Spotify Wrapped 2025 Is Finally Here: Release Date, Features, and How to Check Yours

Spotify Wrapped 2025 has officially arrived. The popular annual recap feature dropped on Wednesday, December 3, giving millions of users worldwide a fresh look at their most-listened-to songs, artists, genres, and podcasts of the year.

This year’s launch closely followed Apple Music Replay, which rolled out on December 2. Spotify had teased the update with a December 1 social media post, hinting “Coming Soon” and advising users to update their app for the best experience — complete with a QR code.

If you’re new to Spotify Wrapped or simply want to know what’s changed this year, here’s everything to know about the 2025 edition.

Spotify Wrapped: A Global Music Tradition

Since its introduction in 2015 (then called Spotify Year in Music), Spotify Wrapped has grown into a cultural phenomenon. The feature transforms each user’s listening habits into a colorful, shareable story that highlights top songs, artists, genres, podcasts, and personal listening trends.

Spotify describes Wrapped as a “celebration of fans, artists, and creators,” offering a snapshot of how users’ tastes evolved throughout the year. Expect personalized summaries, fun insights, and sometimes even surprise messages from your favorite artists.

Spotify Wrapped 2025 Release Date

Spotify Wrapped 2025 launched on Wednesday, December 3.

The feature traditionally drops between late November and early December. Here’s a quick look at past release dates:

• 2025: Dec. 3

What Is Spotify Wrapped?

Spotify Wrapped compiles your listening history from January 1 until a few weeks before release to create an interactive recap. Wrapped typically includes:

• Top artists
• Top songs
• Favorite genres
• Total minutes listened
• Podcasts
• Special listening trends

And new features — such as 2024’s “Music Evolution,” which tracked listening phases

Users receive a pop-up in the Spotify app when Wrapped becomes available, and they can share their recap cards easily across social platforms.

When Does Spotify Stop Tracking Listening Data?

Spotify doesn’t publicly reveal the exact cutoff date, but company leadership has previously confirmed that listening data continues well beyond October 31 — contrary to online rumors.

According to Spotify’s senior director of personalization, the platform includes user activity “up until a few weeks before launch,” giving it the most complete snapshot possible.
