Spotify Wrapped 2024

• Dec 1, 2024

Have you been on Spotify in the last few months? If you have, chances are you are looking forward to Spotify Wrapped, which is coming up in December 2024.

Spotify Wrapped is a marketing campaign which was launched in 2015 by Spotify. It was known as the ‘Year in Music’ but was changed in 2016 to ‘Spotify Wrapped’. As the name suggests, it wraps up the year in music on the platform using metrics of over 574 million users globally. So, you can see who you have been listening to the most over the last 12 months. Well, 10 months, but that will be looked at later!

The platform also releases its Top Global Artist, which has many people debating over who this will be come December 2024. There are some top streamed artists on the platform, but, as is the way with music, it could change quickly. Some of the favorites for 2024, however, include Taylor Swift and Drake.

When Does Spotify Start Wrapped For 2024?

Although it is an annual thing, Spotify Wrapped doesn’t ever calculate the streaming results for the entire 12-month period. Spotify Wrapped begins its tracking on January 1 and ends on Halloween or October 31. Spooky! This gives Spotify time to calculate all of the streaming results and announce the Top Global Artist for the coming December, as well as announce which songs were streamed the most and which albums were listened to.

How To Access Spotify Wrapped

You can see the results for Spotify Wrapped and the Top Global Artist between November and December. As of the time of writing, there is no set date for when the Top Global Artist or Spotify Wrapped will be announced in 2024, so keep your eyes on the platform for the release date!

Can You Vote For the Top Global Artist?

In a word, no, you cannot vote for the Top Global Artist on Spotify. These results are worked out based on how often the artist has been listened to on the platform over the period from January to October.

This is typically based only on monthly listener statistics. The platform is able to track how many people listened to at least one song from an artist over the last 28 days. As the platform uses IP addresses, it is safe to assume that it is a distinct user per IP address. These numbers are then tallied up to result in the top global artist.

To give you an idea of how many times a song needs to be listened to for somebody to earn the Top Global Artist title, the most streamed artist of 2023 on Spotify was Taylor Swift, with her songs streamed a whopping total of 29.1 billion times. That’s a lot of people!

If you believe that Beyonce could be Spotify’s Top Global Artist, you could win £350 by betting $100 at PaddyPower if she is.
