Spotify Wrapped was launched in 2016 and has since become an annual tradition in which app users and artists get an insight into their music history of the year and artists can see how many times they were searched.
In 2018, Spotify Wrapped faced accusations that the annual list was a means of gaining free advertisement.
In 2020, Spotify Wrapped won several awards including the People’s Voice Awards for Music, Best Data Visualisation and Best User Experience.
