spotify rewrapped

Spotify ReWrapped is a personal data investigation into whether Spotify's end-of-year Wrapped summaries are actually accurate. Spoiler: mine wasn’t.


I pulled my own listening data using both the Spotify and Last.fm APIs and ran a full time series analysis to compare what I’d actually heard versus what Spotify claimed.


Turns out, they had missed out on some of my top artists — and added a few that didn’t match the data at all.


This project uses:

  • Spotipy and Pylast for collecting listening history
  • Pandas, Matplotlib and Seaborn for analysis and visualization
  • Charts and visuals to explore musical habits over time

It was a fun reminder that personal data ≠ insight — unless you're willing to ask the right questions. Full story is on medium.
