Spotify Wrapped is back for 2023, so it’s time to hyper-fixate on what our music tastes and listening habits truly say about us as people all over again. You might have learned your playlists are eclectic, you’re in Taylor Swift’s top 0.5 per cent of listeners— or that what goes on in your headphones is a big old cry for help.

This goes for people you’re dating, too. Maybe you peaked over at their Spotify and saw their top artist for the year was still Kanye. Or perhaps their Me in 23 persona was The Alchemist, meaning they could well have made a personalised playlists for every girl on Hinge from Liverpool to London.

So, in case you’re concerned that your – or the guy you’re dating’s – Spotify Wrapped is a big waving musical red flag, here’s a list of every single thing that fundamentally indicates chaos amongst the stats and analytics:

Your number of listening minutes for the year is wildly over 50,000

Look, we all like to escape reality for a bit. Chances are, you’re emotionally attached to your AirPods. Everyone needs music to mentally place ourselves elsewhere to get through the morning commute.

But the thing is, the average person listens to songs on Spotify for about 148 minutes every day. Or, roughly 48,100 minutes per year. So if your figure is wildly over 50k, you’re plugged in the majority of the time. You probably haven’t heard a bird sing since the Walkman was invented. Doctors are worried about your ear drums.
