Spotify once again rolled out its popular Wrapped campaign today (Dec. 4), unveiling its annual Spotify for Artists report alongside personalized insights for fans. The 2024 Wrapped campaign introduces enhanced tools, new features and cutting-edge AI integrations designed to deepen engagement between creators and their audiences.

“While Wrapped for Artists has always been a fun way for artists to look back on their year and celebrate with fans, we’re always looking to enhance the experience,” shares Madeleine Bennet, Head of Global Music Go-to-Market for Spotify. “The Spotify for Artists team has been super focused on helping artists build stronger connections with their listeners around new music releases, especially through tools like playlist pitching, Countdown Pages and Clips. Because releasing new music is such a crucial moment, this year’s Wrapped will put a special emphasis on these milestones.”

For artists, Spotify for Artists offers a dedicated microsite with shareable visuals and personalized data stories, including top listeners, most-streamed tracks and new insights like top-performing Clips and biggest release weeks. Songwriters, podcast creators, and—new this year—authors also have their own Wrapped experiences, complete with interactive microsites and share cards tailored to their audiences.

AI plays a bigger role this year, with Spotify launching a personalized AI podcast summarizing users’ top music and an AI DJ providing commentary on listening habits in English and Spanish. Premium users can create customized playlists using Wrapped data via the AI Playlist feature, further personalizing their experience.

Fans are treated to expanded data stories, such as “Your Music Evolution,” which highlights listening trends across the year and generates a corresponding playlist. TikTok integration allows users to share Wrapped results directly on the platform, extending Spotify’s reach into new spaces.

On a global scale, Taylor Swift claimed the title of Spotify’s most-streamed artist for the second year in a row, with The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology earning the top album spot. Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” was the most-streamed song globally, while The Joe Rogan Experience dominated the podcast charts for a fifth consecutive year. Spotify also highlighted the rise of audiobooks, with Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series topping the charts amid a growing trend of book-to-screen adaptations.

On the country front, Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen appeared in the most-streamed artist top 10 in the U.S., as well as the top-streamed albums. Shaboozey‘s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” sits at No. 3 on the most-streamed songs list, with Wallen and Post Malone‘s “I Had Some Help” at No. 4 and Bryan and Kacey Musgraves‘ “I Remember Everything” at No. 9.

Spotify’s global celebration includes localized features like on-platform Easter eggs, augmented reality tools, and installations in cities worldwide. Wrapped 2024 highlights the platform’s expanding focus on personalized experiences and creative tools for artists, fans, and creators alike.

Victoria Goodvin & Tristan Scaife

Little Extra Music has hired Victoria Goodvin to represent the company’s catalog and Tristan Scaife, son of the late Joe Scaife, who will work alongside Goodvin.

A Princeton, North Carolina native, Goodvin moved to Nashville to study at Belmont University. She discovered music publishing, which allowed her to work directly with her passion for songs, storytelling and creators. Her past industry stops have included positions at Song Factory Music, Row Entertainment, Liv Write Play and Wide Open Music.

“After Joe’s passing, his family and I spent some time together and realized that we weren’t done with this company and this catalog,” says Little Extra Music co-founder Lisa Ramsey-Perkins. “Joe’s son Tristan has a great musical ear, much like his father. What better way to honor Joe than to continue his musical legacy with Little Extra Music? There are some great songs in the catalog that deserve to be heard. Having Victoria on board to work this catalog is a gift! Her knowledge and passion for music is invaluable.”

Little Extra Music was founded in 2013 by the late award-winning producer and engineer Joe Scaife and music industry veteran Ramsey-Perkins. The company’s catalog boasts over 100 cuts including the BMI and ASCAP award-winning, six-week No. 1 single “She Got The Best Of Me” by Luke Combs and BMI award-winner and top 10 single “You Broke Up With Me” by Walker Hayes.

Ty Myers will release his debut album, The Select, on Jan. 24 via RECORDS Nashville/Columbia Records.

Produced by Brandon Hood and Tommy Detamore, the 16-track project will feature the already released tracks “Ends Of The Earth,” “Drinkin’ Alone,” “Worry Is A Sickness” and “Tie That Blinds.” Myers is credited as the sole writer on 12 of the songs, with additional writing credits from John Mayer, Jessi Alexander, Rhett Akins and more.

The album’s title is a tribute to Le Select, a Parisian brasserie once frequented by Ernest Hemingway, one of Myers’ literary idols, reflecting its emotional depth, much of which stems from his raw lyrics. With uplifting anthems and heartbreak ballads, Myers weaves his deeply introspective musings on love’s many facets into every song.

The Select will be available in two different formats, a 16-song digital edition available on Jan. 24, and a limited signed 10-song CD and vinyl edition, out on March 28.

The album announcement wraps up a monumental 2024 for Myers, who is currently averaging nine million streams per week. He recently wrapped up his sold-out, headlining “Let ‘Em Talk Tour,” and premiered his “Ends Of The Earth” music video last week after fan demand made Myers move up the track release date.

1. “Ends of the Earth” (Ty Myers)*
2. “Real World Now” (Ty Myers)*
3. “Worry is a Sickness” (Ty Myers)*
4. “Let ‘Em Talk” (Ty Myers, Anderson East, Trent Dabbs)*
