Today (November 30), Spotify launched its anticipated annual Wrapped event, where it shares data of its platform’s most-streamed artists, songs, albums and podcasts – and allows users to have a look at their own listening statistics for the year.

As the fifth most-streamed artist globally, behind Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift and others, BTS emerged the most-streamed K-pop artist globally. The top four on that list – BTS, BLACKPINK, TWICE and Stray Kids – remain unchanged from 2021. However, the fifth spot this year was taken by SEVENTEEN, while last year it went to Tomorrow X Together.

Spotify users can get their Spotify Wrapped now in the streaming service’s iOS and Android apps on the 2022 Wrapped hub. Users must have the most up-to-date version of the app installed. This year Spotify Wrapped has a feature called Your Listening Personality which analyses your listening habits and tells you what it means for your music taste.
