Choose which listening counts toward Wrapped
Spotify is pointing listeners toward controls that let them keep individual tracks, playlists, and kids and family music from shaping Wrapped, with the experience still to come (opens in a new tab). For anyone whose listening includes sleep sounds or an occasional song outside their usual tastes, the track and playlist exclusions also affect everyday recommendations.
- Controls
- Exclude individual tracks and playlists from your taste profile
- Listening history
- Track and playlist exclusions apply to past and future listening
- Family listening
- A separate toggle controls whether kids and family music shapes Wrapped and recommendations
The track and playlist setting covers listening that has already happened as well as future streams, according to Spotify. Listeners can reverse an exclusion by choosing the option to include that selection in their taste profile again. Ahead of Wrapped’s arrival, Spotify also recommends checking the app store on your device for an available Spotify app update.
Adjust the controls on your account
To exclude a track or playlist, open its three-dot menu and select the option that removes it from your taste profile. Spotify presents this control as a way to keep listening such as calming sleep sounds or a one-off selection from influencing the results.
Kids and family music has a dedicated toggle that determines whether those streams contribute to recommendations and Wrapped. Switching it off leaves that music available to search for and play, but the streams will no longer contribute to the songs or artists ranked at the top of your Wrapped.
On mobile, start by tapping your profile picture, then open Settings and privacy and choose Content and display. From there, turn off the toggle for including kids and family music in your taste profile.
