Superstar thespian, Gwyneth Paltrow started a conspiracy theory that Spotify Wrapped lied about its listener data after the streaming giant revealed the artists and songs that individual users have listened to the most over the last 12 months.
Unfortunately, however, the 2024 totals gave way to global fans questioning the information presented, with many-a-listener insisting the music and artists listed were not their real top choices. As a result, the Oscar-winning Paltrow has added to the conspiracy theory by insisting her favorite musician was not represented in her end-of-year tally.
In a question and answer session with her lifestyle brand Goop, when was asked “What was on your Spotify wrapped?,” Gwyneth stated her displeasure at the Spotify results and replied:
“My data was not accurate.” “I listened to João Gilberto, like at dinner parties, but it has him as my number one artist, and that’s impossible because I had it on a couple times but not enough to warrant that spot.”
Throughout the course of 2024, Spotify faced a number of conspiracy theories from music fans with many wondering why Taylor Swift was featured in their most listened-to lists despite minimal listening to the multiple-Grammy award singer’s work.
Earlier this year, some fans complained that Spotify appeared to be disproportionately playing music by Sabrina Carpenter via the autoplay function leading many to believe that her popularity in 2024 had been inflated as a result.
