In recent years, a new annual event has established itself in many people’s calendars: Spotify Wrapped. Still at the same time, the Swedish music streaming platform unveils a musical retrospective for its users.
The Spotify Wrapped is, therefore, the opportunity to delve back into the last few months that have just passed. So much so that we could almost forget Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year as this “event” is so awaited by Internet users. Whether you can’t wait to share it on social media or prefer to keep your guilty pleasures to yourself, the 2024 edition of Spotify Wrapped is here. Yay!
Spotify Wrapped: a musical look back at your year 2024
For 10 years now, Spotify’s music retrospective has been shaking the web. Like every year, the Swedish music streaming platform reveals a summary of the listening statistics of its users. On the menu? The flagship artist, the music that punctuated your year, the genre you favored or even the number of minutes listened to. Spotify favors the stories format to be up to date and offer a dynamic format to its users.
If the Spotify Wrapped is more or less always the same from one year to the next, the platform still strives to add a few new features each year. Thus, the annual summary highlights our progress compared to the start of the year. The year looks back at three months that marked your year and Spotify highlights your mood during these periods. But this year, Spotify has decided to do without listing the musical genres popular with its users…
If you are nostalgic, remember that Spotify has thought of everything and has, in fact, prepared a personalized playlist composed of all the titles that made you vibrate in 2024.

Nationally, Jul remains number 1 in the hearts of French listeners for the fourth consecutive year. At the same time, the rapper is not idle since he released two albums in 2024, and a third should be released for the end of year holidays. The real surprise lies in the most listened to titles in France this year, by a majority of artists who were (almost) unknown a few months ago. This clearly shows how streaming platforms have revolutionized the industry.
How to access Spotify Wrapped 2024?
Maybe you’ve already been able to see your friends’ stories on Instagram, happily sharing their stats. To discover your Spotify Wrapped, simply open the application on your smartphone or computer. Logically, Spotify lures you with an explicit pop-up window. But Spotify may be a little less rushed for some users. To ensure you can access Spotify Wrapped, make sure you have updated the application. But if the recap is still waiting and you don’t want to be patient, we have a little tip for you…
If Spotify Wrapped 2024 isn’t waiting for you directly on the app, you can force the music streaming platform’s hand by clicking right here. Then tap “Download to Spotify”, even if you already have the app, and that’s it. Bingo!
Always copied, never equaled
As we explained to you, Spotify Wrapped has today become a tradition for a multitude of users who are quick to share their statistics on social networks. It’s undeniable: Spotify Wrapped is a marketing campaign that works effectively year after year. This allows Spotify to increase its notoriety and establish itself in the hearts of Internet users as THE platform. Its musical competitors may also offer an annual retrospective, but they never manage to create the event like the Swedish application.

The concept of an annual retrospective has even attracted other companies that do not operate in the world of music. Thus, Duolingo and SNCF also look back on the year of their users by sharing statistics. This is proof that Spotify has truly created a major annual event. Come on, see you next year!
