My Spotify Wrapped: Talking About My Top Artist

Every December, millions share their year-in-music — and your students can too. This B1-level ESL lesson uses the Spotify Wrapped trend to spark discussion about music genres, moods, listening habits, and favorite artists. Teens and adults work with vocabulary such as solo artist, band, duo, viral hit, and monthly listeners while comparing trends and describing top performers. Speaking and music-focused tasks support fluency, clear descriptions, and engaging real-life communication.
