Yahoo Lifestyle Fans Eagerly Anticipate Their 'Annual Mental Health Report' as Spotify Teases Its Wrapped Release
A new announcement from Spotify has the music streaming platform’s subscribers eagerly anticipating an annual data release that has become a cultural phenomenon in recent years.
Spotify Wrapped, which the company unveils around this time every year, will be available for subscribers soon, according to a social media announcement on Wednesday, Nov. 27.
Since 2016, Spotify has provided subscribers with personalized data breakdowns detailing the songs and artists they listened to most over the last year, though the streaming platform typically doesn’t announce exactly when the data will be made available, choosing, instead, to surprise music fans on the day of the release.

“This year contained multitudes. So will your Wrapped. Coming Soon. #SpotifyWrapped,” Spotify wrote in a Wednesday post on X, formerly Twitter.
Accompanying the tweet was a 26-second video that showed different artistic versions of the Spotify logo, seemingly meant to represent the wide variety of music genres available to stream. The video ended with a brief message typed out in red on a black background that read, “Your Wrapped is coming soon.” As with previous years, Spotify did not specify the exact date on which listeners will be able to review their Wrapped data.
Several fans who have eagerly awaited the release of Wrapped reacted to the update on X by bemoaning Spotify’s lack of specificity.
“Can you just… do it already??” one X user asked, as another wondered, “girl how soon? like 5 minutes or 5 business days?” and a third wrote, “please release it i can't wait much longer.”
“I've been waiting for this since the last wrapped,” one fan tweeted, while another wrote, “can soon be tomorrow.”
Another X user urged Spotify to “stop acting mysterious and just drop it already.”
Some fans poked fun at their own listening habits, with one person writing that they "Can’t wait to see what chaos my 2024 Wrapped is gonna reveal! 😂.”
“Terrified because I know mine is gonna be absolutely EMBARRASSING this year,” an X user wrote, as another dubbed Spotify Wrapped their “annual mental health report.”

“Ah yes, the annual reminder that my music taste is a mix of emotional breakdowns, gym hype, and questionable late-night decisions,” one person tweeted, adding, “Thanks in advance, Spotify.”
Though Spotify subscribers don’t yet know exactly when this year’s Wrapped will drop, the streaming platform typically releases everyone’s personalized data breakdown between Nov. 30 and Dec. 6, according to The Associated Press.
