It's been 20 years since Spotify first graced our phone screens, and the music streaming app has come leaps and bounds since.The brand celebrated its 20th anniversary just over a week ago, and as a 'thank you for listening,' it dropped a free gift for those on Premium and Free plans. Your Party of the Year(s) popped up on our phones and we were able to see stats even Spotify Wrapped didn't reveal. From your first song to the total minutes listened since you opened your account, Spotify's free update was full of surprises.Not all pleasant surprises, of course, because imagine my surprise when I found out that the first song I'd listened to on Spotify, back in 2018, was 'Love the Way You Lie' by Eminem and Rihanna... and I haven't played it on Spotify since then. Alongside some retro-fuelled graphics which some may argue were better than Spotify Wrapped's, Spotify also created a 'Your All-Time Top Songs' playlist for users to enjoy.I've been going through the playlist for the past week and it has surprised me in more ways than one. It's provided more insight into my listening history and patterns than Spotify Wrapped has ever managed to do. So, join me as I dissect my top songs of all time, and share what surprised me most (and what didn't).How does it work?
