Music lovers, Santa Claus is heading your way with the gift you’ve been waiting for all year.
That’s right: Spotify, the popular music streaming platform, will soon release Spotify Wrapped – your personalized listening history from 2025 “wrapped up” in a set of Instagram-worthy graphics.
Since its 2016 inception, the music recap has become a full-blown pop culture and social media sensation. Each year, users await the drop with anticipation, eager to see which artists dominated their streaming habits and to share the data, presented in vibrant, eye-catching visuals, across their social media platforms.
“We hear from fans that Wrapped has almost become a ‘cultural report card’ of their year in streaming,” wrote the company in a 2024 statement.
Ahead of Wrapped, Spotify has introduced weekly listening stats that give users a snapshot of their recent streaming habits, essentially serving as a mini version of the annual feature.
“It’s all about exploring your unique music taste and maybe uncovering something new along the way, just like you do with daylist, Release Radar, and Discover Weekly,” wrote Spotify in a Nov. 6 statement. “Want the full story of your year in music? That’s what Wrapped is for.”
But when will this year’s Spotify Wrapped release?
Here’s everything you need to know.
When does Spotify Wrapped 2025 come out?
Spotify has yet to announce when 2025 Wrapped will drop and has not made any announcement regarding it on social media. A representative for the streaming service told USA TODAY on Nov. 3, they did not have any additional information to offer on 2025 Wrapped.
With past releases falling in late November or early December, this year’s drop is likely just weeks away.
● Spotify Wrapped 2024 came out Dec. 4.
● In 2023, Spotify Wrapped released on Nov. 29.
● In 2022, Spotify Wrapped released Nov. 30.
● In 2021 and 2020 Spotify Wrapped released Dec. 1.
Does Spotify Wrapped include listening data from January through December?
Despite rumors that Spotify Wrapped only collects data from Jan. 1 to Oct. 31., the platform confirmed that the round-up does, in fact, track listening data past Halloween.
After social media users joked that their time to manipulate their listening data would end Oct. 31, the audio streamer shared a Halloween graphic on X of a jack-o’-lantern filled with candy and a message reading: “Spotify Wrapped doesn’t stop counting on October 31st.”
The platform has not confirmed when exactly it stops tracking listener data for Wrapped this year, but we know it will at least be past Oct. 31.
