Spotify Wrapped 2025: Your year in music revealed, from top songs to your ‘listening age’

Fans can now find insights into their listening habits over the past year, as well as discover the biggest artists, albums and songs

Spotify has released its special “Wrapped” feature, which provides users with personalised analytics of their music listening habits from the past year.

The streaming service earlier issued a statement telling users to make sure their app is updated to ensure they are getting the full Wrapped experience when the 2025 version became available.

Users can now access Wrapped through the app’s home screen on iOS and Android, and also through the desktop version.

Features include users’ Top Genres as well as the Top Song Quiz, where fans are asked to guess which track they listened to the most in 2025. The service also generates a Top Songs 2025 playlist, which now shows how many times you streamed each of your top 100 tracks.

New additions to Wrapped include your “listening age”, which compares your musical tastes to others in your age group based on the release years of the songs you listen to most.

Wrapped is also spotlighting your top albums and audiobooks, with messages from authors such as James Patterson and Abby Jimenez to their biggest fans. The same goes for podcasts, as creators including Steven Bartlett, Mel Robbins and Amy Poehler thank listeners who tuned into their shows.

There is now a Fan Leaderboard, too, which places Spotify users in a ranking of the most dedicated listeners worldwide, based on the total minutes they spent listening to their favourite artists.

The music streaming service first released Spotify Wrapped in 2016. The statistics provide music fans with their top listened-to artists, albums, songs, podcasts and more to share with their friends.

How to access your personalised Spotify wrapped

For those interested in participating in the viral hype, you must be a Spotify subscriber. The feature will likely pop up automatically when you open the app. However, if it doesn’t, you can go to Spotify’s website or check out the “home” section of the app and Spotify Wrapped should be there.

There has previously been some confusion about whether music listened to beyond October is included in Wrapped’s data. In October 2023, Spotify confirmed on X that music listened to beyond 31 October does indeed count.

Women dominated music trends on Spotify in 2024, with Taylor Swift crowned the biggest artist of the year. All five of the biggest-streamed albums were by women, including Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Karol G and Ariana Grande.

When it came to podcasts, the controversial Joe Rogan Experience took the number spot on the global chart for the fifth consecutive year. Rogan’s podcast was followed by Call Her Daddy at number two, Huberman Lab at number three, This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von at number four, and The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett at number five.

Last year, Spotify also begun collating data for the biggest authors and audiobooks on the platform, along with its most-streamed podcasts: A Court of Thorns and Roses fantasy author Sara J Maas topped the list, followed by Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien and horror master Stephen King.
