It's the most glorious time of year for music lovers: Spotify Wrapped has just released its 2023 data, so you can reflect back on your year that was and what songs and artists you listened to the most.

All across your social media this morning you're probably seeing friends share their Spotify Wrapped data: it's likely Taylor Swift is dominating after Spotify revealed she was the most-streamed artist this year. Or perhaps, the Wrapped details are giving you a sneak peek into your mates' lives and psyche. Did they also listen to 57,500 minutes of 2000s emo bangers this year? Are they doing OK?

While we all listen to our carefully curated 2023 Wrapped playlists as though we've never heard the songs before in our lives, Spotify has revealed some interesting insights into Australia's listening habits.

While it's no surprise Taylor Swift took out Australia's most-streamed artist, and Miley Cyrus' banger 'Flowers' became the number one most-streamed track, it was the Aussie stats that have left people scratching their heads.
