Olivia Rodrigo began to trend along with Spotify Wrapped, as her incredibly popular song “driver’s license” made the top songs globally during 2021, with her other hit song “good 4 u” making the fourth place. She was also a top artist, which many think is impressive as this was her debut album. Sour, the debut album in question, also was #1 as a top album in 2021.

Many were also discussing Taylor Swift, who was the most-streamed female artist of 2021. She has been in the top 4 since 2017 when it comes to being the most streamed female artist.
Fun Fact: Even if you remove the streams of "Fearless TV" and "Red TV", Taylor Swift would still be the #1 most streamed female artist of 2021 on Spotify. #SpotifyWrapped pic.twitter.com/G3trKLy1z0

Other people made jokes at Apple Music users’ expense, as people who do not use Spotify obviously do not get to join in on the fun and must watch from the sidelines.

Though parents are welcome to join the fun of course, some expressed that their music taste was skewed by their little one’s, and their top artists were “The Wiggles” and a top song of “Baby Shark.”
