Background
Spotify is technically celebrating its 20th birthday, marking two decades since the company was founded—not the 2008 launch date (the service didn’t arrive in the US until 2011).
Party of the Year(s)
The celebration includes a feature called Party of the Year(s), which functions like Spotify Wrapped but covers a user’s entire history on the platform. The experience shows:
- The first day the user streamed on Spotify
- The total number of unique songs listened to
- The first song streamed
- The most‑streamed artists
- A playlist of the user’s top 120 songs
Like Wrapped, users receive a custom share card with this information, which can be posted on social media or sent to friends.
How to Access
The feature is only available in the mobile app (not the web player). To open it, launch the app and search for “Spotify 20” or “Party of the Year(s)”.
