Explore the latest developments concerning Reclaim Your Wrapped:.
Parents love using Spotify to play music for their families. But parents don’t always share the same taste as their young children—and playing music for your kids shouldn’t have to affect your own recommendations. (If your Wrapped is full of the singing princesses you played for the family, you know what we’re talking about.)
Starting today, we’re rolling out a new toggle in your settings that lets you exclude kids and family music from your taste profile, so those streams no longer shape your recommendations. This includes, for example, the songs you play on repeat from your kids’ favorite animated movies, theme songs from family TV shows, nursery rhymes, and more.
The platform has a new setting that won't let family listening sessions influence an account's insights or personalized recommendations.
If your Spotify Wrapped has been riddled with the Kidz Bop Kids and “Baby Shark,” Spotify has the solution.
Announced Tuesday (Sept. 15), the streaming service is rolling out a setting that allows parents and guardians to prevent music aimed at kids and families from influencing their personal taste profile. This means that those hours of animated-movie soundtracks, nursery rhymes and children’s TV theme songs can finally stop skewing their Spotify experience.
The new option is seemingly very useful for parents who use their personal Spotify account to entertain the whole family. Maybe you’ve spent the past year listening to the same children’s movie soundtrack on every road trip, or your kid has demanded a particular song approximately 700 times. Spotify can now distinguish between the music you’re playing because your child loves it and the music you actually want to hear yourself.
The end of Disney songs popping up in your Daily Mix.
Just because you have to listen to "Let It Go" for the zillionth time while driving your kids to school doesn't mean it should dominate your Spotify Wrapped. The streaming service is adding a new toggle option for users to exclude certain kids or family songs from affecting your music recommendations, like nursery rhymes, TV show theme songs or musical hits from animated movies.
Within the settings panel, there's now a new toggle labeled "Include kids and family music in taste profile" that will change what shows up in your Discovery Weekly, Daily Mix or Wrapped. Like the Explicit content switch, Spotify has a note that says it could "take up to 48 hours for these changes to be reflected in your personalized recommendations." However, activating the kid and family music toggle will also work retroactively, meaning that all the relevant music you listened to this year can still be wiped away from your annual Wrapped recap. The feature is available to both Free and Premium users.

Isaac Beacroft was not going to be told what to do in the men's 10,000m walk final.
Commentary legend Bruce McAvaney has expressed his disdain after two runners dove head-first for the finish-line in the 400m hurdles final at the Commonwealth Games on Friday night. It came just moments after Aussie teenager Isaac Beacroft scored a stunning gold medal in the 10,000m race walk for Australia's 55th of the Glasgow Games.
The 19-year-old Beacroft was involved in a tense battle with Stephen Kihu of Kenya, but eventually broke his rival with a pair of strong moves on the final lap. Speaking afterwards, Beacroft revealed how Kihu had been taunting him throughout the race to try and overtake.

August 11âs national census will for the first time include questions about sexual orientation, sex recorded at birth and gender
Self-professed âdata nerdâ April Long was excited to fill in their first census after welcoming their son, Kai, to the world. But as they opened the 2021 survey, they quickly realised it wasnât made for them.
It excluded Longâs role as a parent, made assumptions about their gender and asked where Kaiâs mother and father were born â when he has two mums.
Many ârainbow familiesâ echoed similar experiences of the census being unable to fully capture the LGBTQ+ community.
SBS acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and their connections and continuous care for the skies, lands and waterways throughout Australia.
The Census is run by the Australian government every five years — but Peter Doukas, chair of the Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia (FECCA), believes it's important to remember this questionnaire is strictly "apolitical".
Since 1911, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has conducted the Census of Population and Housing, regardless of the political party in power. Data collected is used to inform decisions around the funding and location of schools, transport and health care services.
Doukas told SBS News the Census also provides valuable information on the demographic makeup of multicultural communities.

For FPL managers who are returning to Fantasy Premier League, there is now be an option to get help when picking your initial squad through the website.

The hugely popular online game launched today for the forthcoming season.
You can sign up to FPL for free and begin putting together your team here, ahead of the campaign kicking off in August.
With the launch comes the confirmation of the values of the Reds squad, which are listed in full below.
Find out how players who make lots of tackles, blocks and recoveries are rewarded as defensive contribution remain in the game
The Scout explains what defensive contribution points are as they remain for 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League, and how they mean more points, more choice and more fun for managers.
Historically, attacking threat has often been the main consideration when picking outfield players in Fantasy.
That has even been the case when selecting defenders. Since clean sheets can disappear so quickly, the go-to options have often been offensive full-backs, while centre-backs have frequently been rated according to their ability to score goals from set-pieces rather than their main job of protecting their own penalty box.
