Spotify Wrapped 2025 is now live for listeners worldwide, giving users a detailed look at the music, podcasts, and audiobooks that shaped their year. The annual roundup, available from December 3, is designed for anyone who uses Spotify regularly and wants a personalised snapshot of their listening habits. It also matters for artists and creators, who gain another window into how fans are engaging with their work.
Spotify says the 2025 edition is its most layered and interactive yet, with new stories, more personalised insights, and fresh ways to share year-in-review cards. Wrapped continues to be a major engagement event for the platform, driving social chatter and bringing users back to the app at the end of each year.
To access Wrapped, you must have streamed at least 30 songs for over 30 seconds each and listened to at least five different artists in 2025. Streams in Private Mode or those excluded from your Taste Profile are not counted.
Wrapped is available to Free and Premium users in nearly every market where Spotify operates. Update the Spotify app on iOS or Android, then open it and look for the Wrapped feed at the top of the Home tab. You can also search for ‘2025 Wrapped’ inside the app.

This year’s Wrapped includes shareable story cards for each insight. You can post them directly on social platforms or send them through Spotify Messages. Users who prefer a slower pace can adjust the playback speed of the experience or revisit specific cards without restarting.
Spotify has added almost a dozen new stories and features to the 2025 experience. These build on the usual elements such as top songs, top artists, minutes listened, and genre breakdowns.
Here are the biggest additions:
Wrapped favourites like Your Top Songs playlist also return, now showing how many times you played each of your top 100 tracks.
Spotify Wrapped analyses your listening from January to mid-November, a few weeks before the annual rollout. This window ensures the results feel current while giving Spotify enough time to process the data. The roundup covers music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Sessions in Private Mode and content excluded from your Taste Profile count toward your total minutes but are not used to shape taste-based stories. Background sounds such as white noise are filtered out so Wrapped reflects your real listening choices.
This metric adds up every minute you spent on Spotify. It includes Private Mode listening, content marked Exclude from Taste Profile, and tracks that do not appear in taste-based stories. The total reflects the time you actually listened, not the full length of a track or episode. For example, a podcast played at 2x speed counts only the minutes you were actively listening.
Listening Age is a playful data story rooted in the “reminiscence bump”, the idea that people feel most attached to music from their teenage and early adult years. Spotify looks at the release years of every song you streamed, then identifies the five-year period you listened to more often than others your age. Wrapped then hypothesises your ‘listening age’ by matching that period to the age someone would have been when those tracks were first released.
Listening Archive provides up to five AI-generated summaries of your standout listening days, such as Your Biggest Discovery Day, Your Biggest Listening Day, or Most Nostalgic Day. Spotify first checks whether you have had more than 20 days of significant listening and were eligible for at least two special categories. If you qualify, it selects the most relevant days and generates short reports highlighting the artists, podcasts, and audiobooks you heard on each.
Clubs reflect the emotional tone of your listening year. Spotify tags songs with descriptors based on the playlists they appear in, such as ‘heartbreak’ or ‘yearning’. These tags feed into six Club categories. Spotify calculates a score for each Club based on your streams and assigns you to the strongest match. Your role inside the Club is decided by how your habits compare with other listeners in that same group.
Wrapped has grown into a cultural event that shapes year-end conversations and encourages users to stay within Spotify’s ecosystem. The new focus on albums, creators, and audiobooks reflects Spotify’s strategy to position itself not just as a music platform but a broad audio service. Features like Fan Leaderboard and Clubs push deeper social engagement, which can help Spotify retain users in a competitive streaming market.
For listeners, the 2025 version offers more meaningful and playful data stories. For creators, it offers richer visibility and new touchpoints with fans. Meanwhile, Spotify benefits from increased sharing that drives organic promotion across social media. It also leans heavily on FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), as in if you don’t share yours, you feel like you’re missing out on a yearly ritual.
In short, Wrapped 2025 adds more depth, more community, and more ways to understand how you listened this year.
