It makes sense for Spotify to have this social media phenomenon every year considering the dozens of features it has. However, some of you are probably wondering how does Spotify curate the data and insights? The platform gathers data from qualified users which they define as anyone who has an account by November 15th and listened to at least five different artists and at least 30 different songs. Streams are also counted only if the user listens for at least 30 seconds.
