Discrepancies in Music Streaming Data

Many listeners experience discrepancies between their music listening habits and the information presented in their Spotify Wrapped playlists. For instance, one user compared their Spotify data with their tracking on Last.fm and found significant differences in the ranking of their most listened to songs. Songs by Peso Pluma and Charli XCX, reported as favorites, didn't match their personal listening history. This raises questions about how Spotify curates and possibly prioritizes certain artists within its playlists, hinting at a potential pop narrative that might not align with individual user experiences.
