It’s that time of the year when music artists and fans alike are sharing Spotify Wrapped artworks on their socials, and you might be one of the two, but with no idea of how to get those artworks. Worry no more, as long as you are a music listener using the Spotify App or an artist with music on Spotify, there’s a #SpotifyWrapped artwork waiting for you. Here’s how you get it and how you can use.
#1. Spotify Wrapped for Music Artists
Log in to the Spotify for Artists app on your phone or website on Desktop. Wrapped appears as a banner on the home tab once Spotify rolls it out between late November and early December. You tap the banner to open your personalised Wrapped story.
If you don’t see Wrapped immediately, your account might need to be verified. Verification takes a short time. Once confirmed, your profile gets full access to analytics. You need at least one song released during the year to generate Spotify Wrapped; otherwise, you’ll be left out.
What is Spotify Wrapped For?
Wrapped gives you numbers you can use to push your brand as an artist. You see how many people listened to your songs, how many hours they streamed, and which markets drove your growth. You also see whether your music appeared in playlists or hit big spikes during promotions. These insights help you make decisions. In the last 12 months, did you release more singles? Did you target a country where your streams have increased? Did you double down on a style that connected with listeners?
With your stats, Spotify Wrapped cards are shareable. Artists use these artworks on Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook to build hype. It’s an easy way to show growth and thank your fans. As proof of movement, many artists use these artworks to attract new listeners.
Tips for stronger results for Wrapped 2026: Plan ahead and release music consistently. Promote your songs on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Encourage fans to save your songs because saves improve Spotify’s algorithm signals. Pitch your releases to Spotify editorial playlists through Spotify for Artists. Ask yourself what worked this year. Did a particular song invite in more listeners? Did a specific country respond more? Use the data to shape your next release strategy.
You can also compare your Wrapped data with your monthly analytics. This helps you understand long-term patterns. Did your streams spike after a show? Did a collaboration drive new listeners? These questions push you to refine your approach.
#2. Spotify Wrapped for Music Listener
For music fans, Spotify Wrapped is something else. Besides showing your top artists, most-played songs, minutes listened, and favourite genres in the year, these artworks are the easiest ways to get recognised by your artist through retweets on X and story shares on Instagram.
Free and premium users alike, Spotify Wrapped appears inside the main Spotify app. As a listener, you don’t need a special account or any setup. You only need to have used Spotify during the year.
Open the Spotify app on your phone. When Wrapped is released every year between November 29 and December, a big banner appears on the home screen. You tap it to open your Wrapped story. You can also search for “Wrapped” in the app if the banner doesn’t show immediately.
If you barely used your Spotify account, your Wrapped might not generate.
