Everyone (secretly) looks forward to the time of year when Spotify unveils its ‘Wrapped’ lists, where you discover the songs that summed up your year. This time, the music streaming platform has dragged a semblance of this experience right to the middle of the year with personal playlists that “celebrate your unique listening style.”

The new ‘Only You’ feature generates playlists that Spotify’s algorithm thinks you might have on repeat. Although your home screen already recommends playlists for listeners like you, this version takes things further by making playlists based completely on your listening habits.

The tool narrows down suitable tracks to six different groups. There’s your ‘Dream Dinner Party’, which creates a mix based on three artists you’d like to invite to a dinner party; ‘Artist Pairs’, which displays unexpected music genres that you’ve recently listened to; your ‘Song Year’, which draws the time periods you tend towards; your ‘Time of Day’, which shows you the music and podcasts you listen to at various times of the day; and ‘Genres/Topics’, which puts your unique music and podcast genres together.

A pretty interesting feature is the ‘Audio Birth Chart’, where you’ll uncover your supposed Sun, Moon, and Rising signs in terms of artists on Spotify. Your Sun sign is manifested from the artist whose music you have been listening to in the last six months, your Moon sign illustrates your emotional side, and your Rising sign is determined from an artist you were recently connected with.

As usual, Spotify highlights your listening habits in Story-style visuals that you can share on your own social media accounts, too.
