MJ2’s Most Played Songs of the Year

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year: Spotify Wrapped season! Every year, Spotify rolls out their Wrapped feature, which offers their users a personalized analysis of their favorite songs and artists, minutes spent listening to music, and their listening habits for the year. Spotify even offers each user a specified playlist of their 100 Top Songs of the year. Wrapped has been an exciting feature for Spotify users since its beginning in 2016, resulting in many listeners sharing their results on various social media platforms.

We wanted to get in on the fun, and explore some of our staff’s top songs and listening habits of 2022. Here are our results:
