When Does Spotify Wrapped End?
As the holiday season approaches, Spotify users are eager to start checking their Wrapped, the social media-inspired playlist that showcases their listening habits throughout the year. But what does the end of Spotify Wrapped look like? In this article, we’ll break down the features that are included in Wrapped and when they typically end.
What is Spotify Wrapped?
Spotify Wrapped is an annual feature that allows users to create a personalized playlist based on their listening habits. The idea is to see how much time users have spent listening to certain artists, genres, or playlists, as well as the number of songs they’ve streamed. The feature was first introduced in 2014 and has since become a popular way for users to share their listening habits with friends and family.
Features of Spotify Wrapped
Here are some of the key features of Spotify Wrapped:
- Yearly rotation of top songs and artists: Each year, Spotify releases a new set of top songs and artists based on the year’s data.
- Featured artists and songs: A list of the most popular artists and songs of the year, as voted by Spotify users.
- Top playlists: A list of the most popular playlists of the year, such as Discover Weekly and Release Radar.
- Users’ Spotify playlists: A personalized playlist created by Spotify users based on their listening habits.
- Screenshots and social media posts: Users can share their Wrapped on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
When Does Spotify Wrapped End?
Spotify Wrapped typically ends January 8th. This is the official end date for the feature, and after that, the next year’s Wrapped will not include the same features.
However, there are some exceptions:
- Users who started their Wrapped before January 8th may have their data included: Users who started creating their Wrapped earlier in the year may have their data included in the final year’s Wrapped.
- Apple Music Wrapped: Apple Music, a competitor to Spotify, has its own Wrapped feature, which typically ends December 31st. Apple Music users can access their Wrapped data until December 31st, but it will not be included in the final year’s Wrapped.

Spotify Wrapped data is included in the following:
- Top songs and artists: The top songs and artists of the year, based on the number of streams.

Conclusion
Spotify Wrapped is a fun feature that allows users to explore their listening habits and see how much time they’ve spent listening to certain artists, genres, or playlists. The feature typically ends on January 8th, but users who started their Wrapped earlier in the year may have their data included in the final year’s Wrapped.
