The best Spotify Wrapped alternatives for 2024
December is just around the corner, and that means Spotify Wrapped 2024 is coming soon. Each year, this music streaming service gives users an in-depth look at their favorite songs, artists, and podcasts from the past year.
The customization option, introduced in 2016, has turned into a yearly sensation as people eagerly showcase their music preferences.
While Wrapped is only available on Spotify, other streaming services also offer their own year-end summaries. If you use Apple Music, YouTube Music, or Deezer, here’s how you can revisit your musical experience from this past year.

Apple Music offers a monthly version of Wrapped, giving users the opportunity to access their music statistics more frequently rather than just once a year. This feature generates a playlist called the Replay Mix, showcasing the 100 songs they listen to the most, along with insights into the total time they've spent enjoying their music.
Billie Eilish, the alt-pop sensation, has been awarded Artist of the Year by a popular streaming platform. The 22-year-old expressed her gratitude, stating, "From the very beginning, Apple Music has been there for my music and creative journey. I feel truly honored and grateful to receive this recognition as Artist of the Year after so many years in my career."

It creates a personalized musical timeline, highlighting important moments from 2024. This year, for the first time, the app also showcases a summary of the podcasts that subscribers listened to the most.

Taylor Swift was recognized as the most-streamed artist globally on the app, surpassing French DJ David Guetta, singer-songwriter The Weeknd, and Billie Eilish. The hit song "Lose Control" by American artist Teddy Swims topped the global charts, while Eilish's album titled "Hit Me Hard and Soft" was named the most-played LP.
