Spotify released its annual Wrapped feature on Wednesday, giving listeners a chance to review what songs, artists, podcasts and albums they frequently played throughout the year.

In a new gimmick this year, Spotify assigned users a specific “sound town” based on their listening habits. It caused quite a stir on social media, with many flagging their “sound towns” and expressing whether they were accurate.

And amid the conversation, three seemingly random locations emerged — Burlington, Vt., Cambridge, Mass., and Berkeley, Calif.

Those three towns ignited jokes on X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and Instagram, with some users suggesting that Spotify just picked them at random. Others wondered whether Spotify was working with local governments to promote tourism.

But those three cities were not so random, as Spotify’s official X account referenced them as well, saying, “hey besties” while tagging the cities’s official X accounts. (The city of Cambridge’s account responded to Spotify with “Hey Bestie” along with a GIF of a waving Taylor Swift, Spotify’s most streamed artist of the year).

So why were you assigned one of those towns? Well, according to Spotify, the “sound town” feature was created to show how listening habits are shared across different communities. The assigned town for each listener “has the most similar taste profile to their own,” a spokesperson for Spotify said in a statement. “It is objective and entirely driven by a user’s listening history.”

There are more than 1,300 cities possibilities among the “sound towns.” About 1 percent of all users got assigned either Burlington (0.6 percent), Berkeley (0.3 percent) or Cambridge (0.1 percent). Spotify did not say if those three cities were among the most popular across its user base.

“We’re having fun with this too,” said John Flanagan, communications director of Burlington’s arts department who spoke on behalf of the city’s mayor’s office.

Making music is an art that takes numerous hours, practice sessions, artists, instruments, and emotions. As listeners, we come to love these songs and artists, but often don't know the effort that goes in making the song - the passion, the hard work, the love, the pain. For our latest initiative we partner with over 35 artists across languages and genres to bring their hard work to front, so that our listeners truly feel connected to the songs in the best way possible. Watch the first story of the initiative, to enjoy the jhilmilaate raaste only Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy have travelled. Take a road trip with them and Spotify Premium to feel the countless efforts, undefeated passion, and never-dying love it takes to create music. This one really has my heart 💚 Great job by teams at Spotify, Leo Burnett, Lodestar UM. #feelthemusic #Spotifypremium #lifeatspotify #artists

Reviews for "Spotify's Music Mascot: A Reflection of Music's Power to Unite"

1. Ashley - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the Music mascot spotify app, but I was ultimately disappointed. The mascot itself was cute, but the app was incredibly glitchy. It would freeze often and the music would sometimes cut out randomly. I also found the interface to be difficult to navigate. Overall, it was a frustrating experience and I would not recommend this app.

2. Mark - 1 star - I don't understand the hype around Music mascot spotify. The mascot is just a gimmick and doesn't add anything to the Spotify experience. It feels like a distraction rather than something useful. Additionally, the app constantly lags and crashes. I would much rather have a reliable and efficient music streaming app without the unnecessary mascot.

3. Jessica - 2 stars - Music mascot spotify is not for me. I found the mascot to be annoying and distracting. It took away from the music listening experience rather than enhancing it. Moreover, I experienced frequent bugs and glitches while using the app. The constant freezing and crashes made it incredibly frustrating to use. I ended up switching back to the regular Spotify app for a smoother and more enjoyable music streaming experience.

4. Brian - 1 star - The Music mascot spotify app is a complete waste of time. The mascot adds nothing valuable to the app and the whole concept seems childish. Not to mention, the app is riddled with bugs and technical issues. It's extremely frustrating when the music suddenly stops playing or when the app crashes in the middle of a song. I expected better from Spotify, but this app just falls short in every aspect.

5. Megan - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Music mascot spotify, but it failed to meet my expectations. The mascot itself is cute, but it quickly becomes a nuisance and distracts from the main purpose of the app - music streaming. The app also lacks some basic features that are available in other music streaming apps. The constant glitches and crashes further made my experience with the app frustrating. I'll be sticking to the regular Spotify app for a better overall experience.
