Perhaps this year's wackiest new reveal is your Sound Town. It matches you up with the location that listens to the most similar music as you. From Bend, Oregon to Burlington, Vermont to Davis, California, you might find a new travel destination to meet up with like-minded listeners.

Spotify launched its AI DJ earlier this year, and now it's celebrating its first Wrapped. To mark the occasion, when you listen to your AI DJ this week instead of the regularly scheduled programming, it will run through your top artists, songs, and genres of the year with some additional commentary curated from Spotify's expert editorial team.

Genre sandwich

Last year's Wrapped depicted you as an astronaut exploring different genre planets. Now your top genres are presented as fillings to a delicious genre sandwich. The bigger the portion of the sandwich, the more you listened to that genre. To make things even more tasty, the variety of sandwich fixings reflects the sonic diversity on the charts this year.
