What is Spotify Wrapped?

The idea behind Spotify Wrapped originated in 2015, when the wildly popular music platform released its Year in Music feature, allowing users to see which artists they listened to the most in the last 365 days. The Year in Music campaign shared much of the same data as Spotify Wrapped, including listeners’ most played songs and how many hours of music they listened to in total.

The following year, however, the feature received a major facelift, complete with a new name, “Spotify Wrapped.” The marketing campaign seems to be getting more viral every year as Spotify improves its graphic design and data personalization.

In 2018, Spotify included data about the astrological signs of the artists a user listened to the most during the year. In 2019, Spotify Wrapped introduced an Instagram Stories format that allows users to easily share (or showcase) their carefully curated listening history on their social media Stories. In 2020, the platform included podcast listening data.

Last year’s Spotify Wrapped assigned listeners a “Sound Town” – assigning users a city that matched their favorite genres and artists.

Only time will tell what new, quirky data will appear as part of users’ Spotify Wrapped portfolios in 2024.

Does Apple Music have a year-end feature?

In 2022, Apple Music announced its version of Spotify’s year-end campaign called Apple Music Replay. Apple’s feature includes much of the same listening data as Spotify’s, including a user’s top songs, top albums, top artists and top genres from throughout the year.
