It’s that time of year again: Spotify has blessed us with its yearly recap of our most-listened-to artists, songs and podcasts. It’s a day the Twitterverse loves to celebrate — what better way to show off your good, cultured taste in music?
If you’re a parent, blessed isn’t quite the word you’re looking for — it’s more like trolled. Yes, Daniel Tiger will make an appearance. “Baby Shark” too, undoubtably. Is white noise on there? What a lovely way to remember the hours you spent trying to get your newborn to sleep. Thanks a lot, Spotify!
Below, the funny moms and dads of Twitter sum up the perils of Spotify Wrapped when you’re a parent.
My Spotify Wrapped is trying to tell me my number 1 streamed song is Baby Shark. Yes I’m absolutely livid and yes I’m deducting the cost of my Spotify membership from my son’s Christmas present.

Ugh. I need to get my kid a separate Spotify account. He’s warping my Spotify Wrapped. pic.twitter.com/XjPuLGOJKx

I don't need Spotify Wrapped to tell me my top songs are all bangers from Daniel Tiger.

My top podcast was the Colic Baby White Noise episode, if that’s any indication as to what 2021 has been like … #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/OG6ZT5rgTK

My Spotify Wrapped is almost exclusively the soundtrack from the Trolls Movie because how else would I ever get two kids to go anywhere in the car.

It's also much better than most of yours, so I win, yet again.
Canceled my Spotify just in time to avoid this whole wrapped situation. Don’t need their snarky AI telling me how many times I listened to the Frozen soundtrack this year cause guess what mfer I know how many times I listened to the frozen soundtrack this year let it go

My spotify wrapped is nothing but songs for my kids. Shocked to see Baby Shark was not #1.

Biggest upset of the year.
Spotify Wrapped is a lot less cool when you have a child and your top 5 songs are all from the Frozen 2 soundtrack. Moana was making a hard push to get onto the list but I think Elsa and Anna built up too much of a lead early in the year.

My Spotify Wrapped: The Jungle Book, Frozen, and Moana soundtracks, and one Nine Inch Nails song. Bangers every one.

Could I please have ONE year where the kids don’t taint my #SpotifyWrapped top songs list? pic.twitter.com/9ruNUHWsu5

It’s that time of year where my Spotify Wrapped shows me that—against my own wishes—the songs I listened to the most were from Frozen…
