Spotify Wrapped is approaching, and music enthusiasts are excited to reveal their favorite tracks from the past year on social media.

This Thursday, Spotify announced through an app notification that “2024 is nearly complete,” prompting users to update the app in preparation.

When Spotify Wrapped is ready, users will receive a notification upon opening the app. The streaming service is also expected to announce the release date on its social media platforms.

When is Spotify Wrapped expected to be released?

While Spotify has not yet disclosed the exact release date for the 2024 Wrapped, it is anticipated to arrive soon based on trends from previous years. Spotify has been releasing Wrapped earlier in recent times.

In 2023 and 2022, Wrapped was released on Nov. 30. For 2021 and 2020, it was on Dec. 1. In 2019, the release date was Dec. 5, followed by Dec. 6 in 2018.

What is Spotify Wrapped all about?

Launched in 2016, Spotify Wrapped is an annual event that compiles user listening data into an interactive summary highlighting a user’s most played music.

Usually, Spotify Wrapped showcases a user’s top songs, artists, and genres, encouraging users to share their Wrapped results on social media platforms.

Data collection for users takes place from January 1 until the fall of the same year to generate their Wrapped summary.

When does Spotify Wrapped stop gathering data?

With Spotify Wrapped being released before December 31, users might be curious when the tracking of their listening habits comes to an end.

While Spotify hasn’t stated the cut-off date for this year’s data collection, they previously mentioned on X (formerly Twitter) that tracking would continue until October 31.

What about Apple Music Replay?

In 2019, Apple introduced its own feature called Apple Music Replay, which serves a similar purpose to Spotify Wrapped. Starting this year, Apple Music Replay has begun to deliver monthly summaries of user listening habits at the end of each month.

As of now, there is no confirmed release date for the 2024 edition of Apple Music Replay.
