Spotify released its long-awaited 2024 annual review, known as Spotify Wrapped. This experience stands out for offering users personalized data, such as the song they listened to the most during the year and how many times they listened to it. It also includes information about the total number of songs played, the accumulated listening time, and the day on which the most music was listened to.
New to Spotify Wrapped 2024 is the addition of a summary presented by AI DJ, a personalized playlist created and narrated by an artificial intelligence-generated DJ. Besides, Taylor Swift was rated as the platform’s Top Artist since it accumulated more than 26 billion streams.
However, unlike previous years, this summary did not include a ranking of the most listened to podcasts in the stories that are part of Wrapped.
The step by step to watch Spotify Wrapped 2024 is as follows:
- Open the application, whether in its web, mobile or desktop version.
- Go to the ‘Wrapped’ tab located at the top of the interface.
- Press ‘Discover’ to see the stories that characterize the experience.
- To explore the full experience, the user can go to the various playlists.
The main novelty of Spotify Wrapped 2024 is the incorporation of its generated DJ by artificial intelligence, which offers an interactive and personalized experience in the style of a radio host.
This DJ not only selects music based on the user’s preferences, but also introduces the songs with personalized comments, as if it were a live broadcast.
Additionally, this year Wrapped includes a new feature that expands the experience related to your favorite artists.
In previous years, users could only see specific details of the artist they listened to the most during the year. However, in 2024, multiple video clips of the artists most viewed by each user are presented, offering exclusive messages in which they thank their fans for their support.
Taylor Swift has been recognized as Spotify’s top artist of 2024, accumulating more than 26.6 billion streams globally, placing her in first place for the second year in a row.
In April 2024, Swift released her 11th studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’which quickly became the most streamed album of the year on the platform. This work includes 16 tracks in its standard edition, highlighting collaborations with artists such as Post Malone on the lead single ‘Fortnight’ and Florence Welch on ‘Guilty as Sin?’.
The album has been praised for its lyrical storytelling and emotional depth, further cementing Swift’s position in the music industry. In addition, his Eras Tour broke attendance and fundraising records.
Spotify Wrapped is an annual report that summarizes users’ listening habits on the platform. Traditionally, collects data from January 1 to October 31although in 2023 this period was extended without specifying an exact date.
The analysis includes metrics such as most listened to songs and artists, predominant genres, favorite podcasts and total listening minutes. Private sessions do not impact Wrapped statistics, but do add to the total time, while offline listening is recorded upon reconnection.
At the end of the period, Spotify generates an interactive report that users can explore and share, consolidating this feature as an expected event for its informative and social appeal.
