There's a new trendy way to analyze your Spotify data and this time it's not a pie or an iceberg, but an old school collage.
Spotify Rainbow Collage either displays the album covers of your top songs or the artist photos of your top artists depending on how you tailor it. In short, it's a way for social media fanatics to share a snapshot of their music taste.
What is Spotify Rainbow Collage?
Spotify Rainbow Collage analyzes your Spotify listening and allows you to customize a collage of your top songs or artists. You can choose the timespan you want the collage to represent and how many album covers to show on each axis — the largest collage option is nine by nine. It also allows you to pick how you want your top songs or artists organized. For those concerned with raw numbers you can sort it by play count, but the aesthetically moved can sort it by color or brightness.
These collages are the latest way to show off your music taste on social media with users flocking to Twitter to share their collages ... and judge other people's.
