December 3rd 2024.
It's that time of the year again - Spotify is getting ready to launch its annual Wrapped, a personalized recap of each user's listening habits and year in audio. This has been a tradition since 2016, and each year it has only gotten bigger and more popular, creating a buzz on the internet. Spotify has even declared its 2023 Wrapped as the "biggest ever created," in terms of reaching a wider audience and providing more extensive data than ever before. So, what can we expect from the upcoming 2024 Wrapped? Let's take a look at what we know so far.
First things first, what exactly is Spotify Wrapped? It's a yearly overview of individual listening trends, as well as global trends. Users can find out their top artists, songs, genres, albums, and even podcasts, all presented in an interactive and engaging way. This campaign has become a social media phenomenon, with people eagerly sharing and comparing their Wrapped data with friends and followers online. The previous editions have offered users a variety of breakdowns and facts, such as if they were one of an artist's top listeners, and a personalized playlist of their top 100 songs of the year to save and listen to whenever they feel nostalgic. Additionally, Spotify also creates playlists that reflect national and global listening trends, showcasing the most streamed artists and songs. In 2023, Taylor Swift was the most streamed artist on Spotify, dethroning Bad Bunny who had held the title for three consecutive years.
With each passing year, Spotify adds something new and exciting to the Wrapped experience. In 2019, they included a summary of users' streaming trends for the entire decade, while last year, they matched listeners to a Sound Town based on their artist preferences and how it aligned with others around the world.
Now, the question on everyone's mind - when will the 2024 Wrapped be released? As always, Spotify has been tight-lipped about the exact date, but based on past releases, we can expect it to be between November 30 and December 6. Rumors have been circulating on social media about when Spotify stops collecting data for Wrapped, but the company has reassured users that they keep counting even after October 31. We reached out to Spotify for comment, but they have not responded yet.
Once Wrapped is released, users can access their personalized data roundup through the Spotify app on their smartphones or by logging onto the website. The best part? It's available to both Premium and non-Premium subscribers.
But that's not all - there are also third-party sites that you can connect your Spotify account to for a more in-depth analysis of your Wrapped data. For example, How Bad is Your Spotify is an AI bot that judges your music taste, Receiptify gives you a shareable graphic of your top songs in the form of a receipt, Instafest creates a personalized music festival lineup based on your top artists, and How NPRCore Are You evaluates how similar your music taste is to NPR Music's.
Now, what if you don't have Spotify? Don't worry, other major streaming platforms like Apple Music and YouTube Music have their own versions of Wrapped. Apple Music's Replay not only provides subscribers with an end-of-year summary of their listening habits but also monthly breakdowns throughout the year, setting itself apart from Spotify's one-time recap. As for YouTube Music, they also release an annual Recap for their users, along with seasonal releases throughout the year. This year, they released their annual Recap earlier this month.
