Taylor Swift's Era evolution from country star to global icon

Global streaming giant Spotify has released its annual results to users which give them a personalised wrap list of who they listened to the most in the past year – and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was roasted online after he shared his.

The end-of-year campaign known as Spotify Wrapped is a big hit with users looking to reflect on what dominated their playlists in the 12-month period, typically divided into categories such as the Top Tracks, Top Artists and Top Genres.

Albanese shared his list on X on Thursday morning, showing his Top Songs as Australia by G Flip, Letting Go by Angie McMahon, Still Have Room by Hockey Dad, Pedestal by Lime Cordiale and Get Me Out by Stingray – and the internet had thoughts.

“No one gives a frig what’s on your Spotify list. What they want to hear is what you are actually doing to bring the cost of living issues down and what you are doing with the housing affordability crisis,” read one brutal comment under his post. And on they went:

“Your taste in music is almost as trashy as your leadership.”

“No one cares. Do your job.”

“The country is f***ed & your tweeting about Spotify #priorities.”

“WTF? my electricity bill just went up 20% this morning and you’re show me this !!”
