It’s here, it’s finally here! Spotify Wrapped 2025 is live, and we’re spending all of our time swiping through our listening stats. There are loads of new features on board as well, so it looks like we’re in for an exciting year.
Despite some issues this year, it’s overall been a positive one for Spotify thanks to the firm's newfound rigor around restricting AI music, and the launch of Spotify Lossless. To round things out, Spotify Wrapped 2025 is a graphical memory to hit it home with users.
There are new social features in the form of Wrapped Party, which compares your stats with your friends and family to make dinner time really interesting. There are the returns of old favorites, as well as minutes listened to albums and songs.
We’re having loads of fun — here’s all the latest on Spotify Wrapped 2025.
How do I find my Wrapped?
It's simple to find your Spotify Wrapped and we'll give you a quick rundown before we get into the live updates.
If you haven't already found the notification from Spotify in your phone, then you'll find Wrapped on the home screen where it says All, Music, Podcasts, etc. If it's still not there, make sure to update your app and force quit it.
Are you excited for Spotify Wrapped 2025?
We’re excited about Spotify Wrapped, but what about you? Are you looking forward to seeing what kind of music you’ve been listening to this year, or do you not care at all about your listening habits? If past years are anything to go by, there are plenty of people who love Spotify Wrapped, so it’ll be interesting to see what this year looks like.
When did Spotify Wrapped drop last year?
We saw Spotify Wrapped launch on December 4th last year, so we think it's going to be any day now that it drops. You’ll get a notification when it does, likely on your phone. Keep checking back here, of course.
We’re on the clock all day to bring you the latest — and some fun extras. While we wait for Spotify Wrapped, why don’t you have a read of some of our other music streaming content:
It’s been a big year for Spotify
A whole load of stuff has happened for Spotify this year — some of it better than others. There have been price hikes in some territories, which have made an expensive service even more costly.
Some artists have left the service over links to conflict around the world, boycotting Spotify and removing their music. That’s not to mention the ongoing fight with AI, as the service pledges to make things better for hard-working artists who view AI as a threat.
But then there was the lossless launch, which brought a whole new way to listen for users. It’s not been all bad then — and with some luck, Wrapped 2025 is also going to be a highlight.
What about podcasts and audiobooks?
Spotify isn’t just about music anymore — there’s loads of content on the service to devour. We’ve got podcasts with some of the biggest names in the game, like the Joe Rogan Experience, along with audiobooks you can listen to.
Both have made appearances in Wrapped's past, but will there be anything new for listeners of non-music content? With a little luck, we’ll be seeing lists of audiobooks and podcast stats so that we can compare those alongside our music listening habits.
Look out for YouTube recapped!
Music isn’t the only thing you can get a look back on, as YouTube has rolled out a video version that lets you look back on what you watched throughout 2025.
You can see if it’s available for you at YouTube.com/recap or on the YouTube app on your Android or iOS device (make sure the app is updated). It’s a fun way to see what kept you entertained this year from a video perspective, but I still think Spotify Wrapped is more fun.
Are there other musical wrap-ups?
You know, it’s funny you ask. There certainly are other musical wrap-ups, found on alternative streaming services. Apple Music has Replay, which might not be as colorful or in-depth as Spotify Wrapped, but it still gives you plenty of interesting information about your listening.
Amazon Music has Delivered, which this year looks pretty interesting with its personalized music festival feature. Deezer and HiFi Streaming platform Tidal also have similar — so there are plenty of ways for everyone to see what they’ve been listening to this year.
Replay and Delivered went live yesterday (Dec 2nd) so if you use Amazon or Apple Music, then you can already dig into your yearly stats right now.
Wrapped has taken over… everything
I don’t wanna see your Spotify Wrapped. I wanna see your Wikipedia Wrapped
— @thesteffie.bsky.social (@thesteffie.bsky.social.bsky.social) 2025-12-03T10:09:56.781Z
So we know that most music streaming apps now do a Wrapped-style event, but the influence of this feature has really escaped the streaming realm. Yesterday, I got an email from my local theater telling me how many movies I’d been to in 2025.
And, according to a post by @thesteffie on Bluesky, even Wikipedia also now has its own year in review, with your total minutes read and most read stories.
Why was Spotify Wrapped controversial last year?
There was a great deal of talk last year about how Spotify Wrapped 2024 felt underbaked. The artwork looked like it had been totally AI-generated, the stats weren’t as revealing as previous, and the headline feature, the AI podcast, felt strangely impersonal.
Users were quick to voice their frustrations on social media. It’s perhaps a Wrapped for Spotify to forget, and start afresh with Wrapped 2025. We’re looking forward to seeing what Spotify does with the format this year, and whether there’s anything fresh and new. Here's hoping!
What do you think will be in your Wrapped?
The Tom’s Guide Team has already guessed what we think we’re going to see — and there are some surprises in there. Interestingly, there are quite a few metal heads at Tom’s Guide, but there are plenty of Taylor Swift fans. We’ll be waiting with bated breath to see if our predictions come true, or whether we’re in for a Spotify-surprise when Wrapped launches.
When does Spotify read my listening habits?
This was previously a murky pool of “maybe don’t listen to music you’re embarrassed about in February,” but now we know when Spotify sucks up all your listening data for Wrapped. It’s from January to November, so just know that you’re safe from everyone finding out about those Chris Rhea binges you get up to over the Holiday period. Don’t worry. You’re at least safe with us. Your friends? I wouldn’t say for certain, but Dan has a glint in his eye that tells us he can’t wait to judge you for your musical sins…
How many minutes did you listen to?
We’re in no way trying to judge here, but we’re just curious how many minutes of Spotify do you think you listened to this year? Are you a hardcore listener who spends almost every waking hour blasting your favorite tunes, or do you just throw Spotify on when the mood really strikes? Sound off in the poll.
Think you know Spotify? Test your knowledge!
Think you know everything there is to know about Spotify? Let’s test your knowledge with a quick quiz. There’s no prize for getting them all right, and we’ll never know if you cheated and looked at Google — but you’ll almost certainly feel an immense sense of pride if you get them all right legitimately. Know that you have my utmost respect, that’s for sure.
Get 4 months for free!
If you’re yet to sign up to Spotify Premium, then you’ll be pleased to know the service is currently offering a 4-month free trial for new subscribers. Which means you won’t need to start paying anything until April and can get a head start on 2026’s Spotify Unwrapped. Better yet, here’s how to use this offer to pay just $6 a month for Spotify Premium for the next 16 months.
Users just wanna have fun
In our story looking at when Spotify Wrapped might launch this year, our Audio Editor Tammy wrote that "It's loads of fun."
The tech news is often quite bleak and anxiety-inducing, so it's actually just quite nice to find a feature that pretty much everyone loves, it's not problematic (in itself, I know people have mixed feelings about Spotify) and is just there to share music with your friends.
Algorithms drive so much now, but when people start sharing their Wrapped overviews, it's essentially a modern form of mixtapes; these are the artists I like and the songs I enjoy. This is the aural universe I spend my time in.
Sometimes, you can just have nice things.
My year in review
Shh, don't tell anyone, but I mainly use... Apple Music for my streaming. So with Apple's yearly Replay roundup already live, I had a lot of fun poking around in my stats yesterday. I spent almost 1,500 minutes listening to my top artist (Sleep Token), and played my top track (Swoon by Fickle Friends) 61 times.
The data nerd in me was interested to spot that I've listened for more minutes this year, but the time was more spread between artists. Last year, I listened to Taylor Swift for almost 3,000 minutes (so twice Sleep Token in 2025).
Do you ever listen to last year's playlist?
Wrapped is (mostly) about all the fun ways to see who and what you enjoyed in the year. And it kinda makes sense that Spotify puts all your top tracks into a single playlist. But do you ever actually go back to previous Wrapped playlists?
For me, those songs became my top tracks because I really liked them, so I listened over and over again. But why would I want a playlist of what I used to be obsessed with, when I could spend my time discovering my new favorites?
Spotify Wrapped is here!
Spotify Wrapped has just dropped with loads of new features and a snazzy new look. We’ll be swiping through our results to find out which artists we listened to most this year — and what listening age we’re going to be given.
Don’t forget to get the whole family together so that you can share all your listening stats in person with Wrapped Party, the latest social feature from the service! As I said earlier, Wrapped is the new mixtapes, and I'm so excited to see the bands, podcasts and audiobooks people loved this year.
There's a friend's battle!
Spotify rolled out a new way to use its Party feature that lets you compare your Wrapped with up to 9 friends to see who listens to what the most.
Forgotten chart toppers
Going in Wrapped, I think we all have certain bands in mind that will top our Wrapped, but it seems like there's always that one song from an expected band that creeps its way into your top tracks.
We want to hear from you in the following poll: Did any surprises make their way into your top songs? For me, it was "If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn" by Sleeping with Sirens. I completely forgot how much I jammed to that song throughout the year.
Your minute guesses
Earlier, we put out a poll asking you how many minutes you think you listened to this year.
The most popular answer was 50,001-100,000, which took home 31% of the votes. Second was 10,001-50,000 with 27%. A shocking 13% thought they listened to 100,001-200,000 minutes, and 10% listened to more than 200,000 minutes.
The least popular option was 0-1000, which only had 2% of the votes.
Join the club
Spotify Wrapped introduced Clubs, and I'm a member of the Grit Collective, along with 9% of the Spotify listening community.
Which Club are you?
Club roles...
The Club system is quite fun to bring people with similar tastes together. Within each club, Spotify assigns you a role within the team.
If you're curious what the roles are and what each one means, here's a rundown:
- Leader: Your listening is strongly aligned with club values, making you a perfect role model.
- Scout: You listen to the freshest releases, always pushing your club forward.
- Archivist: Your listening delves into past eras, ensuring club history never fades.
- Curator: You’re a focused playlist creator, combining the best of your club into mixes.
- Collector: You often save music to your library, building a large club collection.
- Recruiter: You share music far and wide, bringing in frequent new club members.
- Loyalist: You rarely skip tracks, confirming your unwavering dedication to the club.
- Supporter: Your listening favors one artist, ensuring they’re heard around your club.
- Broadcaster: You listen to podcasts more than others, keeping club conversation alive.
- Specialist: You explore experimental sounds, refining your club’s sonic boundaries.

A more social experience
Spotify Wrapped has always been a social experience with people sharing their music with friends and loved ones, but this year, Spotify has taken steps to make it more social.
"We’re also bringing fans together with interactive features that transform your listening data into playful, shareable moments, and we’ve added new controls that let you adjust the speed of your experience and revisit specific moments without starting from the beginning," said Spotify in a blog post.
"As you explore your Wrapped, you’ll see share cards for your data stories. Simply click “share” to send them directly to your friends using Spotify Messages, or post them to your favorite social channels and let the world know what you’ve been listening to."
Wondering what other's got?
If you want a good place to check out other Spotify users' Wrapped, you can head to the Spotify Subreddit and this particular thread to see tons of people sharing theirs. It's amazing to see how much music is out there that you've never even heard of, but is beloved by some enough to be at the top of their list.
Spotify Wrapped impressions
Personally, I think this year's Wrapped is the best yet. Visually, it looks fantastic, and the deeper social integrations make it even more fun to share your music taste with your friends (and perhaps mock theirs).
With the competition feature, it's more fun to get with your friends than ever. Sure, you've always been able to share your Wrapped, and that's fun enough, but with Friend's Battle, it gets even crazier.
