After all the guessing and hoping, Spotify Wrapped 2025 is now official. The annual roundup of listening stats you can share with your friends is here, and I'll bet you're itching to let your friends know how many minutes you've been listening to your favorite artists.
There are new features, even more stats, scores and funky graphics, along with some new social stuff that's going to make or break dinner-time banter. It's a big one this year.
What's new?
There's plenty of new stuff to enjoy. First is the new design, which Spotify says is supposed to feel like "flicking through a magazine." There's a new black and white color scheme, with bold colors to highlight artist headshots, album covers, and other important stuff.
It looks super slick and, as always, it's an engaging way to interact with your stats. On top of the new design, there are extra statistics, some of which have been requested for a while.
Most-streamed album and other album-based numbers are now in Wrapped, so you can see which record you span the most. There are now minutes listed for artists, tracks, and albums for a more in-depth view of your listening habits.
Then there's the new listening age feature, which compares your listening stats to those of other users of the platform. Mine is 67, if you're interested, apparently thanks to Metallica.
There are also inclusions for audiobooks, a feature Spotify added two years ago. You can find out which audiobook you listened to the most, and you might even get a message from the author. You can also see what genre you like the most.
There are also stats around which podcast you had on repeat — good fun for those who like listening to something a bit more talky than tuneful.
We've also got more social features this time around, so that you can see how you compare to other Spotify users. There are Fan lists that pit artists' fans and their listening minutes against each other, which is quite fun.
Top Song Quiz makes a return, although Listening Archive is new. That gives you personalized information about specific days of the year, using AI to report on how much you discovered on up to five days.
There's something new called Clubs. You'll be put in a club based on your listening habits, and then given a role within that club. You might be a scout, for example, finding new tracks and adding them to your playlists.
Finally, there's Wrapped Party. This is a new feature that you can bring your friends around for, so that you can compare your stats directly. Think you listen to more music than your chums? Grab up to nine of them and create a wrapped party to see who really likes music.
There are loads of different rankings that you might get shown, and apparently, no two are the same. So if you lose, just offer them a redo!
How do I find it?
It's super easy to find wrapped. If you haven't already found the notification from Spotify in your phone, then you'll find Wrapped onn the home screen. If it's still not there, make sure you update your app.
Is there any AI this time around?
Well, there's no bizarre AI podcast if that's what you're thinking. There is a little AI, but it's tastefully sprinkled around to enhance the Wrapped experience. You'll find it in the Listening Archive for some storytelling and other spots. Nothing too invasive this time around, although I still wish these things were human-made. But that's just me.
