As a music app, Spotify primarily uses the plays from your account over the past 12 months to create your personalized list. Your Wrapped playlist is tailored with the songs you played the most, showing the number of minutes you spent listening to your favorite artists. It also highlights the exact day you used the platform the most, with a detailed breakdown.
Spotify Wrapped 2024 is a personal experience
Spotify Wrapped takes personalization a step further by showing the number of distinct songs that made up your 2024 soundtrack. Among them, it highlights your top 5 tracks—the ones you just couldn’t stop playing—complete with an exact count of how many times you listened to each.
It also compares your past listening habits with this year’s discoveries, showcasing the new artists you explored. Given the app’s vast library featuring most of the world’s artists, it even organizes your preferences by genre, offering a nostalgic reminder of how you felt during different times of the year.
Recently, Spotify debunked the rumor that data collection stopped on October 31, clarifying that your listening habits in November are still included. "Spotify Wrapped doesn’t stop counting on October 31," the platform shared on social media.
