Depending on how long you have had your Spotify account this could stretch back all the way to 2016 - the first year Wrapped in its current form debuted. Personally mine goes back as 2018, which is still six years of old favourites to dive into.
Playlists linked to prior Wrapped years also appear - such as Best of the Decade For You from 2019.

Unfortunately you cannot see the Wrapped features from previous year in the app, meaning you can’t see all the old statistics that came with them. But Your Top Song playlists will likely steer you towards the kinds of artists you were listening to in years gone by.
On the Spotify Community forum, one ‘community legend’ explains: “Downloading the slides or taking screenshots is one way of keeping the memories for a long time.” This means at the time that a new Spotify Wrapped drops - so maybe take screenshots when Wrapped 2024 is available for future posterity.
The playlist that gives Wrapped hint
If you search Wrapped in the Spotify app it will bring up the ‘On Repeat’ playlist as well as your ‘Top Songs’ of previous years. It shows you a list of the songs you ‘love right now’ and it could provide a few hints of what might appear in your Wrapped roundup later in the year.
