Today (November 29) is Spotify Wrapped day, as the world’s leading music streaming platform has unveiled its year-end lists of what artists, songs, albums, and more enjoyed the most streaming activity in 2023. As for what songs were the biggest this year, it depends on where you look.

On the global list, Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” wound up on top. If you focus in on just the US, though, Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” takes home the crown. SZA crushed it on both lists, and both ranks have her at No. 2 with “Kill Bill.”

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.

Can You See Your Spotify Wrapped From Past Years?

As it gets closer to the end of the year, Spotify users wait to see just exactly what songs and artists will make the top of their annual Spotify Wrapped lists. For those who don’t know, to close out the holiday season, Spotify gives all users a list of their most-played statistics — designed in an entertaining format. Last year also saw some new features, including giving individual users their “Listening Personality Type.”

For new users or those who just might want to see what they enjoyed in years past, here’s what to know about if you can see old Spotify Wrapped editions.

While you won’t exactly be able to see the old Spotify Wrapped pop-up from past years unless you screenshotted it and saved it somewhere, users can see their “Top Songs” playlist for each year, going several years back — but only if you chose to save your Wrapped list as one at the time.

Since Spotify only started doing the annual Wrapped drops in 2016, users won’t be able to see anything before that in terms of data. However, six years (going on seven for 2023) of knowing your favorites is still a special treat, making it fun to look back on the songs you loved.

Right now, Spotify users should see their new ones by next month.

When Does Spotify Wrapped Come Out For 2023?

As 2023 comes to an end, many music fans are looking forward to a recap of their favorite albums and songs. This year boasted many exciting releases. With streaming, music lovers are in the era of the ever-promising algorithm, and therefore can’t wait to see a visual representation of their listening habits, as well as an individualized playlist.

As we are in November, Spotify Wrapped is imminent, and we’ve put together a nifty little guide on what to expect from this year’s Wrapped.

When Does Spotify Wrapped Come Out For 2023?

There’s never an official date for when Spotify Wrapped drops. But historically, Spotify users have received their individual Wrapped summaries near the end of November or the beginning of September. The 2022 Wrapped arrived to users’ Spotify app on November 30 last year, and on December 1 in 2021 and 2020.

When Does Spotify Wrapped Stop Tracking For 2023?

In the past, Spotify has been reported to track each user’s listening habits beginning January 1 of each year, and to end tracking after October 31. However, Spotify recently tweeted that Wrapped will include date from after October 31 of this year. Though, it is unclear when Spotify will stop tracking.

How To See Your Spotify Wrapped

Spotify users can see their Wrapped simply by opening the app on their phone or on their computer. A pop-up will appear on-screen, which will allow them to click and direct themselves to their Wrapped. They can also visit the URL spotify.com/wrapped.

How Long Is Spotify Wrapped Available?

There’s no official date when Spotify users are no longer able to view their Spotify Wrapped. However, according to Spotify users on the Spotify community message boards, Wrappeds are usually available to view until early January.

Here When Spotify Wrapped Will Stop Tracking Your Listening History

Spooky season marks the start of the holiday season, but for music streaming giant Spotify, it signifies the end of the streaming year. Just as Uproxx rounds up the top music critics for our year-end best-of lists (see our 2022 albums selections here), Spotify rolls out their Wrapped series for users. The data collection effort shows listeners their favorite bodies of work, singles, and genres, amongst other things.

Last year’s most streamed album on the server came from Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, Olivia Rodrigo, Ed Sheeran, and Doja Cat. The most streamed artists were Bunny, Taylor Swift, Drake, The Weeknd, and BTS. But Spotify Wrapped is personalized for each user, so when does the software stop tracking your listening history?

Today (October 24), news aggregator Pop Base tweeted a reminder to its followers. “One week from today, Spotify will stop counting users’ streams for Spotify Wrapped 2023,” read the post.

According to Newsweek, this timeline is accurate. Spotify reportedly collects users’ data for the personalized experience between only data from January 1 to October 31 each year. Brendan Codey, associate director for Creator Growth and Programs at Spotify, explained the rationale behind the discussion in 2021.

“We have this hard cut-off just for the sake of campaign logistics. We need to QA the site and finalize assets for Wrapped, all of which takes a while. You throw Thanksgiving into the mix, and we have even less time,” said Codey.

These Are The Best Alternatives For Spotify Wrapped That You Can Use Right Now

Spotify is getting closer to dropping its annual Wrapped feature, which typically arrives in late November or early December. While tracking for it ends after this month, users can technically get a preview of what their most-listened-to lists will look like by using some alternatives.

First, if you’re feeling chaotic, there is a program called “How Bad Is Your Spotify?” that is an AI bot that looks at your Spotify listening history, and then proceeds to ridicule you for your choices. It also works for Apple Music users, so no one feels left out. (I got roasted a ton for too much Taylor Swift.)

For those who aren’t feeling like being judged on a Tuesday afternoon, there is Instafest, which takes your favorite artists based on streams and turns them into a Coachella-style festival lineup. There’s a high chance you’ve probably seen these on social media, and thought, “How do I get tickets to that?”

And if you’re into pie charts, there’s an alternative called Spotify Pie. This shows your most-played genres over the past month.

Last, but not least, there’s a program called N-Gen that turns your listening history into different types of artwork. There are options for a DNA-style display, some sound waves, a flower, and more.

How To See Your Spotify Wrapped 2023

Each year, Spotify listeners wait to see their Wrapped lists of their most-played songs and artists. As the countdown is slowly approaching when it comes to tracking streams for it, new users might be wondering how they can see their reveals this year.

Here’s what to know.

Getting to see your Spotify Wrapped is typically possible by opening the app on your phone. From there, the app will give you a pop-up with the chance to view it. Last year, it came with a big full-screen alert that read, “Your 2022 Spotify Wrapped is here. Reveal your #1 artist, top songs, minutes listened, and so much more.”

And, if you happened to ignore the alert, or not receive one at all, you can visit the URL spotify.com/wrapped — and if your app is downloaded/up-to-date, it should bring it back on your phone instantly.

Last year also saw the release of a few new fun added features to the Spotify Wrapped, including telling you what “musical listening personality” you have — similar to the Myers-Briggs labeling test or astrology. In total, users were sorted into one of the sixteen categories based on whether they explore for new artists, listen to classic songs, tend to repeat the same tracks, and more aspects.

While it’s still TBD when exactly this year’s will be out, Spotify has been consistent with when Wrapped is unveiled, so it should be quite soon.
