How to get your Spotify musical birth chart and create a perfect Blend playlist with your bestie
Spotify #Spotify
Spotify’s new “Only You” feature uses your musical favorites to suggest which artists might represent your Sun sign (the artist you listened to over the last six months), Moon sign (artist that shows your emotional or vulnerable side), and Rising sign (an artist you’ve recently connected with).
Want to know your music birth chart? Spotify’s new “Only You” feature has you covered.
The streaming music service is still making you wait until near the end of the year for its Wrapped list of your most streamed songs and artists.
But it has a new interactive feature, launched Wednesday on Android and iOS devices, for highlighting your musical favorites by identifying unique pairings of artists you like and in other fun ways. You’ll also get a personalized playlist based on your music and you can share the results.
And if your music isn’t enough, a new Blend experience lets you merge your faves with that of a friend’s to create a new original playlist. Invite any friend who has a free or premium account and your new playlist will continually updated.

“Currently in beta, Blend is a new way for two friends to merge their musical tastes into one curated playlist made just for them,” the music service said in a blog post. “The feature is available globally and you can find the Blend beta experience in the ‘Made for Two’ shelf within the Only You hub.”
