Every year, Spotify gives its subscribers a chance to reflect on their listening habits for the past 12 months with Spotify Wrapped. The cool feature offers an insight into the songs, artists, albums and podcasts people across the globe have consumed throughout the year and provides each user with a deep dive into their own tastes. 

The results are celebrated and shared all across social media, no matter how revealing or embarrassing they might be. But regardless, Spotify Wrapped release day has become a fun event among music lovers who mostly display their achievements with pride as a form of celebration of their favorite tunes. 

2022 is coming to an end, and with it, your Spotify music stats. But when exactly does Spotify Wrapped come out? And how does the giant music streaming collect that data? 

When will this year’s Spotify Wrapped come out?

The company’s yet to officially announce when their Spotify Wrapped feature will come out in 2022. However, the predicted date is December 1st, as it was the previous two years. The feature will only include the songs you’ve streamed from January 1 until October 31. That means that streams from November 1 until December 31 are not factored in the count.

Justin Bieber’s feat. with The Kid LAROI entitled “Stay” came in third, followed by another Olivia Rodrigo song, “Good 4 U”. Rounding up the top five was Dua Lipa’s “Levitating”.
