SPOTIFY Wrapped is one of the most exciting moments in a music lover's calendar, as the streaming service unveils the artists they have listened to the most.
Those annual stats are finally out and here we take you through how it all works and who is the most popular artist of the year.
Spotify Wrapped is a once-a-year feature which gives listeners an insight into which artists they have been listening to the most.
The app gives them a list of their top five most listened to artists and songs, alongside a slew of different features that are unique to each year.
For example, in 2023, there was where users were told which global city had a similar listening habits to them.
The streaming service opted for a later date in 2024, despite having dropped earlier the past few years.
In 2019, it released on December 5 but a year later it dropped on December 1.
Then, in 2022 and 2023, the beloved event landed on November 30.
For 2024, the stats were unveiled on December 4.
SlotsCalendar have shared which artists topped the Spotify charts in 2024. They even revealed how many times their songs were streamed and how much that artist took home in royalties.
Spotify keep much of the maths behind their beloved feature a secret and rarely give users a peek behind the curtain.
As Spotify Wrapped isn't released at the very end of the year, there is some ambiguity as to when it actually stops tracking what you have been listening to.
However, the streaming service did debunk rumours that they stop tracking a user's listening patterns in October.
Here are the big hitters when it comes to streamed albums:
If you're an artist, then the deadline to record your thank you videos, which Spotify will later send to fans, is annually on November 15.
If you're a listener, remember that Spotify will stop tracking your listening habits soon (although we don't know when exactly tracking stops).
So if you want to change the artists in your top 5 list, you'll need to act fast.
Also, ensure that your Spotify app is up-to-date so you can access Wrapped when it lands on the platform.
Taylor Swift was the most streamed artist in 2023, with her hit songs receiving a whopping total of 26.1 billion streams.
She was followed by Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, Drake and Peso Pluma.
Swift ended Bad Bunny's two year streak as the most listened to artist in the world, when she became the first ever female singer to top the list.
Female artists occupied the last three spots on the top ten list though, with SZA coming in eighth, Karol G coming in ninth and pop icon Lana Del Rey coming in tenth.
