Introduction

Spotify has a new feature called 'Your Party of the Year(s)'. It shows users the music they liked since they started their account.

Main Body

Spotify is 20 years old. This new tool is like 'Wrapped', but it looks at many years. It shows the first song you played. It shows your favorite artist and how many songs you heard. You also get a list of your top 120 songs. Spotify wants to celebrate the users, not the company. Marc Hazan works for Spotify. He says the users are important. People can share their music lists on social media. This shows other people what they like. Many teams worked for six months to make this. All users can use it. You can find it on the phone app or the website.

Conclusion

Users can now see how their taste in music changed over a long time.
