These days, users can find a video in the Spotify app with statistics about their personal listening preferences over the past year. Spotify Wrapped 2024 is here. But contrary to the great anticipation, dissatisfaction is spreading on Twitter and Reddit.
Missing features
Last year was somehow better, was the tenor among Reddit users about Wrapped 2024. At least the scope of the annual review has actually shrunk: In 2023, Wrapped listed 20 segments, this year only a measly 13. Especially the simple statistics like the top genres seem to be missing:

More AI should fix it
In some countries, Spotify will have new AI features in 2024: In addition to thisAI DJ
and theAI Playlist
Wrapped 2024 will also deliver an AI-supported podcast: Here, personal preferences from the past year will be commented on by an AI voice. All three features are not yet available for Germany, but judging by the community, they don't seem to be a big hit either.

At least for Twitter user greatestselena, the AI podcast is not a satisfactory replacement for the missing feature.
But German users will also be able to enjoy Spotify AI in 2024. Because instead of the top genres that have been eliminated, the AI produces a personal oneMusic Evolution

The competition never sleeps
Spotify has published Wrapped every December since 2016, an annual review that is eagerly awaited on social media. Despite the many negative reactions, #SpotifyWrapped2024 is also trending on Twitter. The success in social media has now also brought the competition onto the scene: one day before Spotify Wrapped, Apple Music is offering its subscribers a personalized annual review for the first time with Apple Music Replay 2024.
