The primary goal of Spotify Wrapped is to highlight your exceptional taste in music to your friends and the wider online community. However, how long does Spotify monitor your listening habits for this well-known year-end feature?
The precise release date of Wrapped remains uncertain — although we have a decent estimate — but there isn’t much time left to affect your favorite tracks.
Spotify hasn’t revealed when it ceases monitoring your listening behavior for Wrapped. It’s prudent to assume that Spotify incorporates your listening data up until the Wrapped release date, but additional details are available regarding when they may actually cease tracking.

When does Spotify cease tracking for Wrapped?
A speculation indicated that Spotify halted tracking for Wrapped at the close of October. The streaming platform refuted this speculation years ago, so it’s probable that tracking extends into November.
Mashable has asked about the tracking duration, but Spotify hasn’t disclosed the specific timeline. They do indicate that they strive to encompass as much time as feasible.
“We begin at the start of January with all your listening from the year’s onset, and it continues collecting data until a few weeks prior to launching Wrapped,” Molly Holder, Spotify’s senior director of product for personalization, informed Mashable last year.
“We seek to capture as much of your year’s listening as we can,” Holder further mentioned.
We do know that the timeframe following the release of Wrapped and before Jan. 1, 2026, is not monitored. Thus, once Wrapped is launched, feel free to indulge in your guilty pleasures.
