Spotify Wrapped is a part of the festive season that music fans look forward to all year. Will they be in their favourite artist’s top percentage of listeners? Who will their wild cards be?
‘Tis the season to stream music, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la… It’s the most wonderful time, of the year. We could carry on quoting Christmas classics, but instead we’ll get straight to it. When is Spotify Wrapped 2024 launching. The only answer we can give… any day now.
Spotify like to keep the suspense growing, so they keep things extremely hush-hush. No one will be aware of when Wrapped 2024 will launch, until it does. However, we can make some educated guesses based off previous years. We’d imagine, before December.
| Year | Date |
| 2017 | 6th December |
| 2018 | 6th December |
| 2019 | 5th December |
| 2020 | 2nd December |
| 2021 | 1st December |
| 2022 | 30th November |
| 2023 | 30th November |
We’d argue the 30th November is looking pretty likely. After all, it does fall on a Saturday this year. However, based off the years 2017-2019, does this mean Spotify will change the date up again this year? Do you think they don’t want people guessing the date?
Normally, Spotify release Wrapped on a Wednesday. Almost like a middle of the week reward. That could mean, by the time this article is live, the annual Spotify round-up will be too. Or, we could see it back in December, on the 4th.
Perhaps they want people to always wonder when it will drop, so, they change it up every couple of years so no one can catch on to a pattern. There might even be no rhyme or reason. It’s part of the fun we guess… Letting people speculate.
They’ve got to be careful, though. Their rivals over at Apple Music introduced their yearly review. It’s called Replay, and it is the same concept as Wrapped. We’d argue it doesn’t yet have the same amount of hype as Wrapped, but this could change depending on features.
If Apple finds new, engaging ideas to add to their review, it could sway audiences. Likewise, if they get in there first each year, you could argue Spotify will be overshadowed. For a bit of fun though, it really shouldn’t matter, but these are large corporations after all. Money talks.
When does Spotify stop tracking for Wrapped?
Another well-kept secret from the streaming giants is when they stop tracking user’s listening habits for the year. There has been recent speculation that tracking is stopped in October, but Spotify have squashed this rumour by releasing a tweet.
Hmm, that doesn't sound right to us. Don’t worry, Wrapped is still counting past Oct. 31 👀 https://t.co/44bFBUURLz

They haven’t however, confirmed when they do stop tracking. We’d imagine either early or mid-November, but again, we can’t be certain because it’s all a secret. However, all we can say is, watch this space because it will be any day now.
