It just occurred to me that Spotify avoids the problem of how to filter out the popularity of Christmas music from Wrapped by doing it in November.

I imagine lots of clever technical solutions were proposed until some Mentos Fresh style problem solver was like why not just skip December?

@carnage4life I find this really annoying, in a very low stakes way of course. Like releasing best of the year lists in November. A lot of great music and movies come out in December!

Don’t worry, once people realize that Spotify devalues music released in December, labels will stop releasing new music in December!
