Spotify Wrapped gets new AI feature for 2024

The streaming giant says that for this year’s edition of its popular annual round-up it is taking personalisation to the “next level”. It includes revamps to the popular AI DJ and AI Playlist as well as a totally new feature: Your Spotify Wrapped AI podcast.

Your Spotify Wrapped AI podcast

On its website, Spotify explains: “this year, for the first time ever, Spotify is unveiling an AI podcast about your 2024 Spotify Wrapped music listening, built with Google’s NotebookLM. With this personalised Audio Overview, you can dive deeper into your top songs, artists, and genres—all delivered by two dynamic AI podcast hosts.

“Your Spotify Wrapped AI podcast will be available in English for eligible Free and Premium users for a limited time across the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, and Sweden.”

DJ: Wrapped

As a fan-favorite feature for premium subscribers, DJ: Wrapped brings even more context into the Wrapped experience, providing commentary about your year alongside the music that soundtracked it.

Also available in Spanish this year, DJ will tell you about your year in music listening, bring in expertise from our editors about the top tracks and artists of 2024, and tell you about your relationship with the DJ this year.

Wrapped AI Playlist

With the new AI Playlist feature, Premium users in select markets can turn their ideas into a personalized playlist. This year, AI Playlist will be a part of the Wrapped experience, so users can go beyond their Wrapped results by entering prompts like “my top 5 genres” or “artists similar to my top 5” to create a personalized playlist.

These features are an example of how we’re enhancing the shared cultural experience of Wrapped, reflecting how artists and creators have shaped our lives one note, one voice, one idea at a time.
