SPOTIFY users can finally unlock their Playlist in a Bottle – 12 months after they built it.
The musical time capsule gives listeners the chance to select songs they love in January, and seal them away until a year later.
“The interactive in-app experience is the perfect time capsule to remember and reflect on the music you loved and how your taste may have evolved over the past 365 days,” Spotify wrote in a blog post.
“If you’re one of the Spotify listeners who participated in January 2024, today is the day to unlock your “Playlist in a Bottle” from last year.”
Spotify introduced the hit-feature in 2023.
Each playlist is built by asking users a series of questions, such as: “A song you’d play for aliens if they visited Earth,” “A song you need to hear live in 2024” and “A song you’re going to kiss someone to this year.”.
The songs in answer to these questions are what form the capsule mixtape.
Users can even write a little message to their future selves.
“I just opened the Spotify Playlist in a Bottle feature and it made me laugh, cry, and smile. 10/10 feature,” one user wrote on X.
Another added: “I don’t remember doing this but my Spotify Playlist in a Bottle from 2024 was spot on either way.”
The feature managed to steal users’ hearts far more than the highly anticipated Wrapped—a roundup of listeners’ top songs, albums, and genres.
Although Spotify was accused of producing a “lazy” Wrapped theme last year, leaving many users disappointed.
“Spotify Playlist in a Bottle is [so much] better than Wrapped lmaoo,” a third user wrote.
A fourth user said: “The way Spotify’s Playlist in a Bottle ate up their whole Wrapped…”
A fifth added: “I just got my Playlist in a Bottle! I like this feature a lot more than Spotify Wrapped. It feels a lot more interactive!”
Spotify’s Playlist in a Bottle is available to both Spotify free and premium users.
To find it, simply visit spotify.com/playlistinabottle on your iPhone or Android device.
Next, click “Claim Your Playlist” to see which songs you sealed away in January 2024.
You can save and listen to your complete 2024 Playlist in a Bottle – although it’s important to note that you only have until 31 January to do this.
