened to in the past year, which makes us all ask, ‘Is that seriously my most listened-to song?’ This year’s Wrapped featured messages from your favorite artists, such as Taylor Swift, Sza, and even Weird Al, who had some choice words for Spotify’s pay structure. ‘It’s my understanding that I had over 80 million streams on Spotify this year, so if I’m doing...

The 2023 Spotify Wrapped officially dropped on Wednesday, November 29th. Even if you haven’t had a chance to parse through your friends’ Instagram stories yet, you already know the deal: Folks whining that their carefully-curated “eclectic” tastes aren’t accurately represented, Swifties bowing to the feigned exclusivity of being in Taylor’s top 0.01% of fans, and — wait, why the hell is everybody talking about Burlington, Vermont?
In rolling out its eighth annual iteration, Spotify Wrapped introduced something new: Your “Sound Town,” or, the city Spotify’s artificial intelligence assigns you based on your listening habits and which demographic would hypothetically align with them. You thought you were primed for Brooklyn just because you enjoy bands signed to Saddle Creek? Nope — on Spotify’s terms, you and your canvas tote bags should pack up and head for Vermont’s most populous city. (Consider this writer humbled.)

Taylor Swift is celebrating her newfound status as Spotify’s Global Top Artist with a surprise of her own: The massively popular singer-songwriter has just officially released the previously hard-to-find fan favorite song “You’re Losing Me.”
The song, now widely available on streaming services, is the latest of Swift’s “from the vault” releases – tracks that didn’t make her official studio albums. “You’re Losing Me,” which Swift co-wrote with producer Jack Antonoff, was initially released last May only on the “Late Night Edition” CD of Swift’s 2022 album Midnights and in a digital version exclusively at her web store.
This morning, Swift posted on X/Twitter, “Um ok this is unreal?? I just wanted to say to anyone who listened to my music this year, anywhere in the world, thank you. Getting named Spotify’s Global Top Artist in 2023 is truly the best birthday/holiday gift you could’ve given me.

The Joe Rogan Experience was the top podcast of the year globally in 2023, marking its fourth consecutive year in that position, according to Spotify Wrapped data released Wednesday.
Wrapped, which analyzes listening data in 2023 about the most-streamed artists and podcasts on the platform, also saw Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy (which, like Joe Rogan’s, is exclusive to Spotify) retain its second place spot on the global list, while Dr. Andrew Huberman’s science podcast, Huberman Lab, jumped to third. Emma Chamberlain’s podcast, Anything Goes, which became exclusive to Spotify in 2023 and placed third last year, came in fourth. On Purpose with Jay Shetty, which recently inked an ad sales deal with iHeartMedia, rounded out the global list in fifth place.
The U.S. podcast list also saw Ashley Flowers’ true crime series Crime Junkie, This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von and The New York Times’ podcast The...

‘Nandor Fodor And The Talking Mongoose’ Review: A True Life Mystery Wrapped In Unnecessary Confusion
Time and again, no amount of effort by a cast, director, or, say, the person assigned to operate the cameras can save a movie from any number of failings, be they the overall quality or the film’s ability to make sense. This analysis is far from groundbreaking, and at its core level, a film can still be considered something of a success if said film is, at the very least, pleasing to the eye and not possess the look of something assembled in a manner that suggests the team behind the scenes doesn’t understand their craft.
