The time is almost here: Spotify is getting ready to release its yearly Wrapped, which are customized audio summaries of customers’ listening preferences throughout the year.
Since 2016, Spotify has provided its users with data breakdowns. Additionally, it has grown in size and popularity online every year. In terms of audience reach and the type of data it offered, Spotify claimed that its 2023 Wrapped was the largest ever produced.
What can we expect in 2024? Here are some things to be aware of before this year’s Spotify Wrapped.
What exactly is Spotify Wrapped?
It is an annual summary of global and personal listening patterns provided by the streaming service. Through a single interactive presentation, users may discover their favorite musicians, songs, genres, albums, and podcasts.
People share and compare their Wrapped data with their friends and followers on social media, making the campaign a social media sensation.
Previous versions have given users access to a variety of data and breakdowns, such as whether they are one of the top listeners of a particular artist and a customized playlist of their top 100 songs from that year, which they can keep, share, and play anytime they’re feeling sentimental.
Spotify also curates a number of playlists with the most streamed artists and songs, reflecting both national and international listening trends. Taylor Swift surpassed Bad Bunny, who had held the top spot for three consecutive years, to become the most streamed artist on Spotify in 2023.
There’s something fresh every year. A breakdown of user streaming trends for the full decade was featured in Wrapped in 2019. Spotify paired users with a Sound Town last year based on their musical preferences and how they compared to people in other countries.
When is the expected release date?
Wrapped’s eagerly awaited release date has been kept under wraps by the streaming service thus far.
It has previously been made available after Thanksgiving, from November 30 to December 6.
Social media is rife with rumors every year about when Spotify would cease gathering data to create their Wrapped findings, and this year was no different. Those assumptions were swiftly dispelled by Spotify, which posted on social media that Spotify Wrapped continues to count after October 31st.
When asked when Spotify will stop recording data for Wrapped, a Spotify representative did not reply.
Where can I find my Spotify Wrapped?
Each user will be prompted to view their interactive data roundup through their Spotify account when Wrapped is available. You can access it by going to the Spotify website or by using the Spotify mobile app. Both users with and without Premium subscriptions can access Wrapped.
What else can I learn with my Spotify data?
You can link your Spotify account to a few third-party websites that will examine your Wrapped data.

What if I don t have Spotify?
In subsequent years, several well-known streaming services like YouTube Music and Apple Music have created their own versions of Wrapped.
In addition to providing users with a year-end summary of their listening patterns, Apple Music’s Replay also offers monthly summaries, which sets it apart from Spotify’s one-time recap. At the conclusion of the year, that is released.
In contrast, YouTube Music offers its subscribers a similar year-end release in addition to sporadic seasonal releases all year long. Earlier this month, it made its yearly Recap available to users.
