It’s the beginning of December again, which means Spotify Wrapped has just dropped. Like last year, I want to share mine here and encourage you to do the same, so we can all discover some great music :)
This year, Spotify used a TikTok-style vertical scroll for Wrapped instead of the old Instagram Story format. I didn’t quite like it as much because you had to actively swipe pretty often to get to the next bit of information. In previous years, you could just let it play through and watch your Wrapped like a movie. Since leaving Instagram and TikTok, I’m just not used to that format anymore, so maybe that’s on me.
But anyway, let’s take a look at the list now. Every song is linked, so you can directly listen to it on Spotify. Enjoy, and let me know if you also like one of these!
Top Songs
1. Lost My Mind – BUNT., Elley Duhé
106 listens
Third time in my Wrapped, second time in a row on the top spot: What can I say? This song is just great! Together with Broken (Lost Frequencies Cut) and Clouds (also by BUNT.), it’s the only song that has been in my heavy rotation since 2023. All songs still remind me of my Seoul trip, so they always make me nostalgic. And again, it’s just a remarkable song – also for running.
2. Promised Land (Patrick Lite Remix) – Saco, Sparkle, Patrick Lite
83 listens
Especially the first couple of notes, this “guitar sound” (for the lack of a better word) always calms me down. It’s generally a pretty chill song, and quite the opposite to #1. Definitely not something for a running playlist but still a great one.
3. Clouds – BUNT., Nate Traveller
72 listens
Well, who’s that again? Take a guess who was my favorite artist this year ;) This song was also in my top 5 last year, but it even climbed one place higher this time. Pretty similar style to #1 but that’s why I listen to BUNT. so often. It’s this mix of dreamy sounds and samples with techno elements that is just awesome. It was also the artist’s break-out single in 2023 and still holds up to this day.
4. The Unknown – PALASTIC, Sam Welch
66 listens
PALASTIC has a couple of great songs, but this one has stuck with me the most this year. It’s a pretty warm and calming sound, the sort of music you would listen to on a late night car drive or commute. If you like this one, also check out their other songs, they have similar vibes.
5. Dreamer – Tom Bailey
63 listens
An ode to childhood and also a dreamy1 song again. I haven’t listened much to Tom’s other songs, but I probably should. What’s also cool about this song are the visuals, which show VHS-style clips of the artist’s childhood. For the extra nostalgic feels.
