In just a few short weeks, Wrapped roundups will be hitting the timelines on all your favourite social media platforms.

To avoid having to reveal your worst habits to your family and friends, we’ve pulled together a guide. Here’s all you need to know: When does Spotify Wrapped tracking period end? Spotify Wrapped 2024 will soon be available So, you need to get that fix of Mariah Carey or Michel Buble early - or perhaps you are just dying to fire up Aqua’s greatest hits, but you don’t want them showing up on your Spotify Wrapped.

31.” And in 2022, Spotify tweeted in mid-October: “The only thing that we end on Halloween is eating candy corn. Stream (and snack) all through the year and we will see you in Wrapped season.

” Which pretty firmly pushes back on the idea that the tracking period ends in late October. Spotify does keep a tight lip on the exact details of the tracking period for its annual Wrapped roundups.
