Spotify has once again ignited the annual storm of excitement, self-dragging, and social media chaos with the release of Spotify Wrapped 2025, the streaming giant’s much-loved deep dive into users’ listening habits. Dropping on Wednesday morning, this year’s edition brings a mix of nostalgia, new features, and a few controversies bubbling beneath the surface — but none of that has stopped millions from racing to uncover the soundtrack of their year.

For the uninitiated, Spotify Wrapped is the platform’s yearly tradition that compiles each user’s most-played songs, artists, podcasts, and genres into a vibrant, story-style presentation. It has become an unofficial digital holiday — equal parts entertainment, digital confession, and cultural snapshot. And yes, whether you overplayed “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters or spent thousands of minutes looping rain sounds to sleep, Spotify has receipts, and Wrapped is not shy about showing them.

This year, Wrapped leans heavily into personalization. Users are sorted into new “listening clubs” like the Grit Club or Serotonin Club — playful labels based on your audio personality. The presentation now includes a race-style animation showing which artists surged or faded in your monthly streams, along with a breakdown of your total listening minutes, top genres, most-played songs, and your updated “listening age,” which reflects how generationally trendy your music taste is.

Spotify also finally delivered a feature fans have begged for: Top Albums of the Year, rounding out the data for users who consume full projects rather than singles.

How to Find Your Spotify Wrapped 2025

Wrapped is accessible through the Spotify mobile app and web browser. On the app, a large banner appears on the homepage as soon as Wrapped goes live. Users can also visit the dedicated Wrapped website or simply type “Wrapped” in the search bar.

Each slide of the Wrapped Story includes a “Share” button that lets users export the graphics to their camera roll or send them directly to social platforms like Instagram, X, and TikTok.

What’s the Listening Data Window?

Spotify continues to keep the Wrapped cutoff dates intentionally vague. While the company once revealed that data was collected from January through October, recent years have extended through late November — leaving users guessing about what actually made the final cut. That mystery hasn’t stopped people from trying to game the system, from avoiding holiday playlists to curating “clean-taste” playlists that don’t interfere with their stats.

Can You Edit Your Wrapped Results?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Still no — unless you Photoshop it like a certain American politician who preferred a Bruce Springsteen-flavored summary.

Users can exclude specific playlists from their taste profile throughout the year, such as children’s songs or sleep sounds, but Wrapped cannot be edited after release.

Who Dominated Spotify Globally in 2025?

Bad Bunny once again claimed the crown as the most-streamed global artist of the year, followed closely by Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Drake, Billie Eilish, and others. Swift, however, secured the No. 1 spot in the United States.

Wrapped vs. the Boycott

Spotify Wrapped arrives amid ongoing backlash over reports that the platform ran ICE recruitment ads and that CEO Daniel Ek invested in a defense technology firm, prompting some users to switch platforms. Alternatives like Apple Music Replay, Amazon Music Delivered, and YouTube Music’s annual recap attempt to compete — but none replicate the cultural weight of Wrapped.

Wrapped Parties

New this year is the interactive Wrapped Party, allowing users to compare their stats live with up to nine friends, react with emojis, and unlock group-based insights.
