Music streaming platform Spotify dropped their highly anticipated annual feature— ‘Wrapped,’ and social media users on X (formerly known as Twitter) are disappointed and underwhelmed with this year’s features.
This year’s Wrapped shows the yearly statistics of each user, containing their top 5 artists and top 5 songs.
Much like the platform’s Wrapped last year, a message from the users’ top artist also plays at the end of the slides, thanking its listeners.
Social media users expressed their disappointment on X for this year’s Wrapped as they deemed it as rushed and lazy.
“Why was wrapped kind of underwhelming?? where’s the minute stats? genre rank?? everyone else’s thank you videos?? spotify wrapped playlist link???” one social media user said.
Another social media user said, “the way you can tell spotify rushed this wrapped like where’s the genres and personalities stuff like last year😔.”
“This has to be fake this is actually the worst spotify wrapped ever in terms of graphics and data all included,” a third social media user said.
Social media users also said that this year’s promo for the feature is far better than Wrapped itself.
how is this promo better than the actual wrapped 😭 https://t.co/R6XAC4oKPg

Filipinos are taking to social media to share their Wrapped results, with many amusingly expressing their dissatisfaction as their guilty pleasures are laid bare.

This caught the attention of OPM singer HevAbi, and he talked about it in his Instagram stories.
Spotify also added Spotify Wrapped AI podcast, a new feature added alongside their old AI-powered features, AI DJ, and AI playlist.
This, however, did not sit right with various social media users as they expressed their dismay at the new AI feature.
“Ah, that’s why this year wrapped f****** sucked. I didn’t want to see random words, just normal genres, come on, ugh. AI always ruining everything!” one X user said.
Another social media user said, “Spotify wrapped was NOT worth the hype this year —no quirky interactive bits or silly personality assessments, and they didn’t even bother to make a “your top songs 2024” playlist for us this year ?!”
This year’s top artist globally by Spotify is Taylor Swift, while the top song of the year is ‘Espresso’ by Sabrina Carpenter.
