Let’s be honest, who doesn’t play the good old Bollywood sound while running around the house in their pajamas doing chores? If what’s playing in your ears right now is your full-time job, then it wouldn’t really faze you if Pritam features on your coveted ‘Top 5 Artists’ list.

But for all the closeted Bollywood party animals and romantics, 2024 marks another year in which they will be unceremoniously exposed. It’s almost impossible to escape Pritam, and if you’re someone who’s kept up with the Spotify Wrapped tradition over the years, there’s a big chance you’ve fallen victim to it more than once. It really doesn’t matter how much Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake, Billie Eilish, Peso Pluma, or Ariana Grande you’ve listened to. Pritam probably has them all beaten when it comes to your listening minutes.

Either way, the internet has encoded the hilarity and trauma of this December rite of passage into memes, so scroll away!

As far as Spotify Wrapped’s big surprises go, things were decidedly more… boring this time around. “Wrapped” usually hits Spotify users like a dopamine wave of brain rot no later than December 1st. At least that has been the precedent for the last four years. This year, “Wrapped” arrived a full three days late on December 4th, and while it was still your personalized, music-driven roller coaster ride of fun facts about your listening habits that no one asked for but that you still absolutely needed to know, it was missing clearly at the “Oomph” with which it usually rolls in. We can’t know for sure, but several online think the massive wave of layoffs in tech could definitely play a role here. By comparison, Spotify laid off a staggering 1,500 employees last December, just before the holiday season, representing 17% of its workforce. Here are some food for thought.

Are you happy with your Spotify Wrapped this year?
