AI Summary

short article 1 min

Spotify Wrapped 2025, the platform's annual analysis of user listening habits, reveals insights into Australian music, podcast, and audiobook preferences. The analysis includes metrics like top artists, listening time, and a user's "listening age," reflecting the diverse range of musical tastes. However, a key observation is the apparent underrepresentation of Australian content within the listening habits of Australian users. The report highlights a potential gap between the availability of local artists and their consumption on the platform. This trend raises questions about the visibility and discoverability of Australian creators on Spotify.
