If you spoke with anyone on December 4, you almost certainly discussed your Spotify Wrapped at some point in the conversation. Spotify Wrapped dropped early that morning, summarizing listeners’ 2024 listening habits and featured a variety of elements. The Wrapped was highly anticipated by many since the actual date of its release was not publicly announced. Once it dropped though, listeners took to social media, posting screenshots of their yearly listening habits.

The graphics on the Wrapped incorporated various pieces of information: the first datapoint from the year’s review was the total amount of minutes listened to. Following that was the top song portion, with users’ five most listened to songs displayed on a leaderboard. One of the more vague parts of the review was the “2024 Music Evolution,” showing musical ‘eras’ the listener went through. This presented themes like Breakup Strut Pop, Pumpkin Spice Western Sad Country, and Cinnamon Softcore Artdeco. To finish off the review, users’ top artists were revealed, and a video from the #1 artist was shown thanking the listeners for a year of dedication to their music in a personal way.

Spotify Wrapped faced some complaints due to it not including the variety of data that many listeners wanted; there was even more to be found underneath the ‘Wrapped’ tab though. There, personalized playlists could be found, as well as clips from podcasters, and even a Spotify Wrapped AI Podcast. Overall the anticipation behind Spotify Wrapped shows that users will be sure to be listening their way through 2025.
