When will Spotify Wrapped 2023 be released? History suggests very soon

Spotify Wrapped 2023 is certainly coming soon as the music streamer has started dropping some strong hints about the annual roundup (like the logo above). But when exactly will this be released? While we don’t know for sure, we can make some educated guesses based on recent history.

Over the past five years, Wrapped has been released on the dates in the table below. There are two trends that give us a hint about the Spotify Wrapped 2023 release date. First, it’s gradually arriving earlier each year, most recently in the last week of November.

Wrapped has also been published on Wednesdays for the past three years. So if we combine these two trends with this year’s data, the most likely launch date is Wednesday, November 29.

Of course, Spotify could choose to change course this year and go back to December, but right now that’s probably the date to check your iOS or Android app for that Wrapped preview card.

Spotify is starting to build up the hype for its annual survey of your music listening habits, asking fans on Twitter for photos describing what their Wrapped will look like (below). It has been too asking artists to record 30-second video messages which will be delivered to their closest fans when Wrapped lands.

Some Spotify users will also see all the Wrapped push notifications disappear that show how many songs they listened to this year. What’s not yet clear is whether Spotify plans to launch any new features for its annual roundup – but if the dates above are any guide, we may only have to wait a few days to find out.

How do you find Spotify Wrapped 2023?

The typical way to find Spotify Wrapped is on the front page of the iOS and Android apps – it usually appears as a card in your ‘home’ feed. There are often regional differences as to when exactly the app will roll out, so you may need to be patient, but it’s a good idea to prepare by upgrading to the latest version of the app.

Because Spotify Wrapped uses a lot of web-based technologies, it often takes you out of the app and into a browser to show you all the fancy animations. For example, last year it revealed your listening personality (based on various statistics) and gave us an interactive story called Audio Day, which revealed which songs we listened to the most at different times of the day.

Considering how big Spotify Wrapped has become, we can expect to see more new features like this coming this year. And while you wait, you can always listen to playlists of the songs from your previous Wrapped recaps by going to the app’s search bar and typing “spotify:genre:2018” (or whatever year you want to revisit).
