Why is Spotify so keen on artist involvement? Well, the platform is well aware of the power of Wrapped. In 2023, over 225 million listeners across 170 markets engaged with Wrapped content, marking a 40% increase from the previous year. This year, Spotify is expecting even higher engagement, with more than 40,000 artists creating custom clips that generated nearly 725 million video views.
The impact of Wrapped goes beyond the initial hype, as it serves as a powerful tool for artists, especially those striving to build a strong fanbase. It offers a unique platform for artists to engage directly with their listeners, strengthening those connections and fostering a sense of community.
Spotify’s commitment to creating a robust and interactive platform for both listeners and artists is evident in its continued growth. As of July 2024, Spotify boasts 626 million monthly active users, representing a 14% year-over-year increase. The platform’s Premium tier, offering ad-free listening, high-quality audio, and exclusive features, continues to attract subscribers, with about one-third of its user base opting for the paid service.
