So, How Many Minutes Did You Listen?
First things first—how much music did you actually consume this year? I clocked in at 30,253 minutes. That’s a lot of tunes! Whether you listened more or less, it’s always fun to see that total number. It puts into perspective just how much music accompanies our daily lives.

One standout feature is “Your Music Evolution”, a data-driven story of the music phases you went through over the course of the year. With up to three distinct phases, it’s a fun way to see how your listening habits changed. It’s quite fitting for 2024, a year where artists like Taylor Swift broke records with her “Eras Tour,” inspiring people to think about their own “eras.”
Spotify has also added listening streaks to its year-end report. This feature shows how many days in a row you tuned into a certain artist. It’s like getting a badge of honor for your dedication!
The share button got a makeover, too. Now, when you share a song or album, it shows whether it’s on your top-listened-to list. It’s a neat way to let your friends know just how much you love that track.
AI Takes Center Stage on Spotify Wrapped
Spotify jumped into the artificial intelligence game this year with its AI DJ feature, which is now also offered in Spanish. This feature curates a playlist just for you, using AI to pick songs you might love. Now, AI DJ is integrated into Wrapped, allowing Premium users to search for music with prompts like “Find me more artists like my top listened to.”
This year’s Wrapped also includes a specialized AI podcast that gives you a rundown of your listening habits, powered by Google’s Notebook LM. It’s like having a personal radio show about your musical taste!
