Artists react to Spotify Wrapped

We know the year is ending when music platforms (such as Spotify and Apple Music) issue out Spotify Wrapped and Replays.

This is when the platforms provide listeners of an overview of what they listened to, the top albums, songs and artists. Spotify also gives artists a chance to see their most listened to songs.

Yesterday, many social media users took to their Instagram accounts to share their Spotify Wrapped. While the listeners were excited to see how accurate the app was about their favourite artists being number one, the artists themselves were filled with gratitude and appreciation.

Songwriter and singer Pabi Cooper shared on her story that she received 1.9 million listeners and an overall 9.3 million streams in 180 countries.
