    When does the platform stop collecting data?

    Online Niel Posted on

    It’s not too late to do last-minute damage control with your music habits.

    Spotify shuts down rumors that it no longer tracks user data for annual Spotify Wrapped on October 31.

    The popular campaign allows users to preview their best songs, artists and podcasts of the year to share on social media. The streaming platform also creates a playlist of a user’s 100 most streamed songs and shares fun facts like whether they’re in the top 1% of Taylor Swift listeners or what their aura looks like musical.

    While Wrapped typically launches in late November to early December, many are under the unfounded assumption that the app only tracks listening habits between January 1st and October 31st. On Wednesday, some users joked online that they only had 24 hours to save their results. .

    Spotify has assured users that the rumor is false. The audio streamer shared a Halloween graphic on X on Thursday with a jack-o’-lantern filled with candy and a message that read: “Spotify Wrapped doesn’t stop counting on October 31st.”

    Here’s what you need to know about this year’s Spotify Wrapped.

    When will Spotify Wrapped 2024 be released?

    Spotify has yet to announce when 2024 Wrapped will drop, but based on previous years, it will be next month. In recent years, Spotify has moved up the Wrapped release date.

    Last year’s Wrapped dropped on November 29th. In 2022Spotify Wrapped released on November 30th. In 2021 and 2020 launched on December 1. In 2019 launched on December 5 and in 2018 was released on December 6.

    What is Spotify Wrapped?

    Founded in 2016, Spotify culminated in an annual campaign that combines Spotify users’ listening data into an interactive display of the music the user has listened to the most.

    Typically, Spotify Wrapped displays a user’s top songs, artists, and genres. Users are encouraged to share their Spotify Wrapped on social media.

    User data is collected from January 1 through the fall of that year to produce a user’s Spotify Wrapped.

    When does Spotify Wrapped stop tracking?

    Since Spotify Wrapped is launching before December 31st, users may be wondering when the tracking of their listening habits ends.

    While Spotify hasn’t announced when it will stop tracking listener data for Wrapped this year, the streaming service has posted on Xex Twitter, last year that tracking continued until October 31st.

    How to check your Spotify Wrapped?

    When Spotify Wrapped 2024 launches, users can see their results in the app as long as there are no pending updates.

    How about Apple Music Replay?

    In 2019, Apple jumped on the Wrapped bandwagon and launched its own feature called Apple Music Replay. Working similarly to Spotify Wrapped, Apple Music Replay earlier this year began rolling out monthly Replay experiences, highlighting a user’s listening habits at the end of each month.

    A 2024 release date for Apple Music Replay has not been announced.
