New Jersey representative Josh Gottheimer recently shared his Spotify Wrapped results online, showing his top five songs all being by Bruce Springsteen. However, some viewers quickly noticed discrepancies in the font and spacing of the songs, leading to speculation that the results were fake. Gottheimer later admitted that he had doctored the results to exclude his children’s music preferences.
He clarified his actual top artists and songs on Spotify for 2024, with Springsteen still being his top artist. Other artists included Billy Joel, Drake, Travis Scott, and Taylor Swift. His top songs included Billy Joel’s ‘Turn The Lights Back On’ and Taylor Swift’s ‘Getaway Car’.
The 2024 edition of Spotify Wrapped allowed users to reflect on their listening habits from the past year, with other public figures like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter sharing their results as well. In the UK, Arctic Monkeys and Oasis were the top indie bands.
As for Bruce Springsteen, he had a successful 2024 with a world tour, appearances at Kamala Harris’ rallies, and dispelling rumors about his wealth. Gottheimer’s post may have been a lighthearted joke, but it sparked discussion about authenticity in online content. Despite the mix-up, Springsteen remains a beloved musician in New Jersey and beyond.
