Spotify Wrapped 2024 release gets closer: When has it previously dropped?
From Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" to Charli XCX's "Brat," 2024 has proven to be an exciting year for music and Spotify is ready to celebrate it.
The annual Spotify Wrapped is set to drop soon, allowing users to look back at their most streamed songs, genres and artists of the year.
While Grammy Award nominations revealed the music industry's darlings last week, Spotify's campaign honors listeners' favorites. The streaming platform also creates a playlist with a user's 100 most streamed songs and shares fun facts like whether they're in the top 1% of Taylor Swift's listeners or what their music aura looks like.
While an official release date has yet to be confirmed, here's what to know about so far about Spotify Wrapped 2024.
