The Oscar-winning actress specifically challenged the placement of João Gilberto as her top artist, stating she only played his music "a couple of times" during dinner parties throughout the year. "My data was not accurate," Paltrow told Yahoo News during a Goop Q&A session.

This high-profile skepticism adds to growing user concerns about Spotify's data reporting. Many listeners worldwide have questioned their own 2024 Wrapped results, particularly noting unexpected appearances of artists like Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter in their top listings.

Some users speculate that Spotify might be artificially inflating certain artists' popularity on the platform. Despite these controversies, Taylor Swift secured the No. 1 position on both UK and global Top Artists lists, alongside other major artists including:

  • The Weeknd
  • Billie Eilish
  • Drake
  • Ariana Grande
  • Bad Bunny

In the UK market, rock bands dominated the charts, with Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, The Smiths, Radiohead, and Gorillaz leading the rankings.

Numerous artists, including Billie Eilish, Usher, Sabrina Carpenter, and Mariah Carey, recorded personal thank-you messages for fans who featured them in their Spotify Wrapped playlists for 2024.
