Bumble updates Spotify feature to encourage musical compatibility

Bumble users who link their Spotify account will now be able to check out who's musically compatible with them. Daters can share their "Top Artists" with potential matches, and mutual faves are displayed at the top of someone's Bumble Date profile for easy connection.

The dating app has had Spotify integration capabilities since 2016, and it's a popular feature: A majority of U.S. users have linked their Spotify accounts to their profiles, according to Bumble's press release, with Gen Z adopting it more than older generations. Bumble users who have Spotify linked are even more likely to receive a right swipe than those who don't. In case you don't know how, here's how to link Spotify to your Bumble account.

"Despite the popular belief that opposites attract, research has consistently shown that having similarities in important areas, such as values and lifestyles, is actually the key to a successful romantic relationship," said Bumble's sex and relationships expert, Shan Boodram, in the press release.

"Discovering that you and a potential romantic partner love the same artist is a fun and fast way to establish common ground, plus it provides a natural segue to start other important conversations around each person's priorities and passions."

So, if you're looking for someone who shares your love for Harry Styles, BTS, or Beyoncé, it'll be easier to see who's on the same wavelength as you.

The new Spotify "Top Artists" integration rolls out globally today.
