The new app can scan your Spotify playlists for the most popular tunes. This data is used to create a “dream festival lineup”.
You can also share your lineup with other users, and even a link for listening to each song, so that others may find new music.
Anthems is only currently available to those who have received an invitation. There’s a wait list for anyone interested in seeing their line-up.

Many initiatives have been started to increase music discovery or learn more about humanity through music.
Israeli researchers conducted experiments in order to determine if song selections could be related to curators, even though they didn’t know their musical tastes.
They found undergraduate students were able to identify others from three pieces of music – but the experts did not deduce how they did it.
Anthems can only be obtained by invitation. A waiting list is available for people who want to find out their potential lineup.
The findings are of concern because streaming giants could potentially identify anonymised users by listening habits, which ‘constitutes a significant threat to privacy disclosure’, they say.
Another study that analysed millions of Spotify tracks found that cheerful, energetic songs get people moving in the morning. Slower tracks work best before bedtime.
Spotify is a great friend who has enabled researchers to analyse more than two million songs and provide the best soundtrack.
Anthems currently has an early access phase. Users can only sign up for invites to join.
