Spotify Wrapped is officially here. Today (November 29), Spotify users received their annual interactive summary of their listening habits, along with fun character and personality assessments.

While some are excited to see their Spotify Wrapped, some are a bit confused about their results. Because of this, they are hoping to get on top of the tracking process and produce more accurate assessments for future editions of Spotify Wrapped.

When does tracking start for Spotify Wrapped?

Tracking begins on January 1, according to various sources. This can also be confirmed by the fact that each Spotify user is told which song they kicked off each year with.

Tracking continues over the course of several months, however, ends at an unknown date toward the end of each calendar year. The date has often been thought to be Halloween, however, Spotify has since confirmed that this isn’t the case.

Spotify remains secretive about the process, however, individual Spotify users are encouraged to share their Wrappeds with their friends. For this year’s Wrapped, Spotify introduced Blend, a feature with allows each Spotify User to combine Wrapped playlists with one or more fellow Spotify users.

Spotify users can see their Wrappeds by opening up the app on their mobile device, or by visiting here.

What Was Spotify’s Most-Streamed Album Of 2023?

Spotify Wrapped 2023 has arrived! The popular annual campaign already has music fans around the world sharing their lists of favorite artists, albums, and songs along with the cheery, colorful graphics that make the event so anticipated each year. And while the focus is usually on users’ individual lists, it’s also fun to see what everybody else was listening to. So, what was the most-streamed album? Well, that depends. The world likes one thing, but of course, the US likes its own thing. Find out more below.

Spotify’s Most-Streamed Album Globally For 2023

The most-streamed album on Spotify in the world was Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny, a popular icon in much of the Spanish-speaking world (and a big chunk of the Anglophone one as well). You might think it would have been Midnights by Taylor Swift due to her massive Eras Tour shifting the global economy — and you’d be close, as she came in second.

Spotify’s Most-Streamed Album In The US For 2023

However, when it came to America, the biggest hit was in a completely different, more homegrown genre. One Thing At A Time by Morgan Wallen was the No. 1 album on Spotify in the US, which only makes sense, as country music isn’t quite as popular outside of our cowboy-obsessed corner of the continent (there’s also some weird culture war stuff going on, which… yeah). R&B is also much more popular at home than abroad; SZA overtakes Taylor for the second position with SOS, while Swift comes in third.

Can Your Spotify Wrapped Be Seen By Other People?

Spotify Wrapped for 2023 dropped today, giving listeners the chance to discover their stats — including Top Songs, Top Artists, Top Genres, Top Podcasts, what city matches your listening taste, and so much more. For those who have found theirs, some might be wondering if it can be seen by other people.

Continue scrolling for a breakdown of what to know.

Can Your Spotify Wrapped Be Seen By Other People?

It depends. Each user’s Spotify Wrapped is tailored to them, so others won’t be able to see it through the platform. However, you can take screenshots of your top stats for 2023 and share them on social media or with friends — and then, it would be seen by others that way.

Otherwise, you could simply keep the Wrapped reveal to yourself, and nobody would know.

As for your Top Songs Of 2023 playlist, this is not able to be seen by other people either. Sure, you can tell friends what tracks are on it, but each user will only be able to see their own personalized set and nobody else’s. (In past years, the playlists used to be separate and you could see ones from other users, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.)

Is Spotify Wrapped Only For Premium Users?

At long last, Spotify Wrapped has arrived. Today (November 29), Spotify has gifted users with interactive statistics based on their listening habits. In each Wrapped, listeners get a fun, colorful summary featuring their most listened-to songs, albums, and artists. Spotify also puts together a nifty little playlist featuring each listener’s most listened-to songs, as well as an assessment of their mood and personality.

As this year’s Spotify Wrapped begins to unwrapped, Spotify users have questions as to how they can access their annual stats.

Is Spotify Wrapped only for Premium users?

Both Spotify Free and Spotify Premium users can see their Wrapped statistics. However, Spotify Premium users will have access to some more interactive features. The aforementioned mood and personality assessment will only be available for viewing on the Wrappeds of Premium users.

Some of the newer features also include “Me in 2023,” which assigns each listener one of 12 characters specific to their listening habits, in a tarot-like fashion. Another feature called “Sound Town” matches each user to a city based on the songs and artists they’ve listened to.

According to a press release, listeners will also get their top five genres presented to them in a “sandwich-inspired design.”

All Spotify users can see their individual Wrappeds here.

Today, Spotify rolled out their annual Wrapped feature for 2023, giving listeners a chance to discover what their top songs or most-listened-to artists were. As many wait for the lists each year, new users might be wondering how exactly to find theirs.

Here’s what to know.

How To Find Your Spotify Wrapped For 2023

Spotify Wrapped for 2023 can be accessed through the app on your phone, typically with a pop-up alerting you that it’s ready. If you don’t receive a pop-up, you can also tap under the Wrapped section on the homepage.

For users who still aren’t seeing it or can’t access their Wrapped on the Spotify app, you can try entering through spotify.com/wrapped on a web browser. It will prompt you to sign into your account before showing your Top Listens that way.

Along with showing users their top artists and songs, Spotify Wrapped is also revealing your most-listened genres, where on Earth matches your listening history, your listening personality type, your top podcasts, and more. For those who reached a top percentage of a musician’s listeners, you might even get a special video message from them — as artists like Taylor Swift, Boygenius, and more filmed ones this year.

Enjoy, and happy reveal day to all who celebrate.

Spotify Wrapped is the perfect way to music fans to end the year: New music releases slow down in the weeks leading up to Christmas, so it’s a good time to reflect on what the past year in music was like. Well, good news: Spotify Wrapped 2023 was unveiled today (November 29). Aside from offering users a look at their own listening habits, Spotify also unveils what artists, songs, albums, and more were the most popular on the platform over the past year.

This year’s top artist shouldn’t be a major surprise: It’s Taylor Swift. Between her two new Taylor’s Version albums (Speak Now and 1989) and The Eras Tour (and all the buzz that created around her catalog in general), Swift was huge in 2023, as she topped both the global and US most-streamed artists charts.

Is Spotify Wrapped Coming Out Soon For 2023?

We’re approaching the end of 2023, which is kind of an up-and-down time for music fans. On one hand, new music releases slow down significantly, meaning there’s a lot less new stuff to enjoy for a few weeks. On the other hand, it’s around this time of year that Spotify unveils Spotify Wrapped, its annual, personalized rundown of its users’ listening habits.

Spotify hasn’t explicitly announced when this year’s Wrapped will become available, but here’s what we do know.

When Will Spotify Wrapped Be Released For 2023?

In a November 16 tweet, Spotify noted, “Wrapped is around the corner.” Indeed, precedent suggests that it truly is coming up. More specifically, it looks like Spotify users should be ready towards the end of November and start of December: Last year’s Wrapped was revealed on November 30, while the 2021 and 2020 editions arrived on December 1.

When Will Spotify Wrapped Stop Tracking For 2023?

Spotify previously noted that when it comes to the data used to generate Wrapped, only listening activity from January 1 to October 31 is taken into consideration. Now, though, it appears that is no longer the case: In response to a now-deleted tweet presumably about the Wrapped cut-off date, Spotify responded, “Hmm, that doesn’t sound right to us. Don’t worry, Wrapped is still counting past Oct. 31 [eyes emoji].” It has not been made clear exactly when the new cut-off is, but with Wrapped seemingly coming soon, it was likely at least weeks ago.

How Will I Be Able To See Spotify Wrapped?

When Wrapped is made available, Spotify usually makes it pretty obvious via its app on both mobile devices or computers, so finding it shouldn’t be an issue. If it is, though, try visiting spotify.com/wrapped.

How Long Is Spotify Wrapped Available?

Good question! Wrapped isn’t a permanently accessible feature, and while the end date isn’t information that’s officially available, some users have noted that it tends to disappear in early January, so about a month after it debuts.

When Will Spotify Wrapped Come Out For 2023?

Spotify has started teasing that their annual Spotify Wrapped reveal is right around the corner for users to see. Just yesterday, the company took to social media to ask listeners who they think their top artist will be. “Tis the season for trying to predict our Wrapped results,” Spotify captioned the tweet.

Because of this, listeners could have questions about when the popular feature will be available. Here’s what to know.

When Will Spotify Wrapped Be Released For 2023?

Right now, it’s unclear exactly when Spotify will release the Wrapped feature for 2023. While they have hinted at it, it should be right around the corner, as the company timed it to the holiday season in past years. For specifics, last year (2022) Spotify Wrapped dropped on November 30. In 2021, it was released on December 1.

When Will Spotify Wrapped Stop Tracking For 2023?

While Spotify Wrapped has been an annual thing, it has typically followed the same tracking schedule. It keeps a count of each user’s listening history from January 1 through October 31. However, that seems to have changed for 2023. Spotify assured users that it would continue tracking beyond Halloween but didn’t give an exact stop date on when the cut-off is.

How Will I Be Able To See Spotify Wrapped?

Users will be able to see their Spotify Wrapped through using the app on either their phone or computer. If that doesn’t work, users can try the URL spotify.com/wrapped.

How Long Is Spotify Wrapped Available?

It’s hard to say. The feature isn’t permanently accessible, but some Spotify message boards have claimed that users can still see it until January.

How Does Spotify Wrapped Work?

The holidays are right around the corner. While for some people that means looking forward to wrapping gifts, for music lovers, that means looking forward to Spotify Wrapped. Spotify Wrapped is due to arrive on either November 30 or December 1 (it has landed on both) after the app has collected users’ listening data for the prior 12 months (it’s still unclear where the cutoff is). You can see your Wrapped by just opening the app on your phone once the year’s campaign has launched. But you might be wondering how exactly Spotify Wrapped works after all this time. So…

How Does Spotify Wrapped Work?

Billboard looked into it, and the results are… inconclusive. While top five artists, top five songs, and top five albums — the “big three” Wrapped statistics — are based on total number of streams (over thirty seconds), without knowing the exact cutoff, it’s somewhat unclear which songs receive the most priority in individuals’ Wrapped results.

Billboard also noted that album length has apparently played a part in prior years’ top albums’ success, with longer works like Drake‘s Certified Lover Boy performing better and placing higher in the collective results (CLB was No. 4 on Spotify’s global year-end artist list). However, although offline listens do get counted (somehow), music listened to in Private Sessions doesn’t count toward any top five lists, individual or overall. They do count toward the “total minutes listened” number, just not broken down by genre/artist.
