Are You Emotionally Ready to Musically Revisit 2024? Here's How You Find Your Spotify Wrapped

At some point, technology decided that not only did we need access to everything forever, but we should also be reminded of the past. We're pretty sure it started with Facebook memories, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Who among us hasn't been the victim of a jump scare when faced with an old post about an ex? The desire to revisit the past quickly spread to our musical choices. Enter Spotify Wrapped.

Every year, Spotify allows users to peruse their favorite playlists, artists, tunes, and more from the last 365 days. It's really an emotional roller coaster ride as you are reminded why you listened to that one sad Taylor Swift song so many times in a row. Thankfully there are also moments of joy. So, if you're looking to experience a serious blast from the past, here's what to know about Spotify Wrapped 2024.

To check out Spotify Wrapped, just open up your Spotify app and look for it on the front page. You can also view your Wrapped from a web browser if you head over to Spotify.com/Wrapped. If you don't see your Wrapped immediately, simply type the word "wrapped" into your Spotify search bar. In the past, it's arrived as late as Dec. 6 so just be patient. If you can't see yours yet, why not take a moment to repeatedly listen to an upbeat song so you can hopefully go out with a bang?

In general, your personalized Spotify Wrapped information will show the artists, tracks, and albums you listened to most, as well as how many minutes of music you listened to, top podcast genres, how many songs you "liked," and much more. This can lead to some deep feelings of embarrassment as you consider the amount of hours you've spent glued to your phones. Don't worry about it! You're doing great.

If Spotify isn't for you, don't fret. Other platforms have caught on to the popularity of Spotify Wrapped and offer their own versions, per Tech Crunch. Take Amazon Music, for example, whose Amazon Delivered function will provide the same information. What's different about Amazon is the fact that they've used Alexa to provide a special message from your favorite artist.

If you're old school and shifted seamlessly from iTunes to Apple Music, then you'll have access to Replay. Beyond all the usual goodies that come with this feature, you'll also get something called "listening streaks" which tells you which days you listened to music the longest. If we have to venture a guess, we're going with Sundays because something has to combat the Sunday Scaries.

For our money, YouTube Music is the best platform for music because it's included in a YouTube Premium subscription. Every year they drop their Recap feature which involves pretty standard stuff. But again if watching YouTube videos sans commercials is your thing, get Premium and pop on over to YouTube Music.
