When and what time does Spotify Wrapped 2024 come out?

The big question everyone is asking is: When does Spotify Wrapped 2024 come out? Some users are even wondering about the exact time.

While Spotify hasn’t officially confirmed the release date, a recent teaser in the app mentions that the annual recap is “right around the corner.” Additionally, an analysis of previous release patterns provides some clues:

• Spotify Wrapped 2023: November 29 (Wednesday).
• Spotify Wrapped 2022: November 30 (Wednesday).
• Spotify Wrapped 2021: December 1 (Wednesday).

Based on this pattern, Wrapped is generally released on the last Wednesday of November or the first Wednesday of December. However, a recent announcement from Spotify Indonesia, mentioning a Wrapped concert scheduled for December 5, has led many to speculate that the global release could be on Wednesday, December 4.

Meanwhile, some U.S. media outlets claim the release could be this Wednesday, November 27, on the eve of Thanksgiving 2024.
