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.

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.

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.

Here’s When You Can Expect Spotify Wrapped 2023 To Come Out

We’re near the end of the year, which for music fans and social media users means one thing: Spotify Wrapped is coming. The annual round-up of Spotify users’ listening habits that takes over Instagram and everything else for a few days is on the way, but when is the 2023 installment coming out?

There’s no officially announced date for that, but based on precedent, it should be in late November or early December. Last year’s was unveiled on November 30, while the 2021 and 2020 editions landed on December 1.

For music lovers trying to intentionally shape what their year-end round-ups look like, now’s the last chance for a final push: Spotify has previously noted that in terms of the data used to generate Wrapped, only listening activity from January 1 to October 31 is considered.

If you don’t want to wait for Wrapped, there are a few third-party alternatives you can try right now. There’s How Bad Is Your Spotify?, a bot that looks over your listening data and roasts you for your music taste. There’s also Instafest, which uses your listening history to create a fictional music festival lineup poster. Spotify Pie is worth considering, too, as it takes the past month of your Spotify activity (not the whole year) and makes a nice pie chart from it.

Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Mathers Listened To Eminem A Lot In 2021, As Her Spotify Wrapped Proves

There’s no need to explain that Eminem has a lot of fans, but in case you didn’t know, his daughter, Hailie Scott Mathers, also has a bunch of stans: She has over two million followers on Instagram and a few hundred thousand more on TikTok. Speaking of TikTok, she recently took to the platform to reveal a bit about her 2021 Spotify Wrapped, noting that her most-played artist of the year was actually her dad.

In the video, which has nearly 7 million views as of this post, Mathers lip-syncs to The Real Housewives Of Potomac‘s Wendy Osefo talking about being a Nicki Minaj fan, on the November 8 episode of The Wendy Williams Show. Meanwhile, text on screen reads, “‘Do you listen to your dad’s music?’ ‘What??? Do I listen to my dad’s music?’ ‘I think my dad’s gone crazy.’” The video then cuts to a recording of her Spotify Wrapped presentation, which says not only that Eminem was her top artist of the year, but that she was in the top three percent of his listeners on the streaming platform.

Indeed, Mathers and her dad appear to share a good relationship. In 2018, The Daily Mail asked Mathers if “if she sees her father often and he’s supportive” and she responded, “Of course, we are very close.” Meanwhile, on 2020, Eminem spoke about his daughter with Mike Tyson on his Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson podcast. The boxer asked if Mathers was thinking about having children and Eminem replied, “Not babies, nope. Just a boyfriend and she’s doing good. She’s made me proud for sure. She graduated from college, 3.9.”

Artists Share Reactions To The 2021 Year-End Spotify Wrapped Lists

If you’ve been on social media today, you’re probably well aware that Spotify unveiled the annual Spotify Wrapped feature today, where music fans see lists of the songs, artists, genres, and more that they most engaged with on the streaming platform over the past year. While it’s an opportunity for fans to look back on 2021, it’s also a neat chance for artists to see just how music their work was appreciated. So, as Wrapped started making the rounds today, artists shared their reactions.

Bad Bunny’s reaction wasn’t on social media, but in real life. As he was told in-person that he was the year’s most-streamed artist worldwide, he was all smiles. He was asked what fans can look forward to in 2022 and he said, “The same! I don’t go into it to be the No. 1 most streamed artist. I just make music. I just enjoy my ‘work.’ I hope 2022 is going to be great.”

Lil Nas X also took time to answer a bunch of fans who reached out via social media to let him know that he made their lists.

A bunch of artists beyond the aforementioned shared their thoughts about Spotify Wrapped, so check out some other reactions below.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

It’s that time of the year again — Spotify Wrapped is here. While many are spending the first day of December decorating for the holidays, music lovers around the globe are checking their Spotify account to see a round up of their most-streamed artists, albums, and songs of the year. The data shows that Olivia Rodrigo had a massive year, as she had the most-streamed song and album worldwide. But there was another artist whose music was streamed the most times around the world on the platform: Bad Bunny.

Thanks to Bad Bunny’s prolific songwriting, the Puerto Rican rapper received the most streams on Spotify out of any other artist around the world. According to Spotify’s data, rapper was streamed 9.1 billion times globally this year, an impressive feat for an artist who didn’t even release an album in 2021. Following behind Bad Bunny in worldwide streaming numbers is Taylor Swift at No. 2, BTS at No. 3, Drake at No. 4, and Justin Bieber at No. 5.

When Bad Bunny found out the news, he still remained humble. The musician said he makes music for the love of it and his goal was never to be the most-streamed artists around the world.

While Bad Bunny may have been the top-streamed artist around the globe, the stats look a little different in the US. Bad Bunny was the fifth-most-streamed artist on Spotify in the US, while Drake took the No. 1 slot. Taylor Swift was behind Drake while Juice WRLD came in at No. 3 and Kanye West at No. 4.

See a video of Bad Bunny finding out he’s 2021’s most-streamed artist above.
