As November comes to an end, music lovers are buzzing about this year's Spotify Wrapped. Wrapped has gradually become a significant pop culture moment. It generates memes, debates, and more every year.

Spotify Wrapped reflects how people connect with songs and artists throughout their personal experiences in a year. The feature is also considered by many as a global metric of artist popularity, as it reveals the artists who got relatively good spots on streaming charts from January through November.

Spotify Wrapped 2024 rankings saw Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, and Sabrina Carpenter take top spots. It is worth noting that the platform has not yet confirmed the exact launch date of Spotify Wrapped 2025. However, according to multiple reports, it is expected to drop between December 3 and December 4, 2025.

The company typically unveils the feature in the first week of December, usually on a weekday. For context, Wrapped arrived on December 4 in 2024, November 29 in 2023, and November 30 in 2022. Notably, Spotify has updated the Wrapped landing page and asked users to update their apps.

In an official description of the annual event, the platform writes:

"Spotify Wrapped is our annual thank you to users, artists, creators and authors around the world. Each year, Wrapped celebrates the music, podcasts and audiobooks that soundtracked the world around us. This annual moment includes an interactive experience that reflects your personalized music journey throughout the year."

It continues:

"Alongside this experience, we provide you with editorial, personalized playlists as well as global toplists that celebrate how hundreds of millions of fans worldwide listened throughout the year. Note: Wrapped and some Wrapped features may not be available to all users, as they’re subject to specific eligibility criteria."

Wrapped 2024 revealed Taylor Swift as the most-streamed artist globally. She secured over 26.6 billion streams. Swift's presence on streaming charts remained relatively strong throughout 2024. She topped Wrapped for multiple regions.

Sabrina Carpenter's track Espresso became the most-streamed global song in 2024. Bad Bunny and The Weeknd were also placed relatively high on the rankings.

Bad Bunny has remained one of the most beloved artists in the Latin music scene. He was previously Spotify's top artist for three consecutive years. He is also set for his DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour. A complete itinerary for his tour is explored later in this article.

Notably, Spotify Wrapped 2024 introduced a mapped feature that depicted regional listening behavior. One example was Jimin's Like Crazy, which was reported as a top track in Los Angeles.

However, Spotify Wrapped 2024 faced criticism as the Spotify algorithm reportedly leaned into AI categorization. It showed unprecedented genre labels such as Cottagecore Trap, Slop Rock, and Shimmer Pop. Reports suggest that many of these divisions did not align with users' listening habits.

Spotify later acknowledged the feedback and confirmed the system would undergo review. For Wrapped 2025, the company has reportedly adjusted its approach.

Amid the Spotify Wrapped buzz, Bad Bunny's DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour is also gaining attention. His upcoming live dates span 2025 and 2026. The confirmed tour schedule is as follows:
