Speaking to Yahoo News during a Goop Q&A session, Paltrow specifically challenged her top artist designation: "I listened to João Gilberto at dinner parties, but it has him as my number one artist, and that's impossible because I had it on a couple of times, but not enough to warrant that spot."

This high-profile criticism joins widespread user skepticism about Spotify Wrapped 2024, with many listeners questioning the appearance of certain artists in their year-end statistics. Some users have suggested that Spotify may be artificially boosting specific artists' rankings, particularly noting frequent appearances by artists like Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter in seemingly unrelated playlists.

Notable 2024 Spotify achievements include:

  • Taylor Swift ranking #1 on both UK and global Top Artists lists
  • Strong showings from The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Drake
  • UK-specific popularity for Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, The Smiths, Radiohead, and Gorillaz

In response to their Wrapped rankings, numerous artists including Billie Eilish, Usher, Sabrina Carpenter, and Mariah Carey recorded personal thank-you messages to fans who had them in their top artists list.
