Hate Your Spotify Wrapped? You Aren’t Alone

Spotify Wrapped 2024 left out many of its usual data points this year, causing listeners to express their disappointment online.

In the past, the feature has gone viral for its creative blend of pop culture references, aesthetically pleasing presentations, and concrete data on how people listen to music. Another fun aspect of Spotify Wrapped that the streaming platform left out was “Sound Town,” which usually pairs listeners with different cities based on their top artists and genres. A user on X wrote, “if the lack of fun facts in Spotify Wrapped this year taught us anything it’s that the world needs less AI and more chronically online data analysts with a sense of humour.” Another user concurred with the AI hypothesis: “Spotify Wrapped is underwhelming and reeks of AI… there seems to be real lack of effort this year from the boring visuals to the missing genres and quirks.”
