Spotify Wrapped 2024 is out, giving hundreds of millions of users the ability to see their most-played songs and artists over the course of the year.

The annual report, which allows users to compare their music listening habits with other fans around the world, on Wednesday began rolling out to all users on the streaming platform.

This year, Spotify added additional artificial intelligence features to enhance individual users’ Wrapped experiences, including personalized AI podcasts about users’ music listening histories, a feature powered by Google’s NotebookLM and stemming from an expanded partnership between the two companies.

Last month, Spotify reported earnings that included optimistic profit guidance for the fourth quarter, despite missing analysts’ third-quarter targets for both revenue and earnings per share. The company also said it had about 640 million monthly active users on the platform, which slightly surpassed analyst expectations.

Taylor Swift is Spotify’s Global Top Artist for the second year in a row, dominating the most-streamed global albums chart with “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,” and Sabrina Carpenter’s hit song “Espresso” is the most-streamed song both globally and nationally.

Here are some of this year’s chart-toppers:

Most-streamed songs in the United States

  1. “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter
  2. “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar
  3. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey
  4. “I Had Some Help (Feat. Morgan Wallen)” by Post Malone
  5. “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” by Tommy Richman

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” skyrocketed to second-most-streamed song in the country this year. Drake, Lamar’s opponent in a renewed public rap battle earlier this spring, surged on the most-streamed artists’ list, while Lamar ended up in seventh place on that list.

“The Joe Rogan Experience,” which hosted President-elect Donald Trump in October, took the No. 1 spot for top podcasts worldwide. “Call Her Daddy,” which hosted Vice President Kamala Harris that same month, took second place.

Both appearances represented a distinct shift in presidential campaigning strategies toward non-legacy-media outlets, reaching millions of weekly listeners.
