It’s that time of year. Your social media feed is flooded with colorful cards showing how many minutes your friends spent listening to Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, or Metallica.

You opened yours. You saw the number. "Top 0.5% of Listeners." "12,000 Minutes Streamed."

You felt a surge of pride. You are not just a fan; you are a superfan. You took a screenshot, posted it to your Story... and then what?

In 24 hours, that Story disappears. In a week, the hype fades. By January, you’ve forgotten the stats.

Your fandom deserves more than a temporary screenshot. This year, take that "Top Artist" data and turn it into a permanent physical shrine using Ticketrelic.

Here is how to "Real Life" your Wrapped stats.

1. The "Top Artist" Victory Lap (Frame the Ticket)

If you were in the top 1% of listeners for a band, you almost certainly went to see them live this year (or you tried to).

That concert was the peak moment of your "listening year."

• The Move: Don't just leave the data in the app. Create a Replica Ticket Stub for the show you attended this year.

• The Flex: Frame the ticket stub alongside a printout of your "Top 0.5%" stat card. It connects the digital effort (streaming) with the physical reward (the show).

• No Show? No Problem: Did you stream them endlessly but couldn't get tickets? Create a "Fantasy Ticket" for the Dream Tour. Set the location as "Your Living Room" or "Spotify Cloud." It’s a funny, cool way to acknowledge your dedication.

2. The "Top 5 Songs" Shadowbox

Spotify gives you your Top 5 Songs of the year. This is your life's soundtrack for the last 12 months.

• The Project: Create a "2025 Soundtrack" Shadowbox.

• The Ingredients:

  • 5 small replica ticket stubs (one for each artist in your Top 5).

  • Even if you didn't see them live, generate a "Commemorative Stub" with the Artist Name and "2025" as the date.

• The Result: A visual representation of your year in music. Hang it on the wall, and years from now, you’ll look at it and remember exactly who you were listening to during that breakup, that road trip, or that summer job.

3. The "Genre" Traveler (The Merch Play)

Did your Wrapped say your top genre was "Pop Punk" or "90s Country"? Lean into the aesthetic.

• Use Ticketrelic Merch to create a custom mug or phone case featuring a "Festival Lineup" style list of your top artists.

• It’s like creating your own personal festival poster, but printed on a hoodie you can wear all winter.

4. Gifts for the "Top Fan" in Your Life

This is the ultimate hack for Christmas shopping. Sneak a peek at your partner's or best friend's Wrapped or Apple Music Replay.

• Did they listen to Noah Kahan for 4,000 minutes?

• Did they binge-listen to the Hamilton soundtrack?

That is your gift guide right there. Don't buy them a generic gift card. Go to Ticketrelic, type in that artist's name, find a tour date from this year, and print a Replica Ticket on museum-grade cardstock.

• The Note: On the custom ticket note line, write: "Congrats on being in the Top 1%."

It proves you pay attention to what they love.

Why Physical Beats Digital

Data is cool. But data is cold. Holding a ticket stub in your hand brings the emotion back. It reminds you why you listened to those songs 500 times. It reminds you of the feeling of the bass in your chest and the lights in your eyes.

Your "Year in Music" was real. Your keepsakes should be too.
