You must be seeing in all your social media users boasting about their Spotify Wrapped artists and songs, yes it's that time of year again!

And Spotify users are all ready to hype up about their yearly Spotify Wrapped.

For the uninitiated, Spotify Wrapped is an annual personalised feature that gives users a fun retrospective look back at their music listening habits over the past year. It’s essentially a roundup of stats telling you which artists, songs, genres, and podcasts you binged on the most.

So how does it work? At the end of each year, Spotify crunches the data on every track, album, artist and podcast you listened to that year.

The platform turns those numbers into flashy, shareable cards and infographics like “Your Top Songs 2023.” The whole package gets presented to you on a shareable page you can access on both mobile and desktop.

The feature drops in the final days of November and immediately takes over social media for weeks as users excitedly share their musical report cards. The #SpotifyWrapped hashtag tends to trend as people compare stats and mock each other’s guilty pleasure listens. It’s all meant to be a bit of end-of-year music fun while allowing Spotify to get some free promotion.

And you're already feeling FOMO because you don't listen to Spotify but want to have the Wrapped Experience, you’re not out of luck because many other streaming services like Apple Music and YouTube Music release similar recaps. Apple Music releases its annual ‘Apple Music Replay Playlist’ while YouTube Music has its ‘Year in Review’ that you can access from their respective apps and join in the fun.

As part of ‘Wrapped,’ Spotify also reveals its top artists, songs, albums, and podcasts across the world in a year.
