(WJW) — Nov. 30 isn’t an official holiday, but it marks a day many people look forward to: It’s Spotify Wrapped day.
Spotify launched the year-end “Wrapped” campaign Wednesday, which allows users to see their top-streamed artists, albums, genres and more. Anyone who has a Spotify account will get one. To see yours, head over to the Spotify app and log in.
On Wednesday, your Spotify Wrapped should pop up once you log on. But if you miss it, it will also stay on the homepage of your app. (Spotify Wrapped is not available on desktop.)

Not to be left out of the conversation, this year Apple Music revamped its “Replay experience,” which is similar to Spotify Wrapped. Though launched in 2019, Replay previously had less robust end-of-year statistics for users, or even the functionality to share these lists. This year, Apple Music users can share a highlight reel of their top artists and songs. Additionally, subscribers can get real-time insights of their listening habits, since data will continue to be collected through Dec. 31, the company says. Users will also be able to find out if they’re among the “Superfans” of a particular artist — meaning they’re in the top 100 listeners of that artist or genre.
