Spotify’s push into podcasts continues today with the launch of a new, 10-episode original series, “The Decade Wrapped,” that taps into insights and data from Spotify’s year-end Wrapped campaign to inform its episodes. Wrapped, of course, is Spotify’s annual look back at the biggest music trends during the year — or in 2019’s case, the decade — but personalized to individual users. “The Decade Wrapped,” however, pulls from the aggregate data Spotify has on what its users like to stream.
The topics for the new podcast include artists like Drake, Nicki Minaj, One Direction, Beyoncé, as well as other big trends, like Harlem Shake and “Despacito,” among others. These were chosen because of how much Spotify’s users were streaming these artists and songs throughout the years.
