Isn’t Wrapped a bit late this year?
Early December feels a little late for Wrapped, but it’s not an unusual time for Spotify to hit the rollout button. Last year, it did land on November 29, but in 2019 it appeared on December 5, while the year before it arrived even later on December 6.
So while it feels like Wrapped should be a late-November affair, the more common rule now is that it lands on a Wednesday, which it’s done for the last five years now. Have we just done a Wrapped-style analysis of Wrapped? Well, it’s about time the tables were turned…
You may want to try the mobile web player first…
Spotify Wrapped 2024 is now officially rolling out, but not everyone (including many on the TechRadar team) are seeing it in the app yet.
But one way to see your slideshow is to open a browser on your smartphone then head directly to the Spotify web player (making sure you’re logged in on the app). You should then see the slideshow of your musical highlights, which will keep you busy while the full Wrapped heads to the app.
Yes, Wrapped is rolling out now
Spotify has finally tired of every single reply to its social media accounts being a skeleton meme with a ‘waiting for my Wrapped’ tagline – the button has been pressed, and Wrapped 2024 is rolling out now.
It’s too late to game those algorithms. The next time you open your Spotify app (making sure you’re on the latest version) you should see a Wrapped 2024 banner appear among your mixes – tap it to find the unvarnished truth of your year in music.
Alternatively, if you’re old-school or secretly checking at work, you can find Wrapped 2024 in the macOS or Windows apps, or in a web browser.
