  • Spotify has not shared how it tracks listening statistics or the metrics it uses to lead to Wrapped. TODAY.com has reached out to Spotify for comment. An article on the website says the creation of its annual roundup is " truly art and science working side by side ."

The article from Today.com discusses the controversy surrounding Spotify Wrapped 2024, where users share their annual music listening statistics. This year's rollout has sparked debate due to several issues. Firstly, some users reported inaccuracies in their Wrapped data, with songs and artists appearing that they claim not to have listened to. Secondly, there's been criticism over Spotify's decision to include "sound towns," a feature that matches users' listening habits to cities, which some found irrelevant or confusing. Additionally, the timing of Wrapped's release has been contentious, as it traditionally comes out in December, but this year it was released earlier, leading to speculation about Spotify's motives, possibly linked to upcoming changes in their service or pricing. Lastly, the environmental impact of the physical Wrapped merchandise has also come under scrutiny, with critics arguing that the promotion of physical items contradicts Spotify's sustainability goals.
