Spotify unveils its 2022 Wrapped campaign with a personalized experience for listeners around the world

 

 It’s that time of the year again when social media are filled with Wrapped results! Today, Spotify unveils its 2022 Wrapped campaign with a personalized experience for listeners around the world. Wrapped unveils how 456 million Spotify users listened to the audio in their own unique way this year. Starting today, eligible users can also access their personalized 2022 Wrapped experience exclusively in their updated Spotify mobile app (iOS and Android). 

 

Spotify takes Wrapped 2022 beyond just top artists, genres, songs, podcasts and minutes listened. As this year is about self-expression and play, Spotify also improves data-driven stories and editorially-curated playlists. Here are the exciting features and updates to look out for from Wrapped 2022:

 

●      Your Listening Personality is a new feature that not only tells you about the music you listen to but what that says about your music taste. Fans will learn which of 16 different Spotify-created Listening Personality types they are, based on their 2022 listening trends.

 

●      Additionally, there’s also Audio Day, an interactive story that gives you a peek into how your music taste evolves throughout the day. From the sun rising to the time when night descends, take a look at how you seize the day and embrace the night.

●      This year, Spotify expanded to include messages from more than 40,000 artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, J Balvin, Måneskin, and more. With Your Artist Messages, eligible fans will get a personalized video feed with thank you messages from some of their top artists in 2022, with each video followed up by your most-listened song from that artist this year. 

 

●      Share more! Fans can now share their Wrapped cards on Instagram and Facebook, along with custom Wrapped-themed GIFs.

 

●      Spotify Camp Nou Takeover: As a part of the first-of-its-kind partnership between Spotify and FC Barcelona, fans can also find 2022 Wrapped videos on social from some of their favorite players, including Robert Lewandowski, Alexia Putellas, Pedri, and Ansu Fati.

●      Taking Wrapped into Roblox: To celebrate Wrapped and the artists that soundtracked the year, we’ll be taking over the Spotify Island mainland with Wrapped-inspired quests, games, virtual merch, and photo booth opportunities with 12 different artists including: Bizarrap, Black Sherif, CRO, Doechii, Eslabon Armado, Miranda Lambert, NIKI, Stray Kids, SUNMI and Tove Lo. 

 

●      Spotify is also bringing Wrapped Playground to the Philippines: Between 10-11 December, Filipinos are invited to come to play at SM Mall of Asia (MoA). Experience different exciting activities and catch none other than BINI and BGYO! 

 

Together with these personalized features, Spotify also announces the top artists, albums, songs, playlists, and podcasts that showcase the vibrant kaleidoscope of millions of listeners around the world. Closer to home, Filipinos are taking their Wrapped results local.  

 

Outranking global hits, NOBITA’s Ikaw Lang is the most streamed track in the Philippines, followed by  Arthur Nery’s Pagsamo(#2), Adie’s Paraluman (#3), Zack Tabudlo’s Pano (#4) and Arthur Nery’s Isa lang (#5). Listeners are feeling all the hugot this year, where Pinoy love songs take center stage, even beating out Troye Sivan’s Angel Baby (#6) and Justin Bieber’s Ghost (#11).

 

Clinching five out of the top ten spots in this year’s Top Artists are Pinoys, and breaking through the list is Zack Tabudlo, who secured the #3 spot and emerged as this year’s Top Local Artist. Pulling listeners into his own cinematic universe, Tabudlo’s cathartic “Episode” album is also the second most streamed album in the country. Ben&Ben proved themselves to be a mainstay among the local favorites as they maintained their fourth place from 2021 and kept a spot in the top list for the fourth consecutive year.

 

Meanwhile, Spotify’s RADAR program, an initiative to support emerging artists, has enabled new local artists and tracks to be added to the daily soundtrack of Filipinos' lives. Other emerging artists like P-Pop groups, BGYO and BINI, are among the Top RADAR Philippines Artists, alongside Adie.

 

For the podcast category, it has been another stellar year as Spotify continued to launch Exclusive and Original content with a slate of Filipino podcasting talent. Pinoy creators reign in this year’s Top Podcasts. Intimate sharing of life stories and advice are a hit amongst Filipinos with Barangay Love Stories, Spotify Exclusive skypodcast, Dear MOR: The Podcast, and Spotify Original Hugot Marcelo taking up the top four spots. Comedic conversations also resonate amongst locals with Spotify Exclusive Punchline with Alex Calleja taking up the fifth spot.

Habitat for Humanity Philippines launches Christmas campaign

 This season of giving, Habitat for Humanity Philippines urges every Juan to celebrate a purposeful holiday and spark hope by helping build decent, affordable, and disaster-resilient homes and improving the lives of low-income Filipino families.

 

Launching its Christmas campaign called “Pasko sa Bahay ni Juan,” Habitat Philippines encourages Filipinos to start a tradition of giving back and help build resilient, sustainable communities by supporting programs for housing, community development, disaster response, hygiene promotion, and youth and volunteer engagement.

 

“Habitat Philippines has always believed that there’s strength in numbers to help build homes, communities, and hope. Through ‘Pasko sa Bahay ni Juan,’ we hope to become an avenue for each individual to begin a tradition of providing endless opportunities for less privileged families by helping build a decent home. Every Juan can start a ripple of impact. The spirit of giving back is strong during this time of the year, but the impact we can make and the hope we can give to a family in need of a decent home goes beyond the holiday season.  It all begins with everyone’s contribution and efforts. When we inspire more people to give, together, we can transform more lives,” said Habitat Philippines CEO Mardi Mapa-Suplido.

As part of its Christmas campaign, Habitat Philippines initiates partnerships with various corporations and establishments frequently visited by the public this holiday season. This includes corporations, malls, hotels, business process outsourcing agencies, and other companies with the goal to raise awareness of the housing need and encourage individuals to sign up as donors, helping less privileged Filipino families improve their access to safe, decent housing.

 

To make gift-giving more meaningful and extra-special, Habitat Philippines has also thoughtfully curated its annual Christmas catalog that features donation vouchers equivalent to materials that can help build a home, Christmas baskets for families, a ‘Gift of Hope’ Certificate in honor of a loved one, and gift items that will help improve the livelihood of homeowners in Habitat communities. 

 

Habitat Philippines’ advocates and shelter champions Binibining Pilipinas International 2022 Nicole Borromeo and young entrepreneur Jardin Wong also show their support for the Pasko sa Bahay ni Juan Christmas campaign by sharing their own advocacies and experiences.

 

Borromeo, who joined volunteer activities in September to help repair homes at the Humanity Ville community in Calauan, Laguna, recalled her community immersion experience. “My experience going to Habitat’s community in Calauan, Laguna felt very fulfilling to me. I did not only get to help with gardening, improving the playground, and even upgrading the hall, but I also got to witness firsthand how the community came together because they saw the value of taking pride and care of the place they call home. I really learned the value of commitment. When people come together, especially for an incredible cause, we can create ripples of impact that can truly transform and uplift lives.”

 

Wong, who mobilized a donation of over Php2 million during his birthday for a cause on September 3, also encouraged the public to support the campaign. “The festivities of the Christmas season bring forth excitement and vigor that reverberates throughout the country. Filipino families have continuously celebrated this occasion by exemplifying the tradition of giving and charity. Habitat Philippines’ ‘Pasko sa Bahay ni Juan’ campaign celebrates this longstanding custom and expounds on the idea of a perfect gift - one anchored on the dream for every Filipino household to have access to safe and decent homes.”

 

Empowering families, mobilizing donors, volunteers for every Juan

 

A decent home provides safety and security for a family. For Charlito Rasonable, one of the 80 homeowners in the recently completed Paknaan Housing Project in Mandaue City, Cebu, having their own home has been his lifelong dream. Before the relocation, his family lived along the river in Subangdaku. As informal settlers, they experienced multiple demolitions and forced evictions, transferring from one inadequate house to another and fearing for their safety. So, when the Paknaan Housing Project came to fruition, Rasonable was overjoyed that he would finally have a decent home in a safe community – a treasure he could give his daughter.

 

“When you have a house like this, you have peace of mind. Even though I’m at work and my child is at home, I am relieved that she is safe and secure, unlike when we used to live in a danger zone. I would get anxious whenever I heard the fire truck’s siren from my workplace. I was worried about the fire because my daughter was alone. Here, I am assured that she’s safe,” said Rasonable, adding, “It is every parent’s dream to have a decent home for the family. I came from a difficult life with nothing, so I aspired and strived for it. This is it! My dream became possible!”

 

Rasonable is just one of over 150,000 families that Habitat Philippines has supported through its housing and community development programs, which the “Bahay ni Juan” campaign aims to sustain further. “Bahay ni Juan” is Habitat Philippines’ individual giving campaign launched in July. It recognizes the capacity of individual donors to contribute to the sustainability of its  Resilient, Inclusive, Sustainable, and Empowered (RISE) Communities Program, which uses a holistic, comprehensive approach to uplift the lives of Filipino families through decent housing.

 

Drawing inspiration from “Bahay ni Juan,” the Christmas campaign aims to engage more people to be part of the #JuanCrew – a community of givers that support, advocate, and contribute to helping build decent homes and sustainable communities for less privileged Filipino families.

 

To empower its current donors and encourage their network to create a lasting impact, Habitat Philippines will soon roll out a donor-incentive scheme that includes merchandise and referral rewards, among others, as tokens of appreciation for their contribution to the campaign. Donors will also get an opportunity to be part of volunteer engagement activities and immerse with the homeowners in Habitat communities.

 

Building a legacy through Bahay ni Juan

 

Inspired by Habitat Philippines’ call to build a legacy by helping provide a livable home for every Juan, architect and entrepreneur Charm de Leon pledged to support the Bahay ni Juan campaign and encouraged her followers to do the same. In her social media post, Charm explained to her supporters how to donate and what their donation could do to help build a home.

 

While grateful for their own home, Millennial Couple reminds their followers that not every Filipino has the privilege of having decent shelter. For their anniversary this year, Franchezka and Kenneth de Guzman also pledged to help fund the construction of homes for low-income families.

 

This holiday season, give the gift of hope and make a lasting impact. Be part of the #JuanCrew by helping build safe, decent homes for Filipino families. Donate to Habitat Philippines’ Bahay ni Juan campaign today: https://www.habitat.org.ph/bahaynijuan/
