In 2021, it's never been easier to find and listen to songs you love, whether it's a new chart-topper or a classic jam. And music lovers know that there are few things more fun than gushing to someone about your new musical obsessions.

That's what makes Spotify Wrapped so great. Wrapped is a feature that shows you a slideshow (or "story") of the songs and artists you've listened to the most over the past year, what new music you've discovered, and an exact count of how many minutes you spent listening to music. You also get a playlist with your 100 most listened to songs, along with some other goodies depending on the year.

Your Spotify Wrapped updates every December, and is easy to share on social media or with friends. Here's how to find this year's Spotify Wrapped story and playlist, as well as how to find your playlists from the past.

How to find your 2021 Spotify Wrapped story and playlists

Whenever a new Spotify Wrapped update drops, there's a good chance that you'll see a notification about it as soon as you open the app. But if you don't see it, here's how to find your Wrapped.

1. Open the Spotify app and tap the Your Wrapped is here box.

2. Your Wrapped story will open. Wrapped 2021 is 13 parts long, and includes your top songs, top artists, how many minutes you spent streaming, your "Audio Aura," and more. Tap the Share this story option at any point along the way to send the slide you're on to friends or social media.

3. When you get to the slide about the Your Top Songs 2021 playlist, tap Add to Your Library. This will save a playlist with your top 100 songs of the year, so you can open and listen to it at any time.

How to find your old Spotify Wrapped playlists

If you want to find your old Wrapped stories, you're out of luck — they're only available to view for a limited time. But you can see your old Wrapped playlists via the Spotify website.

Every Wrapped playlist gets saved to a specific URL, and opening that URL while you're logged into your Spotify account will show you your Wrapped playlists.

Important: Spotify doesn't create your Wrapped playlists automatically — it waits for you to go through the process we outlined above. If you can't find your Wrapped playlist for a specific year, it probably means that you didn't do it that year.

Head to the Spotify website and log into your account. Then open one of these links:

Weirdly, you can't find your Wrapped 2016 playlist at its own link — instead, you'll find it at the Wrapped 2019 link. Unfortunately, Wrapped 2015 don't seem to be around anymore.
