Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for this year’s Wrapped, users must have listened to at least 30 songs for over 30 seconds each and explored a minimum of five different artists during 2025. This ensures that your Wrapped reflects a diverse range of your listening preferences.
New Features in 2025
This year’s Wrapped includes familiar elements like total minutes listened, top songs, top artists, genres, and podcasts. However, Spotify has introduced several exciting new features to enhance user engagement. For instance, you’ll receive a ‘thank you’ video from one of your top artists, with contributors like Bad Bunny and Glass Animals among them.
One standout addition is the fan leaderboard, which ranks you among other listeners of your favorite artist based on total minutes streamed. Additionally, users will receive a unique ‘listening age’ that compares their habits to those of others in their age group. If you tend to enjoy older tracks, your listening age may reflect that.
Interactive Features
Spotify Wrapped 2025 also invites users to guess their most played song through a multiple-choice question. Another new feature visualizes how your top five artists have shifted in rankings over the months. Moreover, users are sorted into six ‘clubs,’ reflecting different listening styles, such as the Full Charge Crew for high-energy playlists or the Soft Hearts Club for slower ballads.
Personalized Experiences
An annual highlight is the personalized playlist featuring your top 100 songs of the year, now enhanced with a count of how many times each track was played. This year, Wrapped also showcases users’ top albums and audiobook genres, along with recorded messages from favorite authors and podcasters.
Listening Archive and Wrapped Party
New to this year’s offering is the Listening Archive, providing snapshots of memorable listening days, powered by AI. Users receive up to five unique reports summarizing their most notable streaming days.
The Wrapped Party feature allows friends to join a virtual room to compare their listening stats in real-time. By creating a party within the app, users can invite others and discover who streamed the most minutes or found the rarest listens. Each party also receives an award reflecting the group’s listening habits.
The Legacy of Spotify Wrapped
Spotify Wrapped has evolved significantly since its inception in 2015, initially branded as ‘Year in Music.’ The platform has continuously refined its design and personalization, making it a highly anticipated annual event. Spotify collects listening data from January 1 through November to prepare these insights. Despite speculation about when tracking stops, Spotify reassures users that listening habits are monitored well beyond Halloween.
