Last updated: [DROP-DAY TIMESTAMP IST]
Spotify Wrapped 2026 is expected in early December. In 2025 it went live on 3 December (Mint, 3 Dec 2025). This page is India-first: the national top artists, songs and albums, what changed from 2025, and what the lists say about independent artists. We update it the hour the official lists go live.
When does Spotify Wrapped 2026 come out in India?
Spotify does not announce the date in advance. The 2025 edition went live on 3 December 2025 in India (Mint, 3 Dec 2025). To see your recap, open the Spotify app (Free or Premium) and look for the Wrapped card on Home, or search "2026 Wrapped". In 2025 you qualified if you had streamed at least 30 songs for more than 30 seconds each and played at least five artists (Hindustan Times, Dec 2025).

Storyline to confirm: 2025 was Arijit Singh's seventh straight year as India's most-streamed artist (Economic Times, Rolling Stone India). If he tops the list again, 2026 makes it eight straight years. If he doesn't, that change is the headline.
