Spotify Wrapped

The music service Spotify just released this year’s Spotify Wrapped, a yearly marketing campaign of a user’s statistics on their platform. Following a pop-culture influenced design, users can view their top artists, songs and minutes spent listening to music. This year, “Your Music Evolution” was added to the statistics, displaying a user’s shift in taste throughout the year. “Longest Listening Streak” was also added, showing how many days in a row a user listened to a specific artist.

Though widely anticipated, many believed that this years Spotify Wrapped was underwhelming. Criticisms were aimed towards the poor graphic design, missing statistics and overall inaccurate details regarding users’ music history.

Most notably, users disapproved of the use of generative AI for their personalized podcast regarding their Wrapped. The push for promoting and relying on AI in Spotify’s service left a bad taste in people’s mouths. The popular opinion claims that previous years’ Wrapped was far better than 2024’s version.
