Heck, there's a self hosted app out there on GitHub (https://github.com/Yooooomi/your_spotify) that allows people to do this in house and I'd guess more real-time, so there's a demand for it out there. Spotify knows these things anyhow, they have to in order to calculate payments, so why not make it available.
I actually host this for myself and found out the same results as wrapped gave me between February and October this year.
Ooo this looks cool. If love to go deeper into my stats. Might do this at some point. Can you have multiple users at once by any chance?
