Based on the selections, Spotify will create a mix for the artists to find the perfect dinner party mood. Then, there’s the Dream Dinner Party, which allows you to choose a trio of musical dinner party guests. (Although I’m not sure I remember who Paul Williams is I hope he’s upbeat.)

For instance, I am a Taylor Swift sun, a Damien Rice moon, and a Paul Williams rising. It’s made up of a sun sign, otherwise known as the artist you listened to most in the last six months a moon sign, an artist that shows off your emotional or vulnerable side and a rising sign, which features an artist you recently started listening to. But, generally speaking, it is hilarious if not marginally endearing.įirst, there’s the Audio Birth Chart, which is a cosmic examination of our listening habits. The feature, like its end-of-year sibling, is the kind of thing that takes what we already know about our weird, eclectic, or straight-up embarrassing musical choices and calls it out in a pretty big way. Spotify’s Only You feature explores just that it looks at what makes each of our musical choices and patterns unique to us, using a trio of methods. No two people listen to music in the exact same way. Or, for better or worse, make us feel very, very seen.

(“Did I really listen to “5, 6, 7, 8″ that much?” I ask myself every year as the Steps song graces the upper echelon of my Most Streamed Songs playlist.) And now, as a little mid-year surprise, Spotify has launched yet another feature that’s going to rock our musical worlds.

The audio streaming platform’s now infamous end-of-year Wrapped playlists, which reveal the soundtrack of our previous year, inspires a mix of excitement and dread. What started as a little joke in my family has spiraled into a major cornerstone of my musical personality… at least according to Spotify. I know I’ve been listening to a lot of Three Dog Night this year.
