      Thats interesting. My lastfm and Spotify wrapped are basically identical. Every top song and artist are in the same order.

      i checked my stats.fm top 2023 artists vs wrapped, and i’m seeing the same inaccuracies that you mention. my wrapped artists were:

      • Artist A
      • Artist B
      • Artist C
      • Artist D
      • Artist E (not on top 5 on stats.fm)

      while on stats.fm, it shows:

      • Artist A
      • Artist D
      • Artist B
      • Artist F (not on top 5 for wrapped)
      • Artist C
      • Artist E

      i think that spotify is definitely strategic with placing certain artists in certain positions. for example, “Artist F” probably was in top 5 last year as well (and is a successful but less-well-known artist), but went unlisted on wrapped this year and was replaced by Artist C, a global top 200 artist. and it worked - i had not listened to Artist C in a while, and when i saw my wrapped results, i started listening to them again.
