How to read it
- Announced is the minute Spotify’s own newsroom post went up. The app starts earlier: in 2025 the rollout began at about 12:00 UTC, an hour before the post (Newsweek live blog, 3 December 2025).
- Spotify’s page changed is the window in which spotify.com/wrapped switched from its teaser to the live page, from the two Internet Archive captures either side.
- After Thanksgiving counts days from US Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday of November.
- The 2016 and 2017 dates are not confirmed by a Spotify post, and sources disagree on 2017.
