Spotify wants to help you ring in 2023 with its New Year's Hub

Spotify has launched a New Year's Hub to help its users ring in 2023, the streaming service announced Thursday. The company says the one-stop destination gives users access to classic party playlists and special covers from artists like Charli XCX, Rita Ora, N-Dubz, and Celine Dion.

"We've got plenty of music to get your celebration started, and it's all in our freshly launched New Years hub," Spotify wrote in a blog post. "Whether you want a low-key night out or a heart-pounding dance fest, we've got you covered with featured playlists to match the vibe you're broadcasting."

The New Year's hub includes many catchy playlists, including 'Party Hits', 'Afro Party Anthems', 'Get Turnt' and many more. On the other hand, there are also playlists for people who want to have a low-key New Year's Eve, with playlists like "Chill Hits", "Comfort Zone" and "Chillout Lounge". The New Year's Hub also includes many DJ mixes from artists like Tiësto, Hannah Laing and Benny Benassi.

The company also announced that starting January 1, users will find content to help them set their resolutions on the app's home page. While Spotify didn't provide details on what this content will look like, it will likely include things like workout and meditation playlists.

Spotify says its platform still sees a certain level of anticipation around the new year, and it shows in the playlists users have created. Last year, 82,000 New Year's playlists were created between Christmas and January 31, with nearly 40,000 created on the same evening. Pop, hip-hop, trap, k-pop and indie pop were the most played genres in the world. The genres that have seen the most significant increases in listeners are cumbia, discofox, volksmusik, schlager and partyschlager.

“Hey Ya!”, “Uptown Funk” and “Mr. Brightside” were all popular among these playlists. by Mariah Carey of "Auld Lang Syne - The New Year's Anthem" and ABBA's "Happy New Year," which led with a 2,205% increase in plays.
