Spotify Wrapped 2024: When is it coming out and how do I find my year in review?

On By Littum

It’s already that time of year for Spotify to release its special “Wrapped” feature, which gives users personalized analyzes of their music listening habits from the past year.

The music streaming service first released Spotify Wrapped in 2016. The stats give music fans their best listened to artists, albums, songs, podcasts and more to share with their friends.

Although the release date is often a surprise, the streaming platform has typically released the feature on Wednesdays in late November – the last two years it was Wednesday 30 November and in 2021 it was Wednesday 1 December.

Here’s how to access your personal Spotify package when it’s ready

For those interested in joining the viral hype, you must be a Spotify subscriber. The feature will likely appear automatically when you open the app. But if it doesn’t, you can go to Spotify’s website or check the “home” section of the app and Spotify Wrapped should be there.

There has previously been some confusion about whether music listened to beyond October is included in Wrapped’s data. In October 2023, Spotify confirmed on X that music listened to after October 31 actually counts.

Last year’s top five listened tracks globally were Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, SZA’s “Kill Bill”, Harry Styles’ “As It Was”, Jung Kook’s “Seven (feat Latto) (Explicit ver)” and Peso Pluma and Eslabon Armado’s ” Ella Baila The sun”.

Taylor Swift overtook Bad Bunny’s as the most listened to artist of the year with more than 26.1 billion global streams. The reggaeton superstar came in second, followed by The Weeknd, Drake and Peso Pluma.

Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti however, the album took first place as the most listened to album of 2023, while Swift’s Midnights came in second place.

As for podcasts, Joe Rogan’s The Joe Rogan Experience was the global favourite, and YouTuber Alex Coopers Call her dad podcast landed at number two.
