User data is collected from Jan. 1 through the fall of that same year to produce a user's Spotify Wrapped.

When does Spotify Wrapped stop tracking?

Because Spotify Wrapped is released ahead of Dec. 31, users may wonder when tracking of their listening habits concludes.

Though Spotify hasn't announced what date it will stop tracking listener data for Wrapped this year, the streaming service posted to X, formerly Twitter, last year that tracking would continue through Oct. 31.
