Spotify Wrapped kicks off the holiday season with one of the greatest gifts of all for music lovers: a recap of their annual listening experience.

The music streaming app began publishing an annual summary in 2016 that is personally curated for each user. Since then, Spotify Wrapped has quickly gained traction and is now shared by hundreds of millions of fans on their social media profiles every year.

In recent years, Spotify has expanded its Wrapped to include personal messages from artists to fans and statistics about who the most streamed singers were that year, with Taylor Swift taking the top spot. He pushed Bad Bunny to No. 1 in 2023, ending his two-year winning streak (he was close behind at No. 2).

When will Spotify Wrapped 2024 be released? Here’s everything we know so far about the streaming platform’s highly anticipated recaps.

What is Spotify Wrapped?

Every year Spotify releases its annual roundup called “Spotify Wrapped.” Each Spotify user receives a customized compilation that summarizes their listening habits this year, including data such as the most listened to artists, songs, albums and podcasts.

The streaming app also customizes the Wrapped experience annually with various new interactive elements. In 2023, this included finding out the listener’s aura and which city in the world he heard the music most like.

Spotify also publishes Wrapped for artists, which shows their top songs, the number of minutes their music was streamed, and where in the world they were listened to the most.

When will Spotify Wrapped be released in 2024?

Spotify Wrapped’s release date was never announced in advance, with the music platform usually dropping the roundup by surprise.

When has Spotify Wrapped been released in the past?

In previous years, Spotify Wrapped was released mid-week, the last week of November or the first week of December.

Until 2021, the streamer published the summary in the first days of December. However, for the last two years it has always been published on the last Wednesday in November.

2023: Wednesday November 29th

2022: Wednesday November 30th

2021: Wednesday, December 1st

2020: Tuesday, December 1st

2019: Thursday, December 5th

2018: Thursday, December 6th

2017: Wednesday, December 6th

How can you check your Spotify Wrapped once it’s available?

Once Spotify releases Wrapped, the package should be available on a user’s homepage when they open the mobile app. It appears as a banner on the home screen, but can also be browsed by typing “wrapped”.

If a listener is accessing on a desktop, they can go to the official Spotify Wrapped landing page and log in to their account to view the annual customized summary.

When does Spotify Wrapped stop counting your data?

The question of when Spotify will stop tracking a person’s listening data is controversial after an employee at the streamer said so Newsweek in 2021 that the meeting ends on October 31st.

“The reason we have this hard cut-off is purely in the interest of campaign logistics,” Brendan Codey, deputy director of creator growth and programs at Spotify, told the outlet.

“We need to QA the site and finalize the assets for Wrapped, all of which takes a while. If you include Thanksgiving, we have even less time,” he added.

This would mean that all November and December listening experiences would be excluded from the data, as the platform doesn’t start tracking for Wrapped again until January.

However, Spotify refuted this claim in a 2023 post
