The highly anticipated Spotify Wrapped 2023 is set to release in a few days. The feature is basically a marketing campaign that the world-famous American music streaming platform carries out annually. It offers a look into the type of music and preferred artists who were streamed the most on the platform over the year.
Spotify Wrapped was first released in 2016. Until 2021, the streaming platform released the popular data-based artistically created throwback in the first week of December. In 2022, for the first time, Spotify dropped its Wrapped campaign in November.
All about Spotify Wrapped 2023
When will Spotify Wrapped 2023 be released?
Spotify Wrapped 2023 is expected to be released on 30 November, which is a Thursday. It was the same day last year when Spotify released Wrapped.
There is, however, a possibility that the year-in-review on music preferences will be dropped before 30 November as well.
As of 24 November, the official site and its social media accounts have not mentioned anything related to 2023’s compilation. The official site has the words “2023 Wrapped” on the homepage but carries a message informing users to remain in touch until the data is ready. The official site also carries a link redirecting users to the top songs of 2022.

Eligible users of Spotify will see a notification redirecting to their tailored Spotify Wrapped 2023 on their Android and iOS-based phones.
