The air is getting chillier, and you know what that means? We’re getting closer to Spotify Wrapped season! The feature is one of social media’s most anticipated days of the year with millions of users sharing their top songs and artists of the year.
Spotify compiles the most listened-to songs, top artists, genres, and podcasts that a listener listens to that year. The feature has evolved immensely over the years with some real life activations expanding to everyday life ads and billboards. “I think what’s become really wonderful about our Wrapped celebration for the global top artist in particular is that it’s given us permission to really deliver special experiences for fans,” Global Head of Marketing Experience, Louisa Ferguson says.

When does Spotify stop tracking?
Contrary to popular belief, Spotify doesn’t stop tracking music for Spotify Wrapped on Halloween aka October 31. The official Spotify account tweeted in response to a now-deleted PopBase post, “Hmm, that doesn’t sound right to us. Don’t worry, Wrapped is still counting past Oct. 31.” Your Christmas listening won’t be counted, but your post-spooky vibes playlist will. As for when Spotify starts counting for wrapped, it’s the first day in the New Year, January 1.
What does your Spotify Wrapped show you?
Spotify Wrapped shows you so many of y of the year. Spotify Wrapped usually includes:

Top fans of a music artist can also receive a special video message thanking them for listening to their music.
