Last year went by too fast, and our music taste changed so much: from pop, to K-Pop Demon Hunters, to country, and our Spotify Wrapped encompassed all of that. Spotify Wrapped looks back at all the music you have listened to from January 1st to mid November. It summarizes everything and shows you stats such as how many minutes of music you listened to, your most played song, your most played album, and even your listening age, which tells you, depending on the music you listen to, what age people tend to be when listening to the music. This is a new feature for 2025.
This year, the top ten US songs on Spotify Wrapped were… (dun dun DUN)
luther (with sza) by Kendrick Lamar
Die With A Smile by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga
Ordinary by Alex Warren
BIRDS OF A FEATHER by Billie Eilish
tv off (feat. lefty gunplay) by Kendrick Lamar
Golden by HUNTR/X (seriously?)
back to friends by Sombr (yesssss)
Timeless (feat. Playboi Carti) by The Weekend
Pink Pony Club by Chapell Roan
No One Noticed by The Marias
Personally, I think Golden by HUNTR/X should not be on there because most people are over their K-Pop Demon Hunters phase. (If you’re not… no judgement!)
The top albums were… (dramatic pause)
I’m The Problem by Morgan Wallen (really??)
SOS Deluxe: LANA by SZA
DeBI TiRAR MaS FOToS by Bad Bunny
Kpop Demon Hunters by HUNTR/X, K-pop Demon Hunters cast, and Saja Boys (why???)
GNX by Kendrick Lamar
Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter
So Close To What by Tate Mcrae
The Life of a Showgirl by Taylor Swift (which was released only recently)
One Thing At A Time by Morgan Wallen (again!?)
HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish
I still think that K-pop Demon Hunters needs to GET OFF THIS LIST, and most Lakesiders agreed with this because almost no one had K-pop Demon Hunters on their Spotify Wrapped. I was also surprised because Short n’ Sweet was STILL on there instead of Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend, although MBF might’ve been slightly more mature for some of her audience… Also, Morgan Wallen was on there TWICE, and no hate to him but can we make some room for other artists?
The top artists were… (drumroll please)
Taylor Swift
Drake
Morgan Wallen
Kendrick Lamar
Bad Bunny
The Weekend
SZA
Zach Bryan
Tyler, The Creator
Kanye West
We created a Google form about Spotify wrapped, and from our responses, Lakeside’s top artists were… (blame yourself for not voting if you don’t like it)
Taylor Swift
Olivia Rodrigo
Tate McRae
Stray Kids
Other!
6th grader Liana G. had the most minutes within the survey. She had 39,756 minutes. That’s almost a month of listening to music on Spotify!
When people were asked to guess their top song, 13 people guessed their top song wrong, and so did we, (though a lot of people just didn’t guess). I think that it was pretty hard to guess because some of us did not remember the songs we listened to earlier this year.
Some of the results were slightly concerning, but overall this year's Spotify Wrapped was spectacular, with a new feature and variety of artists. Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoyed our Spotify Wrapped article!
