Happy Spotify Wrapped day, when music-listening masses around the country have to come face-to-face with their habits, revealing the full spectrum of their go-to songs and artists throughout the previous 12 months.

You can access your personalized musical summary in the app—a survey that breaks down monthly habits, top streamed tracks and artists, popular podcasts and more—and then post the findings on your social media feeds for the world to see. But it's also fun to analyze your proclivities as compared to the rest of the country.

The platform has released its nationwide rankings right here, and the data is broken down even further on this online map that specifically looks at the most listened-to songs in various American cities—including Chicago, where Sabrina Carpenter reigns supreme.

The 25-year-old artist's hit "Espresso" tops our local list, followed by "Good Luck, Babe" by Chappell Roan and "Not Like Us" by Kendrick Lamar, who just announced he will be bringing his "Grand National Tour" alongside SZA to Chicago in 2025.

Whether a fan of the spotlighted music or not, it's definitely entertaining to analyze what the city has been listening to all year long.
