Does Spotify Wrapped still track in December?

The streaming giant has yet to release its annual music round-ups for 2024. So you are still waiting to discover your top artists and songs for this year - for a few more days at least.

However, as it has yet to arrive, you might be wondering if Spotify Wrapped is still tracking your listening habits in December. Thankfully, you are in the clear - so listen to those festive tunes to your hearts content.

Spotify Wrapped’s tracking period is from January to some time in November. It has long been assumed that the counting ended after Halloween, but the streamer has confirmed that is not the case.

But unlike Santa Claus, your Wrapped doesn’t see what you are up to in December. Which is a massive relief, since you don’t want to find yourself with All I Want For Christmas Is You at the top of your songs for 2024 - or 2025.

When will Spotify Wrapped be released?

A release date has not yet been announced. However last week, Spotify teased that Wrapped is “coming soon”.

Last year, Spotify Wrapped released on Wednesday November 29 - but for this year, they have pushed back the launch to December. Find out which is Spotify’s favourite day of the week to release the annual round-up here.
