The much-anticipated Spotify Wrapped arrived on Wednesday, which means you can finally gleefully share your 2024 listening habits with your followers on social media — unless, of course, you’d rather shield your music fixations from the public eye. Either way, the choice is now yours.
Prior to Wednesday, social media had been abuzz with rumors about when the audio streaming subscription service would drop its hit Spotify Wrapped feature, which first launched in 2016. Spotify Wrapped provides subscribers information about their annual individual listening trends, such as their top songs, artists, genres, albums and minutes listened — as well as information about streaming trends worldwide.
Taylor Swift was 2024’s most-streamed artist, generating more than 26.6 billion streams worldwide, Billboard reported. The Weeknd came in second place, followed by Bad Bunny, then Drake and then Billie Eilish.
While many people had expressed excitement about receiving their stats for their music choices for 2024, some people on X, formerly Twitter, are now saying that their music summaries are hilariously a bit awkward.
And some parents have come to the realization that their kids’ music preferences — you know, endless streams of white noise or the “Moana” soundtrack on repeat — dominated their listening habits in 2024.

If you are a parent looking for a way to filter out your kids’ tunes for next year’s Spotify Wrapped, you’re in luck.
Spotify offers several waysto adjust your profile to exclude repeats of songs like “Wheels on the Bus” to be counted in your Wrapped summaries.
One main adjustment you can make is to add songs to a private listening mode in the app. Those songs assigned for private sessions won’t count toward your Wrapped roundup. Go to your profile photo >> settings and privacy >> privacy and social >> toggle to private session.
Till next year.
