Three ways to get monthly Spotify wrapped!
Here are three ways to get Spotify Wrapped early each year!
1. Stats.fm: I use this app often. It’s the most accurate in terms of stats in my opinion in terms of apps doing it for you. The app is free but there are in-app purchases. I bit the bullet and did the one time premium payment when I got it. But it gives really cool stats and you can have friends! It works for Spotify and Apple Music too!
2. Receiptify: i personally don’t find this one as accurate. It shows what is played even if you skip it. I don’t listen to Hamilton that much but it stays on my top list because Spotify plays Hamilton often even if I skip it when it starts. Not just on here but stats.fm too 🤦🏻♀️ but I think the aesthetic of it is really cool so I’ll get it that.
3. Manually: I personally love making my own Spotify wrapped each year. I have been doing this for couple years now and i really enjoy doing it myself. It’s most accurate because I’m controlling what I put in there and I get to customize the playlist cover to my liking! Each month I make a new playlist and any songs I just like to listen on repeat goes on the playlist. At the end of the month I add the songs on the monthly playlist to the yearly playlist and boom! I have my own Spotify wrapped playlist that I can listen to at any time. I may not get the stats out of it but I like looking back to what I liked earlier in the year!
Whichever you choose to do, there’s truly no right or wrong answer. Do what is right for you!

I've always been one to obsess over my music listening habits, and waiting until the end of the year for Spotify Wrapped just feels too long! If you're like me, constantly curious about your top tracks, listening minutes, and artist discoveries, you're in luck. Beyond the super-popular Stats.fm and aesthetic Receiptify, there are so many ways to keep tabs on your musical journey throughout the year. Let's dive a little deeper into making the most of these tools and even creating your own ultimate personalized music recap. For those who love the visual appeal, Receiptify is fantastic for generating that trendy 'music receipt.' While the original post mentioned it might not always feel 100% accurate because it can include skipped songs, you can still influence your 'receipt' by being mindful of what you let truly play out. I often use it at the end of the month to get a quick snapshot of my listening, specifically looking at the 'last month' option. It’s perfect for sharing on social media and gives a fun, retro vibe to your top tracks and artists. Think of it as a stylish, brief overview of your current rotation. Now, if you're a data enthusiast like me, Stats.fm is an absolute game-changer. Connecting your Spotify (or even Apple Music) account gives you access to a treasure trove of information. You can see your exact 'listening minutes' for any given period, track your 'top tracks' and 'top artists' not just monthly, but weekly or even daily! I love diving into the detailed analytics, like how 'danceable' my music choices are, or seeing how my genre preferences shift throughout the year. It's incredibly satisfying to watch my stats evolve and discover hidden gems among my most-played songs. It truly helps you understand your musical DNA. But for the ultimate personalized experience, nothing beats creating your own 'Spotify Wrapped.' The original article touches on making monthly playlists, and I can't stress enough how rewarding this method is. Imagine having a 'yearly playlist' filled with all your favorite songs from January to December. I start by making a new playlist each month, like 'January 2024 Jams,' and add any song that I find myself playing on repeat. At the end of the month, I consolidate these into a larger, overarching '2024 favs' playlist. This way, I have a constantly growing collection of my year's best music. You can even customize your 'playlist covers' to match your aesthetic, making it feel like a true 'Spotify Wrapped collage' of your year. It's a fantastic way to look back and relive those musical moments, and it feels truly authentic because you're curating every single track. This manual approach ensures your 'spotify wrapped receipt' feels exactly right, reflecting only what you truly loved.
