What happened? This year, Spotify turned its annual Wrapped Moment into a group experience with a new feature called Wrapped Party. Instead of just comparing screenshots with friends, you can now invite them to a shared space within Spotify, where everyone’s music habits will be displayed together in real time.
• Wrapped Party lets you create a private room and invite friends to join.
• Each person sees their own stats next to everyone else’s, side by side.
• It works on both iOS and Android and supports up to 9 people in a room.
What does it matter? Wrapped Party is a new interactive area within the Spotify app that compares your personal Wrapped stats with those of your friends. It’s meant to feel like a party within the app, complete with animated graphics and playful comparisons.
- You’ll see rankings comparing each participant’s listening stats, including total minutes streamed, top artists, and quirky wrapped categories.
- You can scroll through and react with emojis to who streamed what throughout the year.
- There are special “groups only” cards that allow you to give out fun awards based on your music history, such as: E.g. who is the “most hopeless romantic” in your group or who has streamed the most mainstream titles.
How do I start the Spotify Wrapped Party?
Initiating a wrapped party is easy.
- Update the Spotify app, open your Wrapped, then tap the “Wrapped Party” tile.
- Create a room and share the invitation link or QR code with friends. Once they join, everyone’s cards will be automatically filled out.
The feature supports up to 9 people, making it good for groups looking for comparison fun. Anyone ages 13 and older can join Wrapped Party, but as of January 2025, they must have at least 30 valid streams from five or more artists.
Why should I care? Wrapped Party takes the most social moment of Spotify’s year and turns it into something you can enjoy together, not just post about.
- If you’re looking for a fun and effortless way to compare music tastes, this feature makes the entire experience more personal, shareable, and surprisingly insightful.
