Since 2016, Bumble members have been able to link their Spotify account to their profile. Now, dating apps are stepping up their integration. Launching today, the new “Top Artists” feature will pull artists from a user’s top 50 on Spotify, show the top 10 artists on their profile, and show potential matches to the top artists they have in common.

Users can only view artists in common if their Spotify account is integrated with potential matching artists. Additionally, if potential matches don’t have the same Top Her Artist as the user, the profile looks fine.

If a Bumble user wants to edit their Top 50, they can go to their profile editor and hide the top artists they don’t want to see. You can also opt out of new features by unlinking your Spotify account. So even if you listen to the “Muppet Show” soundtrack on repeat, there’s a way to keep it a secret.

The majority of users in the U.S. have their Spotify accounts linked to their profiles, with Gen Z adopting the feature more than any other generation, Bumble said in a statement. Additionally, users who have Spotify linked are more likely to receive right swipes.

For some, music may not be a deal breaker. However, it can also be difficult to find common ground with others if your musical tastes don’t match. How often do you see Swifty (Taylor Swift fans) holding hands with heavy metal fans? Let’s just say it’s probably rare. The Top Artists feature helps users identify common interests.

“Despite the popular belief that opposites are attracted to each other, there are similarities in key areas such as values ​​and lifestyles,” Bumble’s sex and relationship expert Shang Boudram said in a statement. “Studies consistently show that one thing is actually the key to a successful relationship.”

“Discovering that you and a potential romantic partner love the same artists is a fun and fast way to establish common ground. Plus, it’s important to know other important things about each person’s priorities and passions.” It provides a natural flow for starting meaningful conversations,” added Boudram.
