What’s New in Spotify Wrapped 2025
This year’s Wrapped represents a significant evolution, incorporating user feedback from 2024’s AI-heavy release. Spotify has brought back beloved data-driven features while introducing exciting new ways to explore and share your listening habits.
Brand New Features for 2025
1. Listening Age
Discover how your musical taste compares to others in your age group. This feature calculates your “listening age” based on the release years of the tracks you stream most frequently. You might find that your musical preferences skew older (hello, classic rock fans!) or younger than your actual age.
2. Top Albums
For the first time ever, Spotify Wrapped includes your Top 5 Albums of 2025. This addresses one of the most requested features from previous years, giving album-focused listeners the recognition they deserve.
3. Wrapped Clubs
Get sorted into one of six unique Clubs that represent different listening styles and personalities:
- Soft Hearts Club – For sensitive souls who love emotional music
- Club Serotonin – For those seeking happiness-inducing tracks
- Full Charge Crew – High-energy listeners who love upbeat music
- Cosmic Stereo Club – Adventurous listeners exploring diverse sounds
- And two more clubs!
Along with your Club assignment, you’ll receive a role based on your listening behavior:
- Club Leader – Your listening strongly matches the club’s values
- Scout – You’re always seeking new releases
- Archivist – You love music from past eras
4. Fan Leaderboard
Think you’re your favorite artist’s biggest fan? Now you can see where you rank among listeners worldwide based on total minutes listened. Instead of just knowing you’re in the top 1% of listeners, you might discover you’re the 5,432nd biggest fan of Taylor Swift or the 892nd most dedicated Bad Bunny listener.
5. Listening Archive (AI-Powered)
Using artificial intelligence, Spotify generates up to five unique reports highlighting your most memorable streaming days throughout 2025. These personalized snapshots include categories like:
- Repeat-Heavy Day – When you couldn’t stop playing one song
- Most Diverse Day – Your most eclectic listening session
- Biggest Music Listening Day – Your highest streaming volume
- Throwback Thursday – When nostalgia took over
- Discovery Marathon – Your most adventurous musical exploration
6. Wrapped Party (Multiplayer Feature)
The biggest innovation in Wrapped 2025 is Wrapped Party, the first-ever multiplayer experience. This interactive feature transforms Wrapped into a social activity you can enjoy with up to 10 friends.
Wrapped Party Features:
- Compare listening stats side-by-side
- See who listened to the most total minutes
- Discover who’s the most obsessed fan
- Find out who played the rarest tracks

- Dynamic awards that update every session
How to Start a Wrapped Party:

7. Top Audiobook Genre

8. Enhanced Podcaster Clips
Your favorite podcast hosts may appear directly in your Wrapped with personalized video messages. Featured creators include hosts from:

Eligibility Requirements for Spotify Wrapped
Not everyone will receive a Wrapped experience. To qualify for your personalized 2025 Wrapped, you must meet these minimum requirements:
Minimum Streaming Activity:
- Streamed at least 30 different songs
- Each song must have been played for more than 30 seconds
- Listened to at least 5 different artists throughout the year
Account Requirements:
- Must have an active Spotify account (Free or Premium)
- No minimum subscription length required
Important Notes:
- Brand new accounts created in December 2025 likely won’t have enough data
- Both Free and Premium users get Wrapped (Premium users don’t get exclusive features this year)
- You must use the Spotify app or website – third-party apps don’t count
Spotify Wrapped Data Collection Period
A common question every year concerns exactly when Spotify starts and stops collecting data for Wrapped.
The Cutoff Date
For years, speculation suggested Spotify stopped tracking data on October 31st. However, Spotify officially confirmed this is not true.
2025 Data Collection Period:
- Start: January 1, 2025
- End: Approximately mid-November 2025
In 2024, Spotify extended the data collection deadline to November 20th for certain features. While the exact 2025 cutoff hasn’t been officially announced, it likely follows a similar pattern, capturing most of November but stopping in time for Spotify to process millions of users’ data before the December release.
What This Means:
- Your December 2024 listening likely counted toward Wrapped 2025
- Most of your November 2025 streams are included
- Late November and early December 2025 listening won’t appear in this year’s Wrapped

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see previous years’ Wrapped?
Unfortunately, once a new Wrapped releases, previous years’ interactive experiences are no longer accessible. However, your Wrapped playlists from past years remain in your library (search “Your Top Songs 2024,” “Your Top Songs 2023,” etc.).
Do Free users get the same Wrapped as Premium subscribers?
Yes! Both Free and Premium users receive the same Wrapped experience in 2025, with all features available to everyone who meets the listening requirements.
Why isn’t my favorite song in my Top Songs?
Wrapped calculations are complex and based on multiple factors:
- Total play time (not just number of plays)
- Consistency of listening throughout the year
- Skip rate and completion percentage
- When you discovered the song (recent discoveries may have less total time)
Can I customize or edit my Wrapped?
No, Wrapped is automatically generated based on your actual listening data and cannot be manually edited. This ensures authenticity and accuracy.
When will Wrapped 2026 be released?
Based on historical patterns, expect Spotify Wrapped 2026 to arrive in late November or early December 2026, likely on a Wednesday or Thursday.
Does listening to my own Wrapped playlist affect next year’s results?
Yes, any music you play on Spotify counts toward future Wrapped calculations, including replaying your 2025 favorites in December 2025 or throughout 2026.
Can artists see who their top listeners are?
Artists have access to aggregate data through Spotify for Artists, but cannot see individual user information. Your personal Fan Leaderboard rank is private unless you choose to share it.
Why is my Listening Age so different from my actual age?
Listening Age reflects the era of music you prefer, not your actual age. If you love classic rock from the 1970s but were born in 1995, your Listening Age will skew much older—and that’s perfectly normal!

Spotify is bringing Wrapped offline with approximately 50 pop-up experiences in major cities worldwide, including:
- Oasis activation in Manchester
- JENNIE experience in Seoul
- Bad Bunny celebration in Mexico City
- Chappell Roan installation in New York City
