Attention all music lovers: Spotify Wrapped is almost here! Soon you’ll be able to share your most listened to songs of 2024 on social media.

Contrary to some panicky social media posts, the audio streamer didn’t stop tracking listener data when the calendar turned to November.

When opening the Spotify app, users will be notified by another pop-up when their Spotify Wrapped is ready, as long as no updates are pending. Spotify will also likely post about the release date on its social media.

While Spotify has yet to announce when 2024 Wrapped will be released, the event’s history suggests it will happen soon. The service has hosted earlier release dates in recent years:

When will Spotify stop tracking Wrapped?

With Spotify Wrapped launching before December 31, users may be wondering when tracking their listening habits will end. Some seem to believe that Spotify only keeps data between January 1 and October 31.

However, Spotify itself turned to social media to dispel these rumors and reassure that user tracking would continue into November. On the last day of October, the audio streamer posted a Halloween-themed image of a jack-o’-lantern filled with candy and a message that read, “Spotify Wrapped won’t stop counting on October 31st.”

Beyond this reassurance, it remains unclear when Spotify do stop tracking listener data. All we know is that it’s sometime between November 1 and when Wrapped comes out.

What is Spotify Wrapped?

Founded in 2016, Spotify Wrapped is an annual campaign that combines listening data from Spotify users into an interactive display of the user’s most listened to music.

Typically, Spotify Wrapped displays a user’s top songs, artists, and genres. Users are encouraged to share their Spotify Wrapped on social media. The streaming platform also creates a playlist of a user’s 100 most streamed songs and shares fun facts like whether they’re in the top 1% of Taylor Swift listeners and what their music aura looks like.

User data is collected from January 1 through the fall of that same year to produce a user’s Spotify Wrapped.

When will Apple Music Replay be released?

In 2019, Apple jumped on the Wrapped bandwagon and released its own feature called Apple Music Replay. Apple Music Replay works similarly to Spotify Wrapped and has started releasing monthly Replay experiences, highlighting a user’s listening habits at the end of each month.

A release date for 2024 Apple Music Replay has not yet been announced.

Music lovers share their concerns about Spotify Wrapped in 2024

Since its official launch in December 2016, the app’s users have been eagerly awaiting the annual drop. While the majority seem to enjoy sharing their results, many also joke that their Spotify Wrapped can be ’embarrassing’. Music taste is highly subjective, and some may fear online judgment if their listening habits don’t match the music they’re supposed to be listening to, whether it’s a specific artist or a genre as a whole.

Spotify users are starting to speculate about their versions of Spotify Wrapped and what they might reveal about their personalities and interests.

When will Spotify Wrapped 2025 start tracking?

Spotify will resume tracking listener data for next year’s Spotify Wrapped in January.
