    December can skew the wrap though. People will listen to more holiday music in December, they might use their spotify for Xmas parties, while wrapping presents, or just listen to it because 'tis the season. Suddenly Mariah Carey is contending for a top 10 artist and holiday music could be one of your top genres.

      So they just ignore December altogether, not even rolling it into the next year?

      So it isn’t really about the year, just 11 months.

        That’s pretty much the year. Like they will have to cut off the data collection at some point. Because, well, when the wrapped Playlist comes out, you’re probably going to listen to that Playlist a few times, to recap your year, which would drive more data for those songs.

        I dunno, just seems like a silly thing to worry about. “Oh my gosh they only captured 11 months of my listening! How will I know that I went from Taylor Swift non-stop for 11 months and then nothing but Mayhem for all of December!!” It’s a personal record of what you listened to throughout the year, and its kind of fun to see, but it has no actual bearing on your music taste. You still like what you like.
