YouTube will be introducing seasonal recaps of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, and artists to YouTube Music. The Spring Recap is the first.

YouTube launched a Spotify Wrapped-style annual summary at the end last year. But now YouTube owner Google has added seasonal rundowns to the mix.

"As with the 2021 Recap you will find your personal content on the Spring Recap landingpage on YouTube Music, along with your Spring Recap playlist."

A blog post was written by Ayshaw Khan, YouTube product manager. Want to share your Spring favorites with your friends?

Simply tap the arrow to the bottom of your stats cards and share your Spring Recap playlist or stats.

Spotify's annual recaps are usually released on a few days each year. It's always a delight to observe who listened to what music the most.

YouTube seems to be trying to make this shared experience more common.
