Spotify Wrapped has arrived, providing users with a personalized summary of their listening habits from the past year. Music enthusiasts can now discover their most-streamed songs and artists, including the viral hit “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan and Kendrick Lamar’s latest track aimed at Drake.
This annual recap not only showcases individual listening trends but also prompts users to share their results across social media, highlighting how the platform connects music lovers during this time of reflection. Spotify offers insights into the “musical phases” that have shaped users’ experiences, revealing favorite artists and personalized playlists containing familiar tracks and new recommendations.
In 2024, Sabrina Carpenter’s catchy song “Espresso” takes the crown as the most-streamed song globally, while Taylor Swift maintains her reign as Spotify’s top global artist after accumulating over 26.6 billion streams this year. Other top global artists include The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake, Billie Eilish, Travis Scott, Peso Pluma, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, and Feid.
To access Spotify Wrapped 2024, users should ensure their Spotify app is up-to-date. The latest version, 8.9.94, is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Once updated, users can easily navigate to the Wrapped tab in the app to view their personalized recap.
The Wrapped Mapped feature provides additional fun by allowing users to explore regional listening trends. In California, pop music shines, with Kendrick Lamar showcasing the state’s affinity for hip hop. Noteworthy songs in major cities include:
– San Francisco: “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter, “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish, and “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar.
– Los Angeles: Dominated by “Like Crazy” by Jimin and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”
– San Diego: Similar to San Francisco, with “Espresso” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” making the list.
In 2023, Taylor Swift led the charts again as Spotify’s top artist, followed by other heavyweights like Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, and Drake.
Spotify continues to track user data beyond Halloween, although a specific cutoff for data collection has not been disclosed. While some users may feel that this year’s Wrapped is later than usual, Spotify has a precedent of releasing the annual recap in early December.
Overall, Spotify Wrapped not only celebrates music and its cultural significance but also unites listeners in shared experiences and discoveries. It’s an exciting time for music fans as they revel in the nostalgia of the past year and look forward to what’s next in their musical journey.
