What song were you super into in 2006? Was it the Fray’s “How to Save a Life,” the Black Eyed Peas’ “My Humps,” Bon Jovi’s “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” or, say, any song from the first season of Hannah Montana? How many times in a row did you play that song? Do you really want to remember? Well, now you can, since a new feature on Spotify allows users who feel secure enough in their taste in music to dive deep into their personal stats, going back to when the platform launched 20 years ago. Fortuitously, it also shows users how their musical interests have (hopefully) improved since then.

If you want to take a walk down memory lane, you can check out “Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)” in the app. In addition to revealing a playlist of your top 120 all-time most-played songs, it will show your all-time most-streamed artist, it will tell you the day you joined Spotify, the total number of unique songs you listened to, and the first song you felt worthy of hitting play on. And of course, you’ll get the requisite recap image to post to Instagram.

To access it, you can search “Spotify 20” or the clunkier “Party of the Year(s)” or just visit Spotify’s bespoke website for the feature on your mobile device.

Spotify product manager Axel Ulfson clarified the difference between Wrapped and Party of the Year(s) at a press event, according to Billboard, saying that Wrapped “reflects a single year in culture and listening,” while the new feature displays “the full listener journey from the moment they joined Spotify.” So look back … if you dare.

If you’ve been anywhere near Punjabi music over the last few years, you’ve already heard Ikky’s work. The Toronto-born producer, Ikwinder Singh, has been behind some of the records that pushed the sound well beyond its core audience — from Shubh’s “Baller” to his long-running collaboration with Karan Aujla across Making Memories and P-Pop Culture, along with crossover records like “Tell Me” with OneRepublic.

What’s changed over time isn’t just the scale, but where the music is landing. His records are now moving between Punjabi audiences and global pop spaces without feeling like they’ve been reworked to fit either. That comes from how he’s built his sound — rooted in Punjabi music, but shaped by growing up in Toronto, where those influences naturally overlap.

Born in Zimbabwe and raised across cities like London, New York and Toronto before eventually settling in Calgary, Kuzi Cee doesn’t come from one fixed scene—and you can hear that in the music. His approach to R&B feels shaped by movement: different cities, different influences, all landing in one place.

Over the past couple of years, he’s been building steady momentum, first catching attention online with early snippets of ‘Rather Be,’ a track that went on to pick up millions of streams and views across platforms. That moment translated offline too—festival slots, opening sets, and a growing audience that’s been following him from social media into real rooms. He’s shared stages with artists like Mario, Nelly and Ashanti, while also performing at spaces like the Calgary Stampede, slowly building a live presence to match the online buzz.

Before the music started landing, Cameron Whitcomb was back home in Nanaimo, B.C., figuring things out as he went. His run on American Idol in 2022 put him in front of a bigger audience, but it didn’t immediately translate into a clear next step. What followed was slower — writing, releasing, and building a connection online through songs that felt direct and unfiltered.

That’s the space his 2025 album The Hard Way comes from. The project is built to play straight through — concise, intentional, and rooted in his own experiences, including addiction and recovery. It moves across folk, country and alternative, but never really settles into one, which lines up with how he approaches writing in the first place.

Ruby Waters

Ontarian singer-songwriter Ruby Waters has built momentum in a way that feels increasingly rare: through constant motion, word of mouth, and live shows that turn songs into something sweatier, louder, and less fixed than their recorded forms. While streaming and social media helped widen the audience, Waters’ music still carries the energy of someone figuring things out in real time, letting instinct outrun polish.

Her songs move easily between rock, pop, folk, and something harder to pin down, but genre rarely feels like the point. There is looseness in the writing, chaos in the delivery, and a refusal to flatten personality into something easier to package. Even as her audience has grown, Waters continues to make music that feels emotionally immediate, sometimes messy, and entirely uninterested in sanding itself down for mass approval.

Dylan Sinclair has been building this story in public for a while. He first emerged as a teenager with Red Like Crimson in 2018, and every release since has pushed things forward without breaking the thread. Proverb in 2020 brought his first JUNO nomination, No Longer in the Suburbs in 2022 landed on the Polaris longlist, and FOR THE BOY IN ME in 2024 marked another step forward, both in how the music sounds and in how clearly he seems to know himself.

What makes his run interesting is that it has never really depended on one big spike. The growth has been steady, the audience has stayed, and the work has kept sharpening. By 2025, that started showing up on a bigger scale too, from Black Music Month work with Amazon Music and Leon Thomas to a sold-out hometown show at The Danforth Music Hall and an international run across Europe.
