00:00This is genuinely the most basic card anyone is ever going to have on Spotify Wrapped.
00:04Yeah, mmm, this is gay.
00:06So now I have the envelope with the most listened to artist, song and album globally.
00:12Top artist of the year.
00:14I feel like it's probably Taylor Swift, even though I don't really want it to be.
00:18It will obviously be Taylor Swift.
00:20I'm closely tied with Billie Eilish, who I guess the girlies also like.
00:24I'm assuming it's going to be Taylor Swift. I can't see how it would be anyone else.
00:27I wouldn't want it to be, but it could be Taylor Swift.
00:29Top song of the year, maybe...
00:32Apple?
00:33Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. I feel like that song was everywhere.
00:36It's going to be something Sabrina Carpenter. Maybe Espresso.
00:40Album of the year... I'm going to say B.R.A.P, because I want it to be B.R.A.P.
00:44So I'm going to manifest it.
00:45Maybe Beyonce's album, her country album.
00:47B.R.A.P. by Charli XCX.
00:48Maybe Bob, Bob, Bolly Nosser.
00:50What's the Billie Eilish one called? Or Hit Me Hard, Soft.
00:54That one.
00:55OK, let's see.
00:56Oh! OK. Oh!
00:59Yeah, I was dead on. Taylor Swift, most streamed artist.
01:02Taylor Swift. Expected.
01:04Weirdly, The Weeknd underneath, I did not expect.
01:06Did he have a new album? I missed that.
01:08I think I was just too creeped out by The Idol.
01:11Oh, I was really right, actually.
01:12Espresso, most streamed song.
01:14Oh, my God, I got Espresso right.
01:16Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. I totally forgot about that.
01:19Album was Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department.
01:21And Beyonce was not even on that list, but we'll ignore that
01:24because I got the first two right, so it's amazing.
01:26Tortured Poets Department, that's what it's called.
01:29My review of that would be unengaging.
01:31I mean, I'm sad that B.R.A.P. isn't on here,
01:33but I'm also not surprised because I feel like Taylor Swift.
01:37She's just a curse.
01:38OK, so now I guess I'm going to open up and see
01:41what my most listened to artists are for this year.
01:44I actually do think this will be quite embarrassing for me.
01:47My predictions are that it's going to be really, really basic
01:49and it's not going to be cool whatsoever.
01:52OK, here we go.
01:53Let's see. Yeah.
01:55First one is Meghan Trainor.
01:56I wouldn't describe it as good music at all, but catchy.
02:00My first artist was Taylor Swift.
02:02Second was Ariana Grande.
02:04Third was Sabrina Carpenter.
02:05Fourth was Billie Eilish and fifth was Charli XCX.
02:08So it quite literally does not get any more basic than that.
02:10Three, Olivia Rodrigo.
02:12Now, I actually do have a real guilty soft spot for her,
02:15but again, I feel slightly embarrassed about...
02:18Actually, I feel really embarrassed about that.
02:19Yeah, nothing cool.
02:20Everything good, I will stand by that, but nothing cool.
