There’s still time to make some last-minute adjustments to your listening habits!
Spotify is dispelling rumors that it ceases to track user data for its annual Wrapped feature on October 31. This popular initiative allows users to view and share their top songs, artists, and podcasts of the year on social media. Additionally, Spotify curates a playlist of a user’s 100 most-streamed songs and provides fun insights, such as whether they rank among the top 1% of Taylor Swift listeners or what their “music aura” looks like.
While Wrapped typically launches between late November and early December, some users mistakenly believed that the tracking period ends on October 31. On Wednesday, social media users joked that they had just 24 hours left to save their results.
Spotify clarified that this notion is incorrect. To reinforce this message, the platform shared a Halloween-themed graphic on X, featuring a jack-o’-lantern filled with candy and the message: “Spotify Wrapped doesn’t stop counting on October 31st.”
What to Know About This Year’s Spotify Wrapped
When will Spotify Wrapped 2024 be released?
While Spotify has not officially announced the release date for this year’s Wrapped, it is expected to drop in the coming month. Historically, Spotify has moved up the release date in recent years. For instance, last year’s Wrapped was unveiled on November 29, following a November 30 release in 2022. In 2021 and 2020, it launched on December 1, while in 2019 and 2018, the dates were December 5 and December 6, respectively.
What is Spotify Wrapped?
Launched in 2016, Spotify Wrapped compiles user listening data into an interactive display showcasing the most listened-to music over the year. Users can view their top songs, artists, and genres and are encouraged to share their Wrapped results on social media. The data is collected from January 1 through the fall of the same year.
When does Spotify Wrapped stop tracking?
Since Wrapped is released before December 31, users often wonder when tracking ends. While Spotify has yet to confirm the exact cutoff date for this year’s Wrapped, they indicated on X last year that tracking continues through October 31.
How to check your Spotify Wrapped?
Once Spotify Wrapped 2024 is available, users can access their results through the app, provided no updates are pending.
What About Apple Music Replay?
In 2019, Apple launched its own version of Wrapped, called Apple Music Replay. Similar to Spotify Wrapped, this feature highlights user listening habits and has recently started providing monthly Replay experiences at the end of each month. A release date for the 2024 Apple Music Replay has not yet been announced.
