Spotify users can find their "Party of the Year" by searching "Spotify 20" or "Party of the Year" in the mobile app or by visitingspotify.com/20on their mobile device.
Spotify did not provide an exact date on when the original logo will return in an email to USA TODAY on May 20, but stressed the disco ball logo was always temporary.
