Top Spotify Wrapped Artist Just Another Reminder To Ex-CEO How Much He Fucked Up In 2025
“AW, YOU’VE got to be shitting me!”
The words of ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron as he absentmindedly opened an email link contained in a correspondence from Spotify notifying him of his annual Wrapped, prompting a splash of immersive graphics which excitedly told him his most listened to act of 2025 was Coldplay.
The news of his obsessive 2025 playing of the British four-piece sent him hurtling through memories he wished not to revisit.
“What the fuck?” the infamous executive added, as his top genres were listed as ‘Basic Bitch Rock’, ‘Infidelity’ and ‘Hookup’.
While the end of year rundown of listening habits is warmly greeted by many music obsessives, Byron is one man who thinks Spotify should cater to the individual’s respective life experiences, something some experts agree with.
“Maybe you were someone who was listening to Slipknot at the exact moment you fell off a cliff or you were jamming to Sabrina Carpenter when you got a break up text, Spotify users don’t need reminders of this,” explained music expert Paul Orton.
Elsewhere, former Spotify CEO Daniel Ek’s Wrapped made for interesting viewing as the Swedish native listened to over 400 hours of podcasts in the ‘tips on killing civilians with AI-assisted weapons technology’ genre.
