Brand New reappearing on Spotify Wrapped lists after alleged removal
Last week, people were upset that Brand New was allegedly shadow-banned from Spotify users’ “Wrapped” statistics and playlists. Well now, without a word, it seems Spotify has added them back in.
Fans speculated that the alleged removal of Brand New was most likely due to their sexual misconduct issues back in 2017. Previously the only thing Spotify stated to users was that they “can’t comment” on the issue.

That’s better from r/brandnew
Since we can now share these and have them be accurate, here’s my top 5 with a runaway pick for #1 from r/brandnew
We do wonder if Spotify will put out an official statement regarding the initial removal in the first place. They might just sweep it under the rug.
