Bucking an Old wrap
Manila Bulletin
|December 9, 2025
I'm getting old. I think. At least that’s how I see it after checking my Spotify Wrapped for 2025. You know, the annual music summary gimmick from Spotify for its users that’s based on your algorithmic use of the platform.
Spotify tracks your listening habits, as in it says how much time you used their app, what kind of music you listen to and gamifies all their collected data to make it more fun and not make it feel creepy that you’re being tracked by its artificial intelligence. It even asks you to share it all in a post.
I digress. Anyway, back to feeling old. I just thought I just might be a tad, when it turned out my Top Artist for the year is a 67-year old mod pop rocker. Spotify Wrapped: “Paul Weller is your top artist. You spent 708 minutes with them, which makes you a top 0.3% global fan.”
