Spotify Wrapped 2024 is out, giving hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to see their most played songs and artists throughout the year.

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

This year, Spotify added additional artificial intelligence features to improve individual users’ Wrapped experiences, including personalized AI podcasts via users’ music listening history, a feature powered by Googles NotebookLM and is the result of an expanded partnership between the two companies.

Last month, Spotify reported earnings that included an optimistic fourth-quarter profit forecast, although it missed 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, slightly beating analysts’ expectations.

Taylor Swift is Spotify’s top global artist for the second year in a row, dominating the world’s most-streamed album charts with “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,” and Sabrina Carpenter’s hit “Espresso” is the most-streamed song globally and nationally.

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

The 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 become the second most streamed song in the country this year. Drake, Lamar’s opponent in another public rap battle earlier this spring, rose up the list of most-streamed artists, while Lamar landed at seventh place on that list.

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

Both appearances represented a significant shift in presidential campaign strategies toward non-traditional media channels and reached millions of listeners weekly.
